Load of rubbish!!

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Such fun this show was, after a long hard day in college learning electrical engineering principals, I would run home and tune in to the galaxy rangers. Brilliant for it's time, solid plots. Aliens that need our help come to us and offer us the tech to get us into the battle for the galaxy... but then you have a huge bunch of earth based morons out there causing havoc... so what do you do, you create THE GALAXY RANGERS to keep things in check. The super-soldier, Shane Guzman who can alter his density and makeup, the leader (who's name I forget) with his energy weapon cyber arm, his wife Niko, the psychic hottie and doc (read Token), and his three little computer AI friends come to save the day every time. The only problem I had with the show was the lame comic-relief they felt the need to create, but so did George Lucas, to similarly degrade a great scifi universe.

What I liked best about this wonderful series was the way it mixed advanced tech (robots, space travel, etc.) with rustic tech (farming, camping, etc.). This one had a touch of realism that comes from showing how people in an advanced society might integrate their technical assets with older skills in a synergistic way. It reminded me of the same feel that Robert Heinlein's "juvenile" stories (Farmer in the Sky, Starman Jones, Between Planets) created, and in the same way. These rangers aren't just about pushing buttons and saying, "make it so" to their androids. They deal with people in some pretty gritty situations, using _everything_ a lone law enforcer has to call upon, whether it blinks, beeps, or just needs a swift kick.Like everyone else, I dearly wish SciFi or Cartoon Network would run this one. It was great.

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!
