Line 8:
To elaborate on the [[Opening Narration]]: The peaceful aliens represent several planets who are endangered by [[The Empire|The Crown Empire]], an interplanetary dictatorship headed by the tyrannical Queen of the Crown. Thanks to the hyperdrive, Earth begins to interact with alien worlds and colonize distant planets, which leads to a culture that resembles a futuristic version of [[The Wild West]]. Unfortunately, it also leads to danger from spacegoing outlaws, as well as The Crown Empire, which wants to enslave every race it encounters—especially the human race. The crimefighting organization BETA (the [[Fun with Acronyms|Bureau of Extra-Terrestrial Affairs]]) is formed to protect Earth from these threats. BETA's best-known agents are the Galaxy Rangers, four fearless "space cowboys" (well, [[The Smurfette Principle|one]] of them's a cow''girl'') who each have different powers provided by [[Applied Phlebotinum|Series Five brain implants]]. The Rangers are [[Cyborg]] team leader '''Zachary Foxx''', shapeshifting [[Cowboy Cop]] '''Shane Gooseman''', [[Psychic Powers|psychic]] [[Action Girl]] '''Niko''', and [[Deadpan Snarker|wisecracking]] [[Techno Wizard]] '''Walter "Doc" Hartford'''. More information about the Rangers, and their friends and enemies, is available at the [[Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers/Characters|character sheet]].
For a kid-oriented [[Animated Series]] from [[The Eighties]] that had a breakdancing robot in it, '''''Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers''''' has earned a surprising amount of respect from adult fans. The show was sophisticated for an American [[Animated Series]] of its time, and between the involvement of [[TMS Entertainment]] and the epic storylines, it had an [[Animesque]] feel that few of its competitors could match. Even now, it still has a solid fanbase. Series creator Robert Mandell also went on to do ''[[Princess Gwenevere and the Jewel Riders]]'' in the 90's.
Not to be confused with ''[[Power Rangers Lost Galaxy]]'', or with the original western name of ''[[Kyouryuu Sentai Zyuranger]]'', which would become the original ''[[Mighty Morphin Power Rangers]]''.

* [[Absentee Actor]]: Atypically for cartoons from [[The Eighties]], there are several episodes in which one or more of the Rangers don't appear—and at least one ("Mothmoose") in which none of them appear. Sometimes used for dramatic tension, like in "Mistwalker" where a different Ranger's skills would have been better suited to the job, but the one(s) present need to get creative. Most of the time, this was deliberate.
* [[Action Girl]]: Niko, and several of the other female characters as well.
Line 88 ⟶ 84:
* [["Everybody Laughs" Ending]]: Done in a few episodes.
* [[Evil Counterpart]]: [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast|Ryker Killbane]] for Goose, has the same powers but [[Voluntary Shapeshifting|under conscious control]] and with no need for an implant.
* [[Expository Theme Tune]]: Preceded by the [[Opening Narration]]. This can be heard [https://web.archive.org/web/20100813153317/http://www.coucoucircus.org/da/generique.php?id=1280 here.]
* [[Exty Years From Now]]: The story begins in 2086, exactly 100 years after the show premiered.
