Captain Cosmic!

Those of you growing up in the Bay Area during the late 1970s may remember this gem: Captain Cosmic!

Hosted by Bob Wilkins in a dashing super-hero outfit along with his trusty sidekick Wonder Robot 2T2, Captain Cosmic aired every weekday on Channel 2 out of San Francisco. The show introduced young audiences to sci-fi television episodes such as Ultraman, Godzilla, Thunderbirds, and most notabley, Star Blazers. Real fans could join the Captain Cosmic Fan Club, complete with a membership card and the Captain Cosmic Secret Crypto Code.

Thanks to wngl for suggesting that I introduce this long-lost seventies television show to RollerBlog readers everywhere. If you have a seventies gem to suggest, feel free to drop me a line at rollerblog at gmail dot com (or, if you are member of Entrecard, feel free to message me using the Entrecard messaging feature).
