Why split PR Samurai and PR Megaforce into 2 seasons with 20 episodes?
Super Sentai Shinkenger was one long season, but saban used it to make 2 seasons of Power Rangers Samurai. It could have been one long season with 40 episodes, but he chose to make it last 2 seasons with only 2 seasons. Why?
Super Sentai Goseiger was a long season too. Saban is using it for Power Ranger Megaforce. Then, Super Sentai Gokaiger will be used in PRM season 2. If Goseiger is only being used for season 1, and Gokaiger for season 2, then why lower them to 20 episodes each season? It could go on for longer. And why make Megaforce into 2 seasons?

He is just adapting better with the Nickelodeon schedule so he can still adapt Gokaiger in an anniversary season so it wouldn't have been done until 2015 in order to see it. Not much point to pump up the Gokai Changes if there's no longer an anniversary.
Power Rangers Lost Galaxy is getting about 0.66 million viewers on Vortexx. The Samurai franchise averages around 1.6 million on Nick. Even Vortexx's highest-rated show is only getting a little over half of Samurai's average viewers.
Moving it exclusively to a network programming block is a good way to kill the franchise, and HAS killed it once before - after Toon Disney stopped playing PR and it was an ABC Family exclusive, the ratings nosedived and the series was cancelled. Saban's buy-back and the airings on Nick are what saved it.
And the ratings for the Power Rangers old-season reruns on NickToons have been dismal - worse than Vortexx. Power Rangers Time Force only got about 200,000 viewers in its August marathon - a third of Lost Galaxy on Vortexx. And only 57 million American homes even GET NickToons - way down on Vortexx's 114 million. Admittedly, a new series might draw better numbers - but there's even less of an audience on NickToons than Vortexx, and besides, their seasons aren't much longer at all. Nickelodeon is really just the best place for the show right now. The only viable alternative is Cartoon Network (Samurai was running about even in the ratings with the new Thundercats as of May).
