I loved this show! I've never met another person who remembers it or who has ever seen it. It had some fantastic concepts and special effects for it's time and captivating characters and storyline. The idea was, if I recall, that the members had some latent "mutant-like" abilities or special skills or powers that was activated by sime cybernetic implants they had. I'm not exactly sure but I think it might even have used some early computer-aided animation. I'd LOVE to see this in syndication somewhere. Even today I think it would be a big hit, it was ahead of it's time.

It has been 16 years since it's original run, I would have hoped by now some "marketing wizard" would have promoted a live actor version of this classic by now, or at least sought to re-release the original 65 episodes. I can't fathom why the sci-fi or cartoon network haven't snapped this up. Galaxy Rangers actually had well thought out plots, and even better scripts.The animation was above average quality for it's time, and excellent when compared to the talking slide show Japanese animation of today. It predated the heavy toon-toy tie in market, this may have sealed it's doom too. I would willingly spend cash on a DVD of GR if available.

Don't get me wrong, I loved "Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers!" It outright combined two of my favorite genres, sci-fi and westerns -- I remember an article in STARLOG describing the show as "if Sergio Leone had directed STAR WARS."Honestly, though, it was doomed. An intelligent, well-written show with memorable, individualistic characters? A truly unique premise? No action figure tie-ins? Doomed. After all, this is TV, a medium that rewards idiocy and punishes quality. For every intelligent, unique show that succeeded, we all know dozens that faded away.I hope someone picks up this show, or releases more episodes on video. This could be a great cult show if it gets exposure. Sci-Fi Channel, Cartoon Network, wake up and start showing this gem!

As a writer of science-fiction and fantasy, I find "Galaxy Rangers" to be one of the best written sci-fi cartoons ever. The scripts and dialogue are satisfying and the characters are captivating and dynamic. Every other sci-fi cartoon should take a lesson from "Galaxy Rangers." I'm a big fan, and I sincerely hope that "Galaxy Rangers" is brought back on the air somewhere. Anywhere. Are you listening Cartoon Network?
