Shortly after Pixar and Disney released the direct-to-video "Buzz Lightyear of Star Command: The Adventure Begins" , this animated series was released. A weekday (and Sunday) series of about 49 episodes was the first to premiere (as part of Disney's " One Too " lineup), but a second set of 13… More episodes soon ran parallel to it (as part of ABC's " One Saturday Morning " lineup). Picking up where " The Adventure Begins " left off, the series follows the adventures of Star Command's finest Space Ranger, Buzz Lightyear (...whom we're all probably familiar with...), teamed up with the daughter of the King of Tangea, Ranger Princess Mira Nova (...who possesses the ability to phase, or "ghost" through solid matter, a trait particular to her race...), the burly young native of Jo-Ad, Ranger Booster Sinclair Munchapper (...who, personality-wise, fulfills much the same stereotypical role as Curley did in the Three Stooges , or as Pledge-brother Flounder did in the movie " Animal House "...), and the prototype [e] x pendable/[e] x perimental (...it all depends whom you ask...) robotic Space R anger, XR (...who fulfills much the same stereotypical role as Iago did in the latter two " Aladdin " films, and in the "Aladdin" series, or as Icarus did in the " Hercules " series...if they were robotic and equipped with a "full body crumple zone"...). Throughout the series, there is no mention of Buzz being of the human race, nor is there any mention of Earth, nor of what year it is; the series COULD be set in the future, or it could be set a long, long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away. Much like "Captain Simian & the Space Monkeys", or " Earthworm Jim: the series ", " Buzz Lightyear of Star Command " has both aspects of it for the amusement of children, and aspects of it that slightly more adult folks will find amusing. An example of the latter is the use of the euphemistic interjection "craters!" when under extreme emotional duress, much like the use of the interjection "slag!" in " Transformers: Beast Wars " and the interjection "smeg!" in "Red Dwarf". Such items as this, along with many nice minor "tips o' th' hat" to trademark mainstays of science fiction productions, allow for a wide audience of viewers to enjoy " Buzz Lightyear of Star Command ". It orginally aired Saturdays at 10:30 on ABC.

I used to love this show as a kid. I had all the figures, bought the video game for the PC, and watched the cartoon every day. I was a huge Buzz Lightyear fanatic. It had a good plot, decent animation, and a nice balance between comedy and action. I especially liked episodes with NOS4A2 or XL. When I think back to the time I was a kid, I miss this show. I know it's not going happen, but I really wish they would bring it back with new episodes. This was one of my favorie shows of all time, and I wish there was a place I could see the old episodes again.
Man it was such a lone time ago when I watched this. hide show
OK,it wasn't that long ago but it feels like it.
This show aired around 2000 and 2001 and I am 15 so that is about half my life.
Any way from what I remember from the show is that Zurg was a goff ball,
Buzz was kinda stubern,Mira was the only one who would stand up to to Buzz,Booster was a cluts and XR almost always got blown up on ever mission.
Now to what I think of the show to be honest for me it was a perfect show that could do no wrong,from the little green men aka the LGMs to the XR's evil brother(XL)it felt like the best thing in the world.
So just yesterday I remembered it and found myself wanting to tell someone of how totally awesome Patrick Warburton is as famed space ranger.
Finely I just want to say that I was worried that the show was never going to be as good as I remember it. But after looking at the other reviews placed under this one.I have high hopes that when I get the change to watch it again maybe I can see if it's YouTubed or some kind of repute on TV.
I strongly recommended this show
"To infinity and beyond"
I love the movie toy story, ever sense i was a kid.
Buzz was awesome to a child and i watched it over and over agian, but when i started thinking...what is star command like, i started to wish there was a buz lightyear movie.
Then! they made one, which is actually a good movie -even if it is for kids lol. Any way after i watched that a bunch they came out with this show on saturday mornings and that was B.A so i watched it alot and now that im older i still like that show, it was awesome!
Its a good show i think. hide show
When I was younger, I enjoyed cartoons and this was one of them. I still do watch them once in a while. About a week ago I came across a dust covered, vhs copy of Buzz lightyear of star command:The adventure begins. Having nothing else to do, I popped it in my vcr and watched it for the first time in a long time...I thought it was still pretty good! I remembered that there was a tv show of it but I was dissapointed to find its BARELY ever on. Still I think its a really good show and im glad its still on the air. Its a classic!
Set in the "Toy Story" universe, this is the show that inspired the Buzz Lightyear toy line. hide show
Well, where do I begin? I am a huge fan of Pixar and the Toy Story movies, which are by far my favorite of their creations. Back when this show first orginally aired and I saw the promos, I thought to myself, well here's Disney selling out again. But at the time I didn't know what they making. Just recently in the last few months while staying up late, I've came across a few interesting things on tv and this show was one of them. Airing late at around 2 AM in the morning, I first found myself annoyed that the Disney channel even had it on, but thanked the heavens that at least it was on latenight tv. Then when I realized that nothing else was on, I found myself going back to it again and again. Overtime I got used to it, then I started to like it. Now I find myself staying up just to watch it. I mean don't get me wrong, Zurg could be a little more evil and a little less goofy, and the character Booster annoys me. But overall this show is enjoyable and written well enough, so you can enjoy it without feeling as though you're watching another Disney sell out money making machine.
