The Misadventures of Danny and Luke

AUTHOR'S NOTE: Please do NOT edit this page unless you have been given my explicit permission beforehand.
The Misadventures of Danny and Luke is a sitcom style spin-off of the show, Power Rangers Robo Force. The series which premiered on Netflix on November 4th 2023 (The same day as Robo Force's 37th episode), is set in an alternate universe to the main show (Where Luke never became a Ranger and Danny never became the team's mentor/engineer) and focuses on the characters of Luke Davis (played by Caleb McLaughlin) and Danny Adams (Same name as character) as they struggle to get through their jobs of working at a special hotel for both humans and Robonoids all while trying to impress their strict boss.
The show is also based on a unaired pilot for a spin-off of Mighty Morphin that was made by Power Rangers series creator, Haim Saban in 1996 which was set around the characters of Bulk and Skull working in a similar hotel environment. When the series was released, it gained international critical acclaim with fans praising both it and Robo Force's unique writing style as well as the show's whitty slapstick-style humour.
== Cast and Characters ==
=== Main cast ===
There are three characters that are seen/heard in every single episode of the show. They consist of:
* Luke Davis is one of the show's two central characters and Danny's best friend with him basically being the same character as his main universe counterpart and is also the more mature member of the duo. Although he still wishes to have fun at work like Danny does, Luke is usually the person to lead his friend in the right direction to make sure they do their job properly by giving ideas on what they could do to achieve their goal for that episode but Danny would often interrupt him and claim Luke's plans as his own.
* Danny Adams is one of the show's two central characters and Luke's best friend. He is often immature, clumsy, silly and has a slight tendency to sometimes make stupid puns and mix up his words by mistake. Danny can also be viewed as being a bit of a brat when things don't go his way which he shows by flapping his arms up and down whilst jumping frantically and groaning. Despite this however, Danny is still kind-hearted and is willing to help others out with their problems even if he needs Luke's help to do so.
* Mr Thompson (Jason Narvy, who previously played Skull in many editions of Power Rangers) is the owner of the hotel and he can be quite strict when people don't do what he asks them to do and is often the foil of Luke and Danny's antics by giving them very harsh punishments if he catches them like when he once threatened Danny with the possibility of him having to clean the toilets for an entire year without the aid of a toilet brush if he played any more pranks on anyone during April Fool's Day.
=== Recurring characters ===
* Victor Vincent (Chris Reid) who was previously a supporting character in Power Rangers Ninja Steel and it's sequel, moves from Summer Cove after graduating from the local high school and gets a job at the hotel where he becomes somewhat of a rival to Danny to the point in which they compete against each other in a couple of episodes. Victor acts like a supreme jock and is not afraid to show off just to make Danny jealous of his superior physical abilities.
* Betty Burke (Kristina Ho) who was previously a supporting character in Power Rangers Beast Morphers, is responsible for running the hotel's cafe/juice bar after she had recently gotten fired from Grid Battleforce when she and her brother, Ben accidentally unleashed a massive flood of pink ooze inside of headquarters. She is also one of the only people who loves to listen to Luke and Danny's jokes (Even if she sometimes gets annoyed by Danny's care-free and bratty attitude).
* Jessie Adams (Nic Sampson, who previously played Chip Thorn on Power Rangers Mystic Force) is Danny's cheapskate but sometimes caring father who usually appears in order to ask the boys for their help with whatever his latest money-making scheme is even though it could potentially get them into all sorts of trouble with the wrong people.
