CAPTAIN MIDNIGHT
Search key says no dupe threads, so: I just finished watching the VCI videotapes of CAPTAIN MIDNIGHT. Cool beans! I don't know much about the character but they made him a rather rougher spy-smashing...

I like this one, too. Another Horne serial. Dave O'Brien is sensational as the Cap'n; he was a good stuntman who is well remembered for his work in Pete Smith Specialty shorts and for such films as...

Dave O'Brien is one of my favorites. It seemed like he could do anything. He was a dancer in the chorus of some WB musicals, he was a sometimes serial and western star, he played heroes in B-horror...

Interesting that O'Brien became a Skelton writer (at least he wasn't a "ghost writer," he he). I don't know if the early years of the Skelton show were as stunt-heavy as Red's movies but it seems like...

Am on chapter 5 of this thing, and have little idea what's going on (that's true in general, but beside the point). I'd heard of the character CAPTAIN MIDNIGHT before but have never seen or heard an...

I have the 1942 Captain Midnight decoder badge radio premium. It even has OBrien`s photo on it.

Did you like the radio/serial/tv series? Should I seek out any of those after this?

Sorry, I`ve never seen any Captain Midnight movie, serial, or TV show. I found the decoder badge in some junk my older brother brought home from work. He worked for Goodwill and was sent out to pick...

That was a neat find! I go to Goodwill once in a while and never find anything particularly noteworthy, although the stacks and stacks of VHS tapes are pretty depressing.

Cool Beans, there are a couple episodes on YouTube. I`ll try to watch them this weekend.

The "Captain Midnight" TV series, which was retitled "Jet Jackson, Flying Commando" for syndication, was a childhood favorite of mine way back when and still is today. It's a great action-filled show...

I watched THE FROZEN MEN episode. I kept dozing off but not because the show was deadly dull. I enjoyed it. Richard Webb had a great announcer`s voice. I also liked the cast commercials for Ovaltine.

I was watching the COURT MARTIAL episode of STAR TREK on ME-TV last night. One character was hiding out aboard ship & we only hear his voice at first. I kept wondering who the actor was because he...

Rvoyttbots, if you ever get a chance to see the Captain Midnight episode "The Electrified Man" with Ian Keith and Regina Gleason ( unfortunately not on YouTube ), by all means don't miss it. It's the...

It's a pretty campy serial, but good fun. Surprised more of the footage didn't turn up in other Columbia serials (as CM is wearing a pretty generic costume). I think there's one chapter in The Secret...
