Adventure Of The Galaxy Rangers Explored - Forgotten 80's Sci-Fi Western Cartoon

The Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers might have slipped your attention even if you were there during the 1980s. The series took inspiration from a wide variety of westerns and science fiction films for one spectacular season in 1986. Given that the iconic Tom Cruise movie released only a few months before, there are also surprisingly many references to Top Gun.

We are taking a long look back at the weird idea, peculiar cast and catchy theme tune of Galaxy Rangers in our most recent video posted on our channel today. But really, our new jam is "No Guts, No Glory" by Johnny Vancouver. The show's opening sequence did an excellent job setting the stage. In 2086, aliens visited Earth to give humans sophisticated interplanetary technology in return for their safety from the Crown Empire.
