  Captain Video and His Video Rangers
Captain Video and His Video Rangers, which premiered 27 June 1949 on the DuMont Network, was the first science fiction, space adventure program on television and was to inspire a spate of similar offerings.
As the "Master of Science," Captain Video was a technological genius, who invented a variety of devices including the Opticon Scillometer, a long-range, X-ray machine used to see through walls; the Discatron, a portable television screen which served as an intercom; and the Radio Scillograph, a palm-sized, two-way radio.
However, although Captain Video was "The Guardian of the Safety of the World," he was not able to escape the economic necessities of the industry nor prevent the demise of the DuMont network.

 DVD Verdict Review - Captain Video, Master Of The Stratosphere
When Captain Video and the Ranger do leave their base, they generally travel about in a sleek, futuristic "jetmobile," which we are informed is the fastest thing on wheels—and therein lies one of the biggest disappointments with this so-called space serial.
Video, in the form of television broadcasts, was as new and exciting a concept as atomic energy, jet airplanes, and the new, mysterious device known as the computer.
Captain Video, Master of the Stratosphere may be a delightful memory for many, but sitting through it proved a chore for this judge—and I'm usually a big fan of serials, sci-fi serials in particular.

 Reason Magazine - Who Killed Captain Video?
Cheapjack sets (it was not uncommon for the camera to catch sight of the pots of hot water and dry ice that produced the mysterious mists that cloaked so many of Captain Video's alien worlds) were one of the show's signatures.
Captain Video's original writer, Maurice Brockhauser, was a hack of such prodigious proportions that a frothing producer banned him from the set: "I don't want to see him, I don't want to talk to him!" Eventually such budding science fiction authors as Arthur C. Clarke and Damon Knight helped churn out scripts.
Captain Video may not even have been DuMont's weirdest character; that distinction probably belongs to Dennis James, the host of the daytime women's show Okay, Mother, a pre-Hefner ladies' man who was fond of double entendres and spent much of his airtime hitting on his pretty 18-year-old female sidekick.
