History YMMV / AdventuresOfTheGalaxyRangers

** AmericansHateTingle: While the German dub was ''amazing'' and some of the characters may have come across even better in the German dub than the original English, Doc's dialogue was CutAndPasteTranslation at ''best'', which obscured the fact that most of his lines are pure SarcasmMode.

** The LawfulGood, HappilyMarried, ByTheBookCop...played by the future [[Franchise/LawAndOrder Lenny Briscoe]]

* CanonFodder: LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters, CharacterDevelopment on the main four and several {{Recurring Character}}s, ScrewedByTheNetwork, a couple of plot arcs that are LeftHanging, massive amounts of BackStory that was implied in two or three lines, several {{Noodle Incident}}s, and just enough of a nascent MythArc to hold it together.

* AccidentalInnuendo: ''Buzzwang''? Seriously?

** One episode is titled [[spoiler:"[[Series/StargateSG1 Stargate]]"]], and the plot involves securing a large [[MirrorUniverse dimensional doorway]] before the villains capture it. Niko notes that "Readings indicate incredible power surging!" and that beings of immense power are trapped on the other side because [[spoiler:the Stargate is locked with no way of opening it.]] [[note]]The episode premiered 8 years before the "Stargate" film. And three unrelated science-fiction novels named "Stargate" had already been released by 1983. The term "stargate" was not [[/note]]

* NightmareFuel: A surprisingly large amount for a cartoon from the mid 1980s. Inferred genocides, animal cruelty, body horror, mind rape... oh my. Go [[NightmareFuel/AdventuresOfTheGalaxyRangers here]] for specifics.

* HilariousInHindsight: The LawfulGood, HappilyMarried, ByTheBookCop...played by the future [[Franchise/LawAndOrder Lenny Briscoe]]
** Hell, the narration portion of the theme song even contains the words "Law and Order".

* TheScrappy: Buzzwang to some fans.
** When Chris Rowley was watching a marathon put on at a small sci-fi convention, he called out "Oh, Buzzwang, we wanted to kill him so badly." The rest of the audience said (almost in unison) "So did we!"
** Some of the show's other writers liked Buzzwang even though he was clearly just a knock off of C-3P0 from ''Franchise/StarWars''.
** The Kiwi kids, according to some fans.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: As Robert Mandell put it, he intended Zach to be the protagonist, but then "Along came Goose."

* 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.

* EarWorm: The theme song ''will'' get stuck in your head.

* CompleteMonster: The BigBad is [[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen The Queen of the Crown]], an [[EvilSorcerer evil]] [[SorcerousOverlord sorceress]] who starts off by ambushing Kirwin, and putting a heavy bounty on humans for every two-bit thug in the galaxy. We find out that she's mashing the humans down for LifeEnergy to [[PoweredByAForsakenChild power constructs through which she can see, hear, and administer her Empire]]. It's not only an exceedingly painful process, [[AndIMustScream but the victim is fully awake and aware of what's happened]]. We also see that she slaughtered millions on the planet of Tortuna, leaving a few, domed cities behind in a lot of wasteland. She also was hunting humans because the ''last'' race she used to power Slaverlords has been hunted to near-extinction and she needed replacements. If that wasn't bad enough, she enslaves an entire planet, making the inhabitants work in concentration camp conditions to build a massive hyperspace cannon she uses to [[DefaceOfTheMoon blow a chunk out of Earth's moon]], threatening to do worse to Earth unless they gave her 5000 humans in tribute. On a personal level, she uses the only psychocrystal she's made from a human ([[TheHero Zach's]] [[IHaveYourWife wife]]) to commit MindRape nightly on ''both of them.''
* CultClassic: The fanbase is small, but it is ''dedicated.''

* AwesomeMusic: The soundtrack is a combination of prog-rock and AOR, was cooked up by John Van Tongeren (the guy who went on to score ''Series/TheFortyFourHundred'', ''Series/TheOuterLimits1995'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfTarzan'') and Peter Wetzler. Cult bands FM and Refugee sang tracks on it, and when Koch asked what extras should be on the DVD, the ''unanimous'' vote was for a soundtrack.

* TheScrappy[=/=]TheLoad: Buzzwang to some fans.
