I found Superhuman Samurai to be a tongue in cheek parody of the genre and in that way superior to Power Rangers. It just didn't take the parody to the extreme that Teenage Tatooed Alien Fighters from Beverly HIlls or that one Animaniacs episode did.
@@jessewilley531 One difference. Syber Squad is based on an actual Japanese Sentai like Power Rangers, unlike Tattooed Fighters which was completely original.
@@RM2011ish Yeah, but if you watch Sentai or Gridman (both of which Shout TV have or had) you'll see 'based on a Japanese show' is only a very loose term. Unlike Ultraman which tried to remain as faithful as possible to the source material, Power Rangers and Superhuman Samurai basically took the fight scenes and crafted their own stories. It is like saying Japanese Spider-Man is based on the comics by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko. (They aren't.)
I've been trying to remember Superhuman Samurai Syber Squad for years. I even binged watched VR troopers recently thinking I was thinking of a weird episode. Legit. THANK YOU!
As soon as I saw Servo, I clicked. I loved Superhuman Samurai Cyber Squad and had some of the toys. It was a bit ahead of its time with the whole battling Kilokhan basically overt the internet. Plus Tim Curry voices Kilokhan. Win win! Total Power Rangers knock off but fun! What a nostalgia trip!
Wasn't a knock off. Two completely different shows even in Japan. Power Rangers morphed and had zords, SSSS(or Gridman in Japan) is based around the insides of computers and systems like that, power grids, banks and more.
I loved that show when I was a kid too and also had some of the toys. The toys were cool from what I remember, at least I liked them then. Lol. I could never remember the name of it though.
I went to a sci-fi con in Tucson , which had John De Lance and he had talked about his new show Legend. he had brought his family out here. I remember watching it. it was pretty good.
Samurai Squad wasn't really cancelled. They only had around 36 episodes of the original show to take battle scenes from and didn't want to license a different show to fill in.
What really happened to the Cosby Mysteries was the simple fact that The Simpsons utterly destroyed Cosby's last show The Cosby Show. As well as an ongoing fight with Eddie Murphy. As well as ongoing flops in theaters Cosby started in that pretty much showed the end of Cosby's fame at the time. Cosby did try one more thing with a show called Cosby that lasted 4 seasons, but it never got the high ratings that The Cosby Show once had.
Wow, this is the first episode of yours ever where I've not heard of a single one of these shows! And here I thought I was the Queen of obscure TV shows... 😭
same. I don't remember it being bad as a kid. It was catchy and for me more appealing than non stop Power Rangers. While I had completely forgotten about the show, when I heard the intro it all came flooding back.
Don’t forget Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog, the Celtic fantasy series that still had giant robots fighting Monsters. And there was the one time that the live action ninja turtles crossed over with power rangers.
OH MY GOD! THAT HUMAN FLY FROM AJ'S TIME TRAVELERS HAS BEEN BURNED INTO MY MEMORY FOR YEARS! I thought it was from Beakman's World since I was 6! Oh man, talk about core memory unlocked!!!
This show sticks in your head, but not as a solid memory. There are places on Reddit and Tropes where you describe stuff you remember but don't know the name of and other users try to figure out what it was. "A.J.'s Time Travelers" has come up several times.
I have fond fond memories of Superhuman Samurai Syber Squad. Watched the heck out of it. It actually originated from a Japanese Sentai series called Hyper Agent Gridman, which eventually spunoff into an action packed anime series (SSSS.Gridman and Dynazenon, plus a movie) which were all quite awesome. Funny enough Syber Squad is quite faithful to the original concept of Gridman, only everything was Americanized with a Saved by the Bell kinda vibe. You could argue the SSSS in the anime titles came from Syber Squad.
All you need to know about "All American Girl" is that the network gave her notes that she was too fat to play herself. She ended up in the hospital due to kidney failure caused by extreme dieting.
According to the creators of the Gridman series, SuperHuman Samurai Syber Squad is canon to the Gridman multiverse. Some monsters & mini plots in the series were then used in the anime SSSS Gridman
I don’t know if it’s fair to say that Superhuman Samurai Syber-Squad failed. They managed to take a 39-episode Japanese series and used that to create a 53-episode American series. That’s kind of impressive to get 14 extra episodes out of it.
This channel is amazing at unlocking random memories. While I have a vague memory of some of these shows. The thing that got me most in this video was the containers of juice in the opening for The Boys are Back @3:20 I haven't thought about those in years.
To be fair, 'Superhuman Samurai Syber Squad' actually has a fanbase loyal enough that the franchise got a slight upgrade as an anime; 'SSSS Gridman'. =)
As a rule of thumb, if actress Essence Atkins is in the cast of a show, that series is usually on bought time. Theres gotta be a record for her as to of how many cancelled shows shes been apart of.
I freaking LOVED Superhuman Samurai Syber Squad! I used to watch that every morning before school and even named my pet gecko Servo. To be fair, I barely paid attention to the human parts, was mostly waiting for the monster of the episode to show up and then get to see the big fights in cyber space. I also remember Legend being pretty alright, nothing super amazing just like, yeah if it's on I'mma watch it sort of thing. The rest of the shows, can't say I was super familiar with any of them, I think I caught some of AJ's Time Travelers once and immediately changed the channel, lol.
I remember watching Super Human samurai Syber Squad, and collecting the toys. It was adapted from Gridman, and ended, because the source material ended.
SuperHuman Samurai Cyber Squad was my second favorite power rangers related show. I was 12 when it come out an never missed an ep. Its how I became a Mathew Laurence fan
A year ago, you would have melt my brain up by giving me the title of this show. I was watching it, had toys from it. Couldn't remember what it was. But i found a article about it a year ago.
SSSS did have its effects for the better down the road in that it played into the creation of _SSSS Gridman_ and _SSSS Dynazenon_ in Japan decades later.
Many of these shows aired during my later teenage years going to the mall, fishing, sports, and girls had my attention I do recall most of the shows, though great upload.
Cybe squad came out when i was 12 and at the end of my love for that, VR Troopers and Power Rangers. I still have toys from the three shows alongside books and some vhs tapes! Once i was a teen i left those tyowr of shows behind as well as my pog collection!
Superhuman Samurai Syber-Squad did'nt get a continuation but the original series its based on got an anime reboot that even has SSSS as part of its name in direct reference to the Americanized version.
I actually met John De Lancie at a convention, and when I went to get my picture taken with him, I said, “You probably don’t hear this very often, but I actually loved the show legend.” I’m honestly not even sure if he remembered it because he looked at me like he was confused and just said, “Oh me too.” Then took the picture.
I remember that era. I was struck by odd similarities between "V.R.-5" and "Sliders" despite their totally different premises. They both showed us C.G.I. tunnels in each episode, and they both had voices whispering in each commercial bumper. "Sliders" won me over rather quickly, but I was always on the fence over whether "V.R.-5" was a good show.
All American Girl really messed up by making it a regular book store instead of the adult book store she actually grew up in. Also I think she was dating Tarantino at the time.
From what I remember, Super Human Cyber Squad faced the same problem as the VR Troopers. All of the action sequences where from a Japanese show, and the production team just ran out of footage to use in their own episodes. And Richard Dean Anderson loved working on Legend
The actor at 625 was also in another 90s drama called "Two" the premise was that a previously unknown twin brother kills his wife and the blame is put on the main character. As he's being pursued by the law, he's actively trying to find and prove that he has a brother who really committed the crime. Good show back in the day
For Superhuman Samurai Syber-squad, despite it failing here in the west it continued to prosper in Japan during this current decade with 2 anime and a movie
Superhuman Samurai Cyber Squad was an absolute favorite of mine. I owned a bunch of the toys, which I still think are amazing. Also, why did every single boy in the 90's have that awful haircut? You know the one.
Are you talking about the hair do that looks like they just woke up and got out of bed but didn't brush or comb their hair and then just put hair gel in without shaping it, leaving it looking spiky on top and sloppy on the sides? Yeah I know that hair style. You can blame Buffy The Vampire Slayer for that. David Boreanaz started that look when he played the good vampire Angel on the series. Back in the late 1990s, all of the white guys in teen movies had that look. From Josh Hartnett in the Faculty to Brendan Fehr in Roswell to Jimmy Fallon on Saturday Night Live. Lol! That look lasted from 1997 to about 2004. So it was seven years of guys 17 to 24 looking like they they were unkept and didn't know anything about personal grooming, lol! 😂
It basically is Ultraman, just fighting inside a computer. The original Japanese version, Gridman, was made by Tsuburaya Productions - the creator of Ultraman. He also had a lot of the same powerups and attacks.
So legend did exactly as moon girl and devil dinosaur has done, any time it starts showing what it could be, wich is great, they do something immediately to bring the show back to meh
I was 10 in 1995 and reading every Hardy Boys book I could. I was so excited to see this Hardy Boys TV show and I remember liking it but I also remember it being cancelled quickly and being sad that I couldn’t find more episodes of it.
LOL! Superhuman Samurai Syber-Squad was actually pretty enjoyable. Goofy, but not as annoyingly serious as VR Troopers. Both were also better than most of modern TV.
Syber Squad managed to get more episodes than it's source material so it has that going for it (they re-used Japanese footage from previous episodes. Gridman was popular in Japan and was even extended beyond what it was supposed to run but ultimately got canceled due to production issues and Tsubaraya burning a butt load of money on Ultraman the Ultimate Hero)
Matt and Jeff's weekly antics on RAW can be watched as the spiritual successor to what became of the Hardy Boys following the closure of their detective agency.
The fun thing od Samurai Syber Squad is that Japan loves it so much that it's canon to SSSS Gridman. It's so great that Japan loved it. Kinda like how we love Samurai Pizza Cats and it bombed in Japan.
The company DiC...was on a downward spiral at this point in time. DiC shows dipped in quality in the mid to late 90's. This is why the DiC dub of Sailor Moon failed in 1995 because DiC had to censor it to kingdom come. ViZ media came along later on and fixed Sailor Moon.
I only remember Superhuman Samurai Fighter Squad because Troy Slaten from "Parker Lewis Can't Lose" was in it, and I vaguely remember "Legend" because of John De Lancie (Q) being in it! I kinda/sorta remember The Boys are Back because of Hal Linden, but the premise reminds me of "Empty Nest" except with guys instead of girls. For the most part, a lot of these shows don't ring a bell for me (and I was 20 in 1995).
Well, this time surprisingly dad's VHS collection didn't help, as I can't say I'm familiar with any of these shows. Only Hardy Boyz I know about in 1995 was Matt and Jeff in WWF when they were the doormen for the King of the Ring PPV. A bit of wrestling trivia for you there. 😉 However, found a good amount of them on TH-cam, so would have those to check out. Also, noticed a couple of times, mainly because I was using it to double check the names, the name tag on the side was off saying the series that you featured previously. Anyways, enjoyed this, thank you.

Superhuman Samurai Syber-Squad certainly wasn't one of the better Power Rangers clones, but I still watched and enjoyed it.
i can't help but chuckle whenever i say 'superhuman samurai cyber squad' out loud
I found Superhuman Samurai to be a tongue in cheek parody of the genre and in that way superior to Power Rangers. It just didn't take the parody to the extreme that Teenage Tatooed Alien Fighters from Beverly HIlls or that one Animaniacs episode did.

Legit. THANK YOU!
You're very welcome. I'm glad we could help
WTF!!! I’ve been trying to find this show for years!!!! I knew I wasn’t crazy
Did you watch the sequel series
@@kashking2276I believe it's on Netflix with its sequel show
Yes !!! For years now I thought the same and that it was apart of VR Troopers
As soon as I saw Servo, I clicked. I loved Superhuman Samurai Cyber Squad and had some of the toys. It was a bit ahead of its time with the whole battling Kilokhan basically overt the internet. Plus Tim Curry voices Kilokhan. Win win! Total Power Rangers knock off but fun! What a nostalgia trip!
Wasn't a knock off. Two completely different shows even in Japan. Power Rangers morphed and had zords, SSSS(or Gridman in Japan) is based around the insides of computers and systems like that, power grids, banks and more.
Same.
Then combined into SSSS Gridman
Never knew Tim Curry did the voice, or did I ever actually hear of this show. Big fan of Power Rangers so I was probably watching that.
I loved that show when I was a kid too and also had some of the toys. The toys were cool from what I remember, at least I liked them then. Lol. I could never remember the name of it though.
The grandma on "All American Girl" had our family in stitches hilarious and great show from the end of my first decade.
yeah she was the funniest character from the show.
Yep, the grandma was the only character I remembered from that show.
Superhuman Samurai syber Squad had the best toys! Drago coming apart and fitting onto Servo is one of the best toy designs ever!
As a matter of fact, the "SSSS" in 'SSSS Gridman' is literally an acronym for the Americanized title 'Superhuman Samurai Syber Squad'! =)
This channel is super underrated man. Nice work.
Thank You!
It's so weird how Penn Gillette managed to appear in at least one out of two of all of these shows. Guy must have been everywhere in the 90s.
I remember watching Legend and VR 5, but I’ll be damned if I can remember actual details! Thanks for showcasing these!!!

Me 2
same. I don't remember it being bad as a kid. It was catchy and for me more appealing than non stop Power Rangers. While I had completely forgotten about the show, when I heard the intro it all came flooding back.
When SHS came out, I stop watching PR. Then SHS hot canceled and junior high school happened
@@pa.encema2821 judging by your spelling, I take it you didn’t finish.
Superhuman Samurai squad aka Gridman. I loved this show. Underrated.
I only remember VR.5 out of those, but I loved VR.5. I was so obbsessed with it and was sad, that it was so short.
Margaret Cho has been very vocal about the way she and the cast were treated by the producers and the network. It wasn't good.
Need a list of all the power ranger clones in the 90s. Beetleborgs doesn't get the recognition it deserves.
110%
Don’t forget Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog, the Celtic fantasy series that still had giant robots fighting Monsters. And there was the one time that the live action ninja turtles crossed over with power rangers.

The one son in The Boys Are Back is played by George Newbern, the voice of Superman on the Justice League cartoon.
Nice
I knew that one of the little kids was familiar but just realized from checking IMDB that it was the little boy on the movie "Liar, Liar".
Also in Father of the Bride, and the voice of Sepeiroth (sp) in the Kingdom Hearts games.

It's good to see some of these shows I've never heard of. I was stationed in Germany in 1994 and never even knew these shows existed
I watched at least 3 of these 10 shows: Syber-Squad, Cosby Mysteries and All-American Girl.
Did Cosby solved his own Crimes? 😅
(Sorry, it was too tempting)

I actually kinda loved AJs Time Travelers as a kid. It was a totally adequate kids educational show in the vein of Beakman’s World.

Superhuman Samurai Syber Squad was among the best of the old programs of the 1990s. And Beetle Borgs and Mystic Knights, etc.

Legend was one of my favorites & the one show I bring up when someone asks which show got cancelled too early.
I bet my 13 Year old self would loved that show. Sadly, it was never in germany
I was a HUGE fan of Superhuman Samurai Cyber Squad and I enjoyed the original Japanese Gridman. SSSS Gridman is also an amazing anime series.

I was not prepared for that 30-year old high schooler lmao
Between that and Bill Cosby dosing audiences...
I miss Superhuman Samurai Syber-Squad. I used to watch that early mornings.
The fun thing od Samurai Syber Squad is that Japan loves it so much that it's canon to SSSS Gridman. It's so great that Japan loved it. Kinda like how we love Samurai Pizza Cats and it bombed in Japan.
Cyber squad my fav when I was little glad they mentioned it on here I always wondered what happened to that show
I remember watching AJ's Time Travelers. Oof, I feel old.
Anderson and de Lancey worked together on SG1 too and the latter was a very compelling antagonist.
The company DiC...was on a downward spiral at this point in time. DiC shows dipped in quality in the mid to late 90's. This is why the DiC dub of Sailor Moon failed in 1995 because DiC had to censor it to kingdom come. ViZ media came along later on and fixed Sailor Moon.
Such a shame
I only remember Superhuman Samurai Fighter Squad because Troy Slaten from "Parker Lewis Can't Lose" was in it, and I vaguely remember "Legend" because of John De Lancie (Q) being in it! I kinda/sorta remember The Boys are Back because of Hal Linden, but the premise reminds me of "Empty Nest" except with guys instead of girls. For the most part, a lot of these shows don't ring a bell for me (and I was 20 in 1995).
The Japanese version of the show Superhuman Samurai Syber Sqaude continues this very day as Gridman
Awesome
Well, this time surprisingly dad's VHS collection didn't help, as I can't say I'm familiar with any of these shows. Only Hardy Boyz I know about in 1995 was Matt and Jeff in WWF when they were the doormen for the King of the Ring PPV. A bit of wrestling trivia for you there. 😉 However, found a good amount of them on TH-cam, so would have those to check out. Also, noticed a couple of times, mainly because I was using it to double check the names, the name tag on the side was off saying the series that you featured previously. Anyways, enjoyed this, thank you.
yeah sorry about that
WWF, Hardy boys 😂
Nice pull 🤙
Was Lita around yet? I think that’s when I was pulling away from WWF
Servo is amazing
