:I believe Fox cancelled the series because the rating was not satsifactory for them. However, you have to consider the fact that FOX frequently moved the show's schedule around to fit in other sport programs, so you can't really blame the show for having a bad rating when viewers don't even know when the next episode is going to be aired. That's why when it was moved to Sci-Fi, that's when the show's popularity really grown.--[[Special:Contributions/207.6.227.14|207.6.227.14]] ([[User talk:207.6.227.14|talk]]) 19:25, 23 March 2010 (UTC) |

I think there is a DVD release--unsigned
- There is indeed. thanks/Fenton, Matthew Lexic Dark 52278 Alpha 771 23:23, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
The DVD is a 5 disc set, they are the front and back type of DVD. You can get it at Best Buy, Walmart, and lots of other places. Bigcurrens 01:53, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
Release date
When was the series actually shown on TV? I know the article says its a 1990s series, but it would be useful to be more specific, as well as showing the different air dates for different countries. I am in the UK, and remember seeing some of the series on BBC2 in the mid-90s. WikiReaderer 17:59, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

One small detail, possibly worthy of mention
One recurring feature of the show: flying into battle to the accompaniment of the Ramones' "Blitzkrieg Bop". Seems that one of the pilots landed on Mars and found a NASA probe with a "Sounds of Earth"-type CD attached to it; the pilot was able to play the CD, and liked the sound of the Ramones, which apparently was good for morale, as the squadron played it together as they entered combat. Its use was a bit like "Ride of the Valkyries" in 'Apocalypse Now|Italic text' .71.146.24.198 (talk) 23:15, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
Cancellation
Does anyone know why the series was canceled, and why it was never picked up in a book form? Scruffy brit (talk) 21:19, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

Awards....
It would be nice if anyone knew what the 2 Emmy nominations and 1 Satrun nomination were actually for.... As well as more things about critical reaction, and, as above, factors in its cancellation (though it appeared popular and was played all around the world, even being released on DVD).
