It didn't help that the heroic team was called G-Force in both versions-is this the G-Force with Mark and Jason, or is this the G-Force with Ace Goodheart and Dirk Daring? G-Force went on an initial trial run in 1986, but mysteriously disappeared after three episodes.
Some fans who might have recognized the faces from Battle of the Planets were now confused by the new names. Episodes previously left out by Sandy Frank as "too risky" were released. Gone were the space battles and 7-Zark-7, replaced by a more accurate translation of the original Gatchaman series-violence and all. In "G-Force, Guardians of Space," five young heroes protect the Earth from the evil alien computor, his gravel-voiced minion Gallactor, and their legions of green-suited terrorists. However, once Sandy Frank's syndication license ran out, media mogul Ted Turner saw the potential in this series and G-Force returned to American airwaves. In the mid 1980s, TV networks relegated Battle of the Planets to odd hours of the morning, then finally dispensed with the series altogether.
