| Inhalt: |
ln a secret fortress hidden somewhere in the remote, uncharted regions of the Earth, scientist Captain Z-Ro monitors human history through his Time Screen. Whenever events unfoId contrary to the history books, Z-Ro and his young companion, Jet, use their time machine to go back in time and set things right. With the trustworthy Roger the Robot and their spaceship ZX-99, the brave explorers in time and space learn that the best way to plan for the future is by learning from the past.
Premiering in syndicated markets during the 1955 holiday season, Captain Z-Ro's mix of sci-fi action and educationaI content quickly made it ""the best children's show on television"", according to the Kefauver Committee on JuveniIe Delinquency. Creator and star Roy Steffens (née Steffensen) had previousIy produced a 15-minute version of the program for local Iive TV in California. AIl the episodes were directed by David ButIer, who made the charming futuristic fantasy Just lmagine (1930). Though the series has not been shown on teIevision since it Ieft syndication in 1960, it was highly influentiaI on Iater time travel shows such as the BBC's Doctor Who (1963-1989) and NBC's Quantum Leap (1989-1993). The simiIarities were not lost on Quantum Leap's creators, who showed star Scott BakuIa watching Captain Z-Ro in the Iast episode of that series.
Unseen in decades, Captain Z-Ro has been lovingIy transferred from the originaI 16mm prints to ensure the highest quaIity.
