Anyone remember an old Japanese sci-fi TV show called "The Space Giants"?

My sister emailed me a little while ago and asked me the same question. She apparently found it on Wikipedia - here.

I used to love that show when I was a kid and remember cheering like crazy when Goldar fought Rodak in the final episode. Anyone know if it has run recently anywhere? I'm sure I'd find it pretty bad now, but it would also be pretty cool to see it again.

I don't think we had that one in our town, but we did have "Johnny Sokko and his Flying Robot", as well as "Ultraman". Both were beyond awesome.

I remember Ultraman too.

You're my age, if watched those shows then if The Space Giants ran in your area you definitely would have watched that too.

I remember the spin-off: The Space Midgets.

There were budget constraints.
