We all know about the DT/NS team-up episodes, and when they are airing on ABC Family. However, this press release reveals some details about the plot of the two episodes, so I've included them in spoiler brackets. Although dated September 8, I didn't see a press release available from ABC Family's press site until today. Also, check out the times for PRDT on ABC Kids. You'd expect a press release to get those things right, but then again, thanks in large part to such press releases from Disney, we got "The Passion of Connor" as an episode title of PRDT.

DINOTHUNDER MEETS NINJA STORM FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER IN A COLORFUL NEW TWO-PART STORYLINE ON "POWER RANGERS DINOTHUNDER"
BURBANK, September 8, 2004 . . . The five young heroes who make up the Power Rangers DinoThunder team -- Connor, Ethan, Kira, Tommy and Trent -- meet, for the first time ever, their six teen predecessors from the Power Rangers Ninja Storm squad -- Shane, Tori, Dustin, Hunter, Blake and Cam -- in a two-part episode of "Power Rangers DinoThunder" premiering SATURDAY, OCTOBER 2 and SATURDAY, OCTOBER 9 (8:30-9:00 a.m., ET/PT, both days) during the JETIX programming block on ABC Family. The episode will also be presented Sunday, October 3 and Sunday, October 10 (7:30 p.m., ET/PT, both days) on Toon Disney.
Entitled "The Thunder Storm Part 1 & 2," the story begins with Lothor returning from the abyss and casting a spell on those who conquered him once before -- the intrepid Power Rangers Ninja Storm team. Worse yet, he has aligned with Mesogog, the antagonist of the Power Ranger DinoThunder team. Before long, it's up to the 11 new friends to call upon their sharp wits and morphing abilities and -- as a pair of Red, Blue and Yellow Power Rangers alongside a Black, White, Crimson, Navy and Green Power Ranger -- attempt to thwart the ferocious new force of Lothor and Mesogog who are scheming to destroy planet earth.
In addition, a marathon of past "Power Ranger" episodes -- including the "Power Rangers Space Rangers" episode featuring the Ninja Turtles, and the "Power Ranger Wild Force" episode marking the reunion of ten Red Power Rangers -- will be presented SUNDAY, OCTOBER 10 (7:00 a.m.-12:00 noon, ET/PT) during JETIX on ABC Family. The marathon includes an encore of "The Thunder Storm Parts 1 & 2."
"Power Rangers DinoThunder" features adventure, drama and humor while emphasizing the importance of being a team player. Stories are punctuated by exhilarating sports and music scenes, martial arts and acrobatics, special effects and relatable young characters that, in addition to the typical challenges of their teenage lives, are given the new responsibility to help champion good over evil.
The series airs on the JETIX programming block on ABC Family weekdays (8:00 a.m., ET/PT) and weekends (8:00 and 8:30 a.m., ET/PT); on Toon Disney every Saturday and Sunday evening (7:30 p.m., ET/PT); and on the ABC Television Network's "ABC Kids," Saturdays (11:30 a.m., ET/10:30 a.m., CT/PT and 12:00 noon, ET/11:00 a.m., CT/PT).
