Galaxy Rangers was a great animated with multiple plots spinning around two larger ones. Some background information regarding the extent of the released episodes of the series, the character shown on the cover (Shane Gooseman) is the only ranger with "mutant-like" powers in the spirit of X-men's Rogue from the comics and a toned-down "wolvie" attitude. The rest of the rangers' powers were unique to the setting of the series, and all powers were triggered by pressing their badges which have to be charged periodically. The series was advertised as completely digital in its design and creation (AVID computer system for those who know) with a distinctly different appearance when inanimate computers spoke to characters directly.It's one of the most outstanding animated series of the '80's, and a favorite of mine as well.

I can't believe that there are other people that know about this! My brothers and I seemed to have been the only ones that ever knew about it until now. I'm going to have to let them know that we're not the only ones!! I grew up watching toons (i.e., bugs and friends), woody woodpecker, Ghostbusters, GI Joe, Thundercats, He-Man, Transformers, you know, all the classics. I have three brothers, what else is a girl to do?? :-) But when Galaxy Rangers came out, I thought it was the coolest cartoon ever--they gave the GI Joe gang a run for their $$. I would've thought that Cartoon Network or Noggin or one of these cartoon cable networks would've put this in rotation by now. They gave Thundercats a chance... ANYway, I would love to see this on cartoon network--even if it's just a marathon. Is there anyway to contact the creator and get this thing on DVD??!! Peace to all my Galaxy Ranger FANS!!!!!!!

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.

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.
