Bruce Kalish

From Power Rangers Universe

Bruce Kalish is a former executive producer and head writer of Power Rangers, he joined the series in 2005 when Disney requested a fresh direction for the new season Power Rangers: SPD. Amongst his other credentials include work on Black Hole High, The Fall Guy, Jett Jackson, and The Incredible Hulk.

Kalish's style brought a whole new feel to the series, such as more comedic characters, Rangers with specific catchphrases ("Buttery" for Bridge in SPD, "Plan Xander" for Xander in Mystic Force), mulitiple use of explosions for dramatic effect, and more of a dedication to adapting the Sentai source material whenever he ran out of original ideas. Staying in contact with the fandom for much of 2005, Kalish became the subject of both initial praise and encouragement, to eventual ridicule and hatred from a vast portion for some of his decisions in producing, leading him to withdraw from consistent communication completely.

After Jungle Fury, he left the show to work on Aaron Stone , a new live-action series for Disney XD.
