Bob Wilkins / Captain Cosmic

Bob Wilkins' kiddie-show-host-alter-ego, CAPTAIN COSMIC, along with his trusty companion, Wonder Robot 2T2, presented Johnny Soko, Japanese cartoons and Flash Gordon serials to San Francisco/Bay Area sci-fi fans every weekday afternoon in the late 70's.

This was must-see tv in my junior high school class.

Around this time, my 70 year old grandmother was stronger than the entire 49ers team as well (1978).

A shame this was before my time and not in my region. But having seen other Bob Wilkins vids here, I find it funny he makes no attempt to disguise his voice.

I can't stop laughing over the TV Pow/Pat McCormick comments. Someone needs to upload that moment. I am dying to hear the POW POW POW POW POW POW POW FUCK YOU! line and see Pat's reaction.

And I still have my Capt. Cosmic Secret Decoder card somewhere.

who did the voices for this opening segment? the guy who says "faster than a speeding bart train" sounds a lot like a voice i heard in other contexts on ktvu.

I remember RUNNING 6 blocks uphill to get home in time to catch Ultraman everyday after school. Ah to be young again.

BAY AREA GOLD!
