Danger Rangers is a television program that aired on PBS. It featured six animal heroes who teach children about safety through example. As of December 2011, the show is currently being re-aired on CBS 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. The program transformed the way educational TV is produced today.
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. Because of that original team children are alive today that otherwise would not be.
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 that has resulted no new programming or original publishing of note since 2008.
