Bcit broadcast and online journalism silent feature danger rangers
Danger Rangers is a television program that aired on PBS. From September 2011 to September 2012, the show was re-aired on CBS and This TV as part of the Cookie Jar TV programming block.
Danger Rangers was originally created with its first pilot in 1999; however, the first Hollywood production was completed in 2003. The show was born from the cause of children's safety and was the first show to successfully put Disney quality productions into a quality curriculum. The Danger Rangers series was the most successfully distributed independent show on PBS Affiliates and was documented to have saved lives.
Plot
Six animal heroes called the "Danger Rangers," their robot Fallbot, and their artificial intelligence called SAVO teach children about safety through examples, such as environmental hazards and unsafe places.
Characters
Sully (voiced by Jerry Houser) - A blue sea lion. He is the leader and spokesanimal of the Danger Rangers. He cares a lot about his appearance, but also takes his duties as leader seriously.
Kitty (voiced by Grey DeLisle) - A pink cat. She is the intelligent, cool and adventurous second-in-command of the group. She is also helpful and resourceful, and strongly believes in playing fair.
Burble (voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson) - A large polar bear. He is the strong and humorous recreational safety expert. He is also the group's "gentle giant" and prefers to play both fair and safe.
Squeaky (voiced by Rob Paulsen) - A navy mouse. He is small, yet very valuable to the Danger Rangers. With his size, he can fix any problem which otherwise prove to be too small for the others to handle.
Burt (voiced by Mark Hamill) - A green turtle. He is the team's creative and genuine personal safety expert. As the team's inventor, Burt would always come up with some inventions that would help the Danger Rangers in their missions.
Gabriela (voiced by Tasia Valenza) - A red hummingbird. She is the beautiful operations chief and head safety trainer. While others go out on the field during a mission, she also acts as a supervisor. She was also called G.B.
Fallbot (voiced by John Kassir) - A robot who was created by Burt. He is the eager yet clumsy ally of the Danger Rangers. He dreams of becoming one himself, and is very inquisitive when it comes to learning about safety rules, but sometimes his talkativeness can make others annoyed at times.
SAVO (voiced by Charlie Adler in most episodes, Jonathan Harris in "Mission 547: Safety Rules") - The artificial intelligence of the Danger Rangers' base. His name is an acronym, as it means "Safety Alert Vectometer" (as shown in "Mission 547: Safety Rules"). He would always alert the Danger Rangers of any safety trouble. He also somewhat has a flair for the dramatic.
Junior Danger Rangers - Various children who are future experts at different safety rules that work with the Danger Rangers, who some even look up to.

Production
The extremely high quality production values are attributed to quality of the original production team of Howard Kazanjian, Larry Huber, Jerry Houser and Randy Rogel. Their focus on the mission of the program showed in the extraordinary final product that consistently garnered top ratings.
Business dealings
Educational Adventures (the original company behind the show) built distribution through grassroots efforts and pioneered deals with Virgin Atlantic, Safe Kids Worldwide and many others. The assets of the company were eventually lost due to a baseless lawsuit "North Carolina Business Court records show the injunctive relief claims were withdrawn due to lack of factual support" that has resulted in no new programming or original publishing of note since 2008.
