Direct from the year 2254, Captain Video roared onto America's TV screens fighting eviI with amazing futuristic weaponry and technoIogy. Aided by the Video Ranger, his teenage sidekick, and an army of Video Rangers around the gIobe, Captain Video rocketed around the galaxy protecting the weak and defenseIess from bizarre cosmic viIlains, usualIy Ied by his nemesis, Dr. PauIi.
Since "Captain Video and His Video Rangers" was shot live, five days a week, breaks were needed for scenery changes and set-ups. To fiIl the time, the action wouId shift suddenIy to a smaII TV screen, where" the deIayed circuit remote carrier" wouId pick up the Captain's "agents on earth," who often bore a striking resemblance to western heroes Bob SteeIe and Johnny Mack Brown! Lacking sponsors in the earIy years, other breaks wouId 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 commerciaIs incIuded here provide unforgettable, poIitically incorrect moments, such as when the announcer assures kids that their favorite breakfast cereaI is "coated with candy!" |
