He is wearing Tom Tyler's costume from the Captain Marvel serial!

I believe it was this show's closing credits music that was the most haunting music of my early years. If anyone ever uploads it, I'd be the most appreciative and fascinated person on this site.

Watching the scenes on the show of vehicles speeding on an elevated roadway I wondered as a kid of anything like that could ever exist. And of course it did come to exist, as did almost all the futuristic stuff on the show. Done live, the show ended up with considerable improvisation on the air though most of the actors seldom broke character. We kids worshiped the show.

@TheJomogogo Why is it "hard to believe"? How can you expect a new technological medium to just come out fully formed? Nothing in the real world happens like that, all things start out primitive, and primitive does not mean "crappy".

I have the same problem with my cell phone sometimes.

Might be crappy from todays perspective Jomogogo,but back then it was the one of the best things going,besides it sure got a young boys imagination working
Actually,tv itself was still new so yeah this wouldve been great fun then :)

Hard to believe how primitive and crappy early TV was.

Okay, this guy talks to himself. He must be a REAL space cadet.

That looks like Captain Marvel's top without the cape.
Great to see this part of a very, very early episode, with the original costumes. Apparently from 1950?
