    • Trivia
      During the Vietnam War, American soldiers who were taken as Prisoners of War by the North Vietnamese were often interrogated and asked whom the American military leaders were. Reportedly, several POWs would respond with "Captain Video." The North Vietnamese interrogators, being unaware of the TV show, accepted this answer. This allowed the POWs to escape possible torture and avoid giving the identities of the real military leaders.

      Nargola: I said... take him to the greasing pits! Captain Video has delayed long enough. The pretense that he is here as our guest is over! The formula for protonic energy... or the Ranger's life! Let Captain Video make his choice!

    Someone please help? Re Permes Likos episode.

    I was about 11- watched the show every night; one night my mother turned the TV off in the middle of an episode- JUST when an imposter was about to be found out; Both Permes and the imposter had British accents, but the imposter said "It's just your imagin EYE tion- Cockney- which gave him away. This is where my mother turned it off- I was apopleptic LOL

    The next day I asked several kids at school, but no one knew what happened. I never found out. A few years ago I ran into someone who knew the actor who played Capt Video- he was still alive- he asked him what had happened for me but he couldn't remember!

    Please- someone- tell me what happened? I am 79 now and it still gets to me- maybe the OCD that comes with Tourette's (sigh). I begged my mother to let me continue watching it- I still don't understand why she turned it off.

    Before that,,I wasn't allowed to listen to Sergeant Preston of theYukon-evidently the tics manifesting caused the doctor to think it was better for me to stop listening- I was 10. It really upset me not to be able to listen to it with my friends but at least it wasn't turned off in the middle of an exciting episode LOL
