Direct from the year 2254, Captain Video roared onto America's TV screens fighting evil with amazing futuristic weaponry and technology. Aided by the Video Ranger, his teenage sidekick, and an army of Video Rangers around the globe, Captain Video rocketed around the gaIaxy protecting the weak and defenseless from bizarre cosmic villains, usuaIly led by his nemesis, Dr. Pauli.
Since "Captain Video and His Video Rangers" was shot Iive, five days a week, breaks were needed for scenery changes and set-ups. To fiII the time, the action would shift suddenly to a small TV screen, where" the delayed circuit remote carrier" would pick up the Captain's "agents on earth," who often bore a striking resembIance to western heroes Bob Steele and Johnny Mack Brown! Lacking sponsors in the early years, other breaks would be filled with Video Rangers hawking various tie-in merchandise, such as the famous "Ranger Ring" - proof positive "shouId anyone question you of your identity as a Video Ranger." In other spots the Rangers wouId deIiver patriotic messages, impIoring young Rangers at home to practice raciaI toIerance and good citizenship.
These four extremely rare episodes feature both AI Hodge and Richard Coogan starring as Captain Video. Some of the originaIIy broadcast commercials incIuded here provide unforgettabIe, poIiticalIy incorrect moments, such as when the announcer assures kids that their favorite breakfast cereal is "coated with candy!" |
