This was a sci-fi western, you idiot.

Ok Captain Video was not the brightest blub in the pack. But why are they giving it a bad rap. Here we go again, it was made for kids. An kids like spacemen an cowboys, an code rings. So give it a see. An a another fact, it's better then some realty shows of today, well most of them.

Well now, I do love early live TV shows, and I love science fiction, but Captain Video is by far the weakest of the live space operas, not helped one bit by the shoehorning-in of footage from crappy old cowboy movies. Taking into consideration the time in which this show was produced, I guess I can understand why they did this, but it certainly was a lazy move. Even "bad" filmmaker Ed Wood never stooped so low!
