History Trivia / AdventuresOfTheGalaxyRangers

* OtakuOClock: Because of its position in syndication, its lack of a toy deal, and its tone it was usually aired in the ''very' wee hours instead of in the after-school block

* TheWikiRule: [[http://galaxyrangers.wikia.com/wiki/Galaxy_Rangers_Wiki The Galaxy Rangers Wiki]].

* TalkingToHimself: Henry Mandell did an amazing amount of voices, especially for secondary characters. The Screen Actors Guild had rules for overtime, but being as Henry was a series producer and the creator's brother...

* NamesTheSame:
** ''Galaxy Rangers'' is the international distribution name for ''Series/KyoryuSentaiZyuranger'', as can be seen in the closing credits of its American adaptation ''Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers''.
** In the Latin American Spanish dub, they were called ''Los Guardianes de la Galaxia'', translated in English? ''ComicBook/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy'' - one fan had a ''great'' deal of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hwpK_-UahHU fun with this.]]
** The Andorians, who have no relation to the blue guys from ''Franchise/StarTrek''.
** The Kiwis are neither a hairy-skinned fruit, a funny-looking bird, nor are they from UsefulNotes/NewZealand.

* PlayingAgainstType: Creator/JerryOrbach tended to play anti-heroic types (or just plain slimy; see Billy Flynn of ''Theatre/{{Chicago}}''). Even [[WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast Lumeire]] was a bit of a scoundrel. His best known role was, of course, [[Franchise/LawAndOrder Lenny Briscoe]] (who was on the side of law most of the time, but not the nicest or most moral guy). Zachary being a straight up ByTheBookCop and LawfulGood type was certainly a departure.

* FanNickname: Robert Mandell is called "Sir Robert" and Chris Rowley's nickname is "Master Kaymo," a reference to Rowley's Dragon series.

** The writers admit that they would have jumped at the chance to write in an excuse for Zach to sing, seeing as Creator/JerryOrbach was a Broadway veteran.[[note]]He would go on to be the speaking and singing voices of Lumiere, the talking candelabra from ''Disney/BeautyAndTheBeast''.[[/note]]

** Toy licensee Creator/{{Galoob}} planned to make more action figures (including Niko, [=McCross=], Scarecrow, Waldo, and Zozo) and the [[CoolBike Jet Cycle]] vehicle before the line was canceled.

* DuelingShows: ''Galaxy Rangers'' beat its SpaceWestern competitors, ''WesternAnimation/{{Bravestarr}}'' and ''Anime/SeiJuushiBismarck''[=/=] ''Anime/SaberRiderAndTheStarSheriffs'', to the American airwaves by a year[[note]]Although ''Bismarck'' (i.e., the show that ''Saber Rider'' made a {{Macekre}} of) came two years before this show.[[/note]]--not that it made any difference in the ratings.

* ActorAllusion: Shane and the Slaverlords having a [[InstrumentOfMurder laser-shooting guitar]] duel in "Battle of the Bandits?" Yeah, likely a nod to WesternAnimation/SilverHawks where Doug Pries played a different cyborg space cowboy.
