Very nice recommendations! I have a good chunk of these on DVD (though I'm still waiting for a Region 1 release of Pole Position, and have a very nice homebrew set to tide me over in the mean time...)

I always thought of Pole Position as Knight Rider for kids. Not that Knight Rider was much more "adult," of course...hehehe

Great selection, I'm actually going to be reviewing most of those in the near future!

A bit of "FYI" stuff for you:

Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers - 65 episodes

Defenders of the Earth - 65 episodes

Pole Position - 13 episodes

Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors - 65 episodes

Typically, if a series was weekly (Saturday mornings, usually) it would have 13 episodes. If it was daily (Mon- Fri) it would have 65.

[Zaranyzerak]

The episode count was based around a 13-week schedule, so that shows could have each episode repeated 4 times in a 52-week season. (65 divided by 4 = 13)

MOST shows followed this formula, though occasionally you'd get ones that broke the pattern. Season 1 of Transformers had 16 episodes, for example. Robotech was 85 episodes. For the most part, though, this held true.

Finally "Pole Position" well I have mixed feelings about it. Whilst as you can see from my video as a child I thought it was AMAZING looking back at it with adult eyes it was not that good even maybe a bit dull.

[Fedaykin24]

Thanks for the heads up, I guessed right about Pole Position having 13 episodes. The funny thing is I remember as child that this show was always on but of course in reality it was just repeated over and over again.

65 Episodes clearly is a format for American cartoon houses.

Galaxy Rangers and Jayce & the Wheeled Warriors are both gems which have been lost. Great theme music for both series and the JMS connection for Jayce is fascinating and arguably for me why it was of such high story quality.

As for Defenders another high quality show which except for R.A.C. was OK.

Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers is already on my short list of things to buy..not least of all because alot of the other stuff that was on my list i've already picked up.

I am WELL familar with DOTE.watched it back in the day, have the whole series on DVD.

Never really watched Pole Position and i..don't..really feel the need to get it.

Jayce though..GOT..well..the 1st 1/2 of the show anyway..which currently all that is available...i wish Shout Factory would hurry up and release the 2nd box set.

Galaxies Rangers was the first Mainstream exposure to Anime. Used to never miss this one!
