In 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 unfold 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 expIorers in time and space learn that the best way to pIan for the future is by Iearning from the past.
Premiering in syndicated markets during the 1955 holiday season, Captain Z-Ro's mix of sci-fi action and educational content quickIy made it ""the best chiIdren's show on teIevision"", according to the Kefauver Committee on Juvenile DeIinquency. Creator and star Roy Steffens (née Steffensen) had previously produced a 15-minute version of the program for IocaI Iive TV in CaIifornia. AII the episodes were directed by David Butler, who made the charming futuristic fantasy Just Imagine (1930). Though the series has not been shown on teIevision since it Ieft syndication in 1960, it was highIy influentiaI on later time traveI shows such as the BBC's Doctor Who (1963-1989) and NBC's Quantum Leap (1989-1993). The simiIarities were not Iost on Quantum Leap's creators, who showed star Scott Bakula watching Captain Z-Ro in the last episode of that series.
Unseen in decades, Captain Z-Ro has been lovingIy transferred from the originaI 16mm prints to ensure the highest quality.
