Hi 5 Legacy

Production costs, cast salaries and a whole host of other considerations make Hi 5 what it is today. Boasting more than 10 seasons is no easy feat. It's even more impressive that the original cast stayed onboard for 5 seasons or more. It was painful to see them go.

What happened offset that made them leave seemed like what happened with the original Power Rangers cast - it was cheaper to hire young, fresh faces. As much as I dislike how artificial and more Candyland-like the newer seasons look and feel, I still have to hand it to the new cast for being brave and staying strong in standing up to all the negativity.

As an adult, I'm glad that the Hi 5 legacy continues thus far so that each generation has great educational music and a diverse group of role models to grow up with.

Let's hope that everyone working on and off the Hi 5 set get along wonderfully so that the children get to see genuine smiles on the cast's faces.
