Still have my Captain Midnight club card from when I was a Kid!

Thanks for posting. I used to love this show as a kid. Though made on tight budget, it had higher production values than many of the other SF kid programs. .

Remember kids to wear your Secret Squadron emblem so that Captain Midnight will know that you're one of his guys, and also to drink your chocolate flavored Ovaltine, not some cheap imitation milk flavoring, so that you'll have the strength and stamina to help fight evil men everywhere.

Wow the complete first season I remember Captain Midnight so well, when I was a child in 1955 i was only 7 thanks for this.

[maryannpotter]

Wow. This surely takes me back. I remember that my brother and I had a secret decoder ring --- I think it was a cereal box prize. So nice to see this show here.

I also had my Secrets Squadron decoder ring! I still do! Dr.Tim Rasico

And how could I have forgotten Roy Rogers, Hopalong Cassidy, Pancho and Cisco, Lone Ranger, and the Saturday Morning weekly movie serials like Flash Gordon..

I remember this tv show as a little kid, l wish there were more to see.

[ropeyarn]

I remember watching Captain Midnight . According to the broadcast dates I was only three years old at the time. Ovaltine is malted milk powder with a hint of chocolate.

The kids that grew up with Flash Gordon, Jungle Jim,
Captain Midnight, and others weren't Boomers, but I sure envy them. I wasn't familiar with any of these serials until now. They're really a lot of fun.
We don't have hero's like these anymore.
I think kids need heroes.

Sid Melton pops up in the weirdest places on tv!

[RonGreeneComedian]

I am a baby boomer, and I remember this show as part of the Saturday morning lineup. The lineup consisted of “rough and ready” cartoons, and “fury, the story of a horse, and the boy who loved him.”

[Hypsan]

That's a new one to me! Thanks a lot! Also -- THANKS for keeping in the commercials!!

What's really a hoot: a Douglas D-558-2 Skyrocket (one of three built) is displayed at Antelope Valley College, my alma mater. The Captain's 'Silver Dart' is based on the Skyrocket's design...

I wish I was around in the 50's. Seems like a wonderful time!

My third grade teacher confiscated my Silver Dart Decoder. Had it about two days. Never saw it again. Funny how it still kinda pisses me off.

I remember this show. My sisters and I watched it on our Philco.
I especially recall the sponsor, Ovaltine.
I wanted to.ask.my mother to.buy some, .
But after watching the captain demonstrate how to make it I thought we did not have the proper ingredients to make it.
The captain said to mix it with "tap water" and milk. Well, we had the milk (25 cents a quart) but I never heard of "tap water".
When we wanted water we went to the kitchen sink and turnef on the faucet. It was years later before I heard the faucet referred to as a "tap".
So, I never drank ovaltine !!!!
Now, no one goes to the sink for water. They open a plastic bottle. Kids are shocked by the notion of drinking water from the faucet!!!
I've still never tasted ovaltine.
