Jonathan Tzachor

Jonathan Tzachor (Hebrew: יונתן צחור‎‎) is an Israeli-American producer and director best known for his work on Power Rangers. After a hiatus from the show that stretched from 2003 to 2010, he served as executive producer of the franchise from 2011-2014.

Tzachor's time spent as producer brought many firsts to the world of Power Rangers in terms of storywriting and character development for Power Rangers. Dark themes were used (particularly in Power Rangers in Space and Power Rangers Time Force) instead of the usual comedic tone, and actual casualties of good characters, which had been occurring in Tokusatsu for years, began to be implemented. It would also mark the first time that Power Rangers started fresh every season after Power Rangers: In Space. Furthermore, under Tzachor, much of Power Rangers would draw more material from their Super Sentai counterpart this is also supported by every season's plot being similar to its Sentai counterpart and very little of the plot is changed. Fans of the show have criticized Tzachor for what is viewed as an "overdependence" on the source material, and opinion is divided on his contributions to the series.

After Disney's acquisition of the franchise, Tzachor's final series, Power Rangers Wild Force, would be a split season. Because of Disney's recently completed acquisition of Fox Family Worldwide (and therefore Saban), the first half aired on Fox Kids, while the second half aired on ABC Kids. Ironically, Tzachor was succeeded as producer by the person from whom he took the reins in 1997, Douglas Sloan. MMPR Productions was shut down, and production of the show was transferred to Village Roadshow KP Productions in Auckland, New Zealand (now known as Power Rangers Productions).
