That's the first time I've ever seen a Captain Video clip. I've always been curious since seeing Ed Norton of The Honeymooners watching it. I had heard a long time ago that the films of Captain Video were destroyed, used for something else.

For (Secret)Squadron.1950's P.C. I guess.Couldn't have a bunch of kids running around with SS patches on their arms.Theyed look like a bunch of fifth columnists.That's why Captain Midnite and Ovaltine decided to go with the SQ design.

The Captain Midnight secret decoder ring was also very popular. I seem to recall that Captain Video had some kind of glow in the dark ring that could be used to write secret messages. Yes, I'm ancient.

I never knew there was a real Captain Video, I watched the Honeymooners when I was a kid and have the complete set now.
