* WhatCouldHaveBeen: WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** In [[http://home.mindspring.com/~allronix/galaxy_rangers/grinfo/starlog.htm this interview]] with ''Starlog'' magazine, series creator [[WordOfGod Robert Mandell]] says ''Galaxy Rangers'' started as a straight ScienceFiction premise called ''BETA Force''. Then he showed it to Bob Chrestani at the William Morris agency, who turned the show into a SpaceWestern by pointing out that it had "all the classic Western themes, the main one being justified violence, which is what all Westerns have been built on--lawlessness, new frontier and pioneers exploring unknown territories."

Not quite. Lost Galaxy is based on Seijuu Sentai Gingaman (ginga means "galaxy", but it's still a different name).

* RetroactiveRecognition: Zachary Foxx was one of Creator/JerryOrbach's earlier roles long before ''Disney/BeautyAndTheBeast'' and ''Series/LawAndOrder'' came out. It's a little hard to recognize his younger voice without the New York accent and trademark [[DeadpanSnarker snark]] that made Lenny Briscoe a star, but it's the same guy.
