Series notes
Set in the 22nd century, this science fiction adventure follows the exploits of a group of futuristic police stationed at a remote outpost in deep space. The outpost was called Fort Hope and was located on Planet Avalon. The Rangers were lawmen whose mission was to keep peace on the frontier using a small spaceship to undertake their assignments. The team consisted of a captain and 4 team members.
Space Rangers used regular guns rather than futuristic ray guns. The series had a western in space feel to it. The show failed to gain an audience and was quickly cancelled with 2 of the 4 episodes unaired by CBS.
