I was part of the test audience with my mom and the series definitely got my vote for airing on one of our channels. Years later same happened with Stargate SG-1.
Just watched the dvd. Love it just as much as I did as a kid back in the day. Reminds me of the first season of babylon 5. Great effects (for the time), great sets, great characters, great villains (banshees were scary). If only this had got a chance to go on for longer.
I loved this show... then again, I was 8 or so at the time but still think that Rangers' universe was certainly more unique than other sci-fi shows have later had
DS9 and B-5 were on during the run of this show. I remember CBS not showing these in order. I think they showed the last one first and back from there.
Space Rangers came out Jan.6, 1993-Jan.26, 1993 was 6 episodes. Just 3 days after Star Trek Deep Space 9, on Jan 3. 1993. Babylon 5 came out the next month Feb. 22, 1993, Power Rangers wasn't until August 28, 1993. Hypernauts came out in 1996 and ran one season of 13 episodes. Voltron was in 1984-85. Captain Power and the soldiers of the Future 1987-88. VR Troopers 1994-96 which was by Saiban the same company that made Power Rangers.
Ja da gebe ich dir recht! Kann mich noch daran erinnern, ich war damals 8 oder 9 Jahre alt als ich die zum ersten mal gesehen habe. War hin und weg von der Serie :D
Holy crap, i saw an episode of this on the Sci-Fi channel (back before they went...i dont know anymore...), 6 episodes huh? maybe that was for the best.
This got released the same time Babylon 5 1st came out. This however debut on cbs though. Unfortunately major netwokrs never respected good sci fi so.....:-(
Diese Woche gekauft, hab es doch so einigermaßen als gut in erinnerung, war aber nun absolut paff: Zeitlos und doch wirkt sie frisch. Obwohl sie doch schon 20 Jahre alt ist, sind die Spezialeffekte doch noch recht ansehnlich :-)
I caught maybe one episode of "Space Rangers" back in the day, so I don't remember much of it. Tracked it down eventually once I re-discovered the show's correct title.
Excellent idea, miniseries to start with, never got optioned as a full series. Poorexecution and effets. Take it for what it's worth, still a piece of scifi for die hard nerdlets everywhere.
_After_ their first year? They never made it _to_ their first year; Space Rangers was canceled after only four aired episodes, and Firefly only made it to 12 aired episodes.
It really isn't though. It's better than almost anything Scifi channel put out in the 90s, and is pretty amusing today. You simply have no taste and I suspect haven't even watched every episode of this show.
