Space Rangers only survived for a mere four episodes on US TV although as with Something Is Out There more episodes were completed and later shown in Australia. Produced with a substantial effects budget and a tongue in check style which subtlely parodies many other science fiction series and movies, it has much to recommend it. Space Rangers was created by Pen Densham, the writer behind Robin Hood: Princes of Thieves and many other movies.
Set in the 22nd century, this series follows the exploits of a group of
police/rangers stationed at a remote outpost on a planet far from earth.
The outpost is somewhat cynically called Fort Hope and is situated on the
Planet Avalon.
