I completely agree! The theme song was amazing, and I used to sing along to it when it was on.

That was one of my favorite shows back then. The german dub had a lot of well-known comedians as voiceactors and they didn't take the show that seriously. So they adlibbed a lot of it which made the show even better :)

There are five German Audiobook-CDs of Saber-Rider, which are a continuation of the stroy, taking place some years after Nemesis got his ass kicked back in the phantom-zone (as the parallel world was called in Germany). it had the original voice actors, e.g. Christian Tramitz, Katrin Fröhlich, Florian Halm und Ekkehardt Belle - the only exception is: Arne Eltzholz, who doesn't reprise his role as Jesse Blue - because he was ill at that time, so his role got recast and got played by Phillip Moog. By the way, if anyone is interested: The German version goes: "Hoch damit und raus mit ihnen, volle Energie und fertig ist die Ramrod Infanterie." (Up with it and out with them - full energiey and the Ramrod infanterie is completed).

Add-on: What I also need to mention, is, that apparently the German Dub was sometimes way funnier than the American or Japanese Dub - they often poked fun at themselves and created some really cool sentences, something like "Nä, wat simmer wieder charming heute" (Well, we are charming today!), "Der ist so wichtig wie ein Arne auf dem Eltzholz" (He is as important as an Arne on the Eltzholz - which is a pun at Arne Eltzholz, who provided the first voice of Jesse Blue), or ""Na isses denn die possibility!" Okay, one has to admit, that this cartoon was dubbed in the eighties, when this kind of dubbing was the way, we dubbed shows. I think, it started in the seventies, with a little TV-Show called "The Persuaders", which was a crime-show starring Roger Moore and Tony Curtis. When it was dubbed for the German market, rebranded as "Die Zwei" (The Two or probably more fitting: "Those two") a guy named "Rainer Brandt" started the dubbing process, introducing "Schnodderdeutsch", a mixture of Gutter Language, teenage slang and other sources. "Die Zwei" used with sentences like "Einen Russischen Landwein, bitte" (Russian country wine - "they meant Vodka")," „Lass doch die Sprüche, die setzen ja die nächste Folge ab!“[ (Stop talking like that, they'll cancel us next episode!), or "Sprich mal was schneller, Du bist sonst nicht mehr synchron." (talk faster - or you're not synchronous anymore), which of course had something to do with the problem of Dubbing in general. This version got so popular, that even Tony Curtis and Roger Moore heard of it and wanted Rainer Brandt to write new scripts for "The persuaders", which unfortunately never happened. Lots of Shows and movies, that were dubbed in Germany, got the same treatment - which was not surprising, since Rainer Brandts way of working with the Dubbing was influential. Even Star Trek - which in the english version had some funny lines, too - got the Schnodderdeutsch-Treatment - and, so did Saber Rider.

Florian Halm (Fireball): lots of voice work, Castiel on Supernatural among others Kathrin Fröhlich (April): Regular german voice of Cameron Diaz and Gwyneth Paltrow among others. Ekkehardt Belle (Saber Rider): Has been acting since the early 70s, his voice work include Lorenzo Lamas on Renegade and Kevin Sorbo as Hercules Mannfred Erdmann (Ramrod/Narrator): This is the only instance in which the english version wins in my opinion, after all it's Peter Cullen he's up against, and while Mr. Erdmann did a lot of voice work too, he was the german voice of BA on the A-Team, and I just learned he's dead too, crap. In the end, who really wins, Optimus Prime or Zoidberg? (which is my point of contention for the english version winning here) Basically magic happened during the recording of the german version because the producers had the poor judgement of leaving them alone in the studio and letting them do their thing which led to something special, which is also the reason for the big popularity here in germany. Wow, this got longer than intended, hope it sheds some light on things for everyboy, guess I'm off now to watch a few episodes. (and for everybody with access to german Amazon Prime, it's on there)

I so loved Saber Rider and fangirled him when I was quite young. hey it was the 80s. It was one of those cartoons I could watch on Sunday mornings, on the big metal satellite dishes. Ohh those were the days!

I love Saber Rider and the Star Sheriffs - I'm still using Fireball in my profile picture! It was on at an obnoxiously early time in the morning in the UK on the Super Channel on cable TV, like 5.30 or 6am but was worth it. As a brit having Saber Rider as lead character was awesome, even if he is an unholy mashup of English and Scottish tropes, Colt is a legend and comedy gold. Ramrod as a giant cowboy robot whose entire chest turned into guns was glorious overkill. The show was fun, looked and sounded great (that music is fantastic) and had everything except success. Also I totally wanted to marry April, she was cute, kicked ass and could build super robots. Perfection.

If we think about it, Bismark/Saber Rider as a mecha anime was original by choicing a Western motif for mechs and worldbuilding.

The one that really sticks out was about this school boy who built a sentient laser that he kept in a shoebox under his bed... so yeah. I did get to see quite a bit of Japanese anime though, because most summers the whole family would visit relatives in Hong Kong and we'd see these amazing Japanese cartoons dubbed into Cantonese, so I saw a lot of mecha, which is my favourite to this day.

A large toy(about the size of metroplex/scorpinoc) of ramrod was definitely released in the UK as my neighbour had one. None of knew what it was other than a not transformers or good transforming robot thing as we had never seen or even heard of the show until a couple of years later when we found a vhs of the first few episodes. British TV was kind of weird for the 80s cartoons, I can't recall transformers or gi Joe ever being shown although there was always someone who claimed to have seen it at like 6am on a weekday morning. On the other hand stv used to show some pretty obscure stuff in the few weeks that separated the start of the Scottish and English summer holidays.

Saber Rider was a staple here in Germany and is still one of the most beloved shows of the time. The reason is the German dubbing - it was semi-scripted and absolutely hilarious. Colt, Fireball and Saber Rider are voiced by three of the best voice actors in the business who went on to voice become the German dubs of Colin Ferell, Jude Law and other. If you even speak a speck of German, give it a try, it is so much better than the English version.

When I was a kid I managed to catch two episodes of this show, for some reason it wasn’t aired regularly or at the same time of day, I kept looking for it, even now I only find a couple of episodes online but never the complete series...I still look for it 🥺 Great video Mr Larson, Producer Greg MP 👍🏽✌🏽

There was a website where people could vote on which show they wanted to come back and Saber Rider (and Galaxy Rangers) were miles already of everything else month after month. (Which explains why the videogame studio was mostly made up of Germans. We grew up with this show and it holds more nostalgia than any other shows for a lot of us.)

Saber Rider and the Star Sheriffs is a cartoon/concept and toy line that I would’ve loved as a child. Being a massive fan of Voltron and growing up in the 80s, I’m very surprised that I never knew about this show or the toys that went along with it. This was one of those cartoon series that was popular in Europe and Asia. Just looking at the Japanese toy commercial invokes all of those childhood feelings you get when you’ve seen something you really like and want. Thank you Dan and Toy Galaxy for sharing this lost 80s gem with us.

@@mydrmz we were blessed at the time to have all these shows in Zim back in the day. This Toy Galaxy channel covers many of them. The Voltron on Netflix is AWESOME! Watched the whole series a few years back. Alot of plot twists and cliffhangers in it. Enjoy.

my favourite. that theme music is so good

One of the best or the best cartoon intro of its time

Before I see the episode I have to say. FINALLY!!

This was 1 of my favorites! So awesome to see you covering it Dan, thanks!

Been watching for about 2 years now, and I love that they have been talking about you so much on The weekly planet! Haha. Potential crossover?!?!

All they have to do is call.

This might be one of our absolute favorite of your videos!

Imagine my surprise learning the character in red was actually the team leader

Man! I so wanted Saber Rider toys when I was a kid.

The show was a mega hit in Germany. We even got the five episodes which weren't made into Saber Rider back in the day by WEP. They were released a few years ago as "Lost Episodes". Oh and of course we got five full-lenght radio plays with the same cast. The story was a continuation of the animated show. BTW this is the demo of the game: kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZZp3s7t7eNSYqMo.html

I have zero memory of this. Thanks for letting me know what I missed. Toy Galaxy continues to churn out great gems like this. How does Dan do it! Word on the street he uses a ram rod!

even before the video started ... take my upvote! i love that ANIME !!! xD

This is your funniest video, yet!! Thank you for all of your videos! They are so much fun to watch!! :D

Oh my god, Saber Rider was by far my most favorite show of all! Watched it on German TV station Tele5. Back in the day it aired so many amazing shows.

Instead of dying, the characters were sent to another dimension? They beat Dragon Ball Z to the punch it when it comes to censoring their content.

I'm trying to think was that the ocean dub (was that the first one?!) I still remember watching those early in the morning and being like what is this. Yeah he didn't explode he was sent to another dimension 🤣

I remember reruns of New Adventures of Gigantor on TV in the early 90's. Gigantor would beat the enemy Mech, containing the villain of the week. Which would typically explode in a nuclear type blast. Briefly followed by a bit of dubbed narration assuring us the villain was later arrested...

There was an episode where they were examine a dead body on a plane (space ship?) sitting on a chair...in the US dub they were talking to it and he was talking back like he was just "injured".

Oh my god! I remember hearing about the Saber Rider video game a few years ago. There's a graphic designer named Simon Butler who talked about working on the project and what a disaster it was.

Loved this show as a kid.

Thank you for uploading this, i remember watching an old vhs of the show. But i never knew the names, ive been watching your channel in hopes of one day seeing this. Thank you for your work and for helping me remember a piece of my childhood.

I. LOVE. SABER RIDER AND THE STAR SHERIFFS! Thank you for talking about it, I thought I was the only viewer in the US of the show lol.

One of the best cartoon intros from my childhood along with MASK, Thundercats and Silverhawks.

Around the same time Voltron Legendary Defender was galvanizing small amounts of Tumblrinas about who’s gay instead of you know, having giant robots beat each other up, and stinking up toy aisles with figures of puny humans and non transforming lions no one wanted, the now defunct Lion’s Forge released a 4 issue Saber Rider comic series to see if there was interest in the further adventures of Saber Rider, Fireball, and Colt. You can probably guess how that went.

The over season commercials were so much better for toys then ours IMO

Saber Rider was Huge in Fiji. We didn't get TV till the early 90s and we missed out one Voltron, but Saber Rider would be on TV every afternoon in the late 90s.

Saber Rider were huge popular in my country, Costa Rica, when it was premiered and many still remember it as a great animated series.

I barely remember this show. Thanks for this video.

This was one of my absolute favorite cartoons from my childhood.

I never heard of Voltron until some years ago ... Saber Rider though? Amazing stuff, and I still remember loving that the Outriders turn out to be quite different than expected...that finale... Kampfbereitschaftsphase 1 Hoch damit, und raus mit ihnen. Volle Energie! Und fertig ist die Ramrod Infantrie!

I clicked on this video because I thought I saw Metal Heroes in the thumbnail, but now I'm fascinated whenever I learn that an animated series has gotten dub-exclusive episodes!
