Line 12:
* [[Missing Episode]]: Most of the series' episodes are gone, since the kinescopes were lost, destroyed or reprocessed to save money. Some of the surviving ones can be seen at the Internet Archive.
* [[The Other Darrin]]: The Captain was played by two actors during the run of the series, and a third for the film (mentioned above).
* [[Eager Young Space Cadet]]: A forerunner and pace-setter for the standard of space cadet, ''Captain Video'' featured some scenes that were, in fact, supposed to be in space ships, in which the characters would wear crash helmets and goggles, since that's apparently all you need to survive in the depths of space [[Batman Can Breathe in Space|if you have some kind of accident]].
* [[Stock Footage]]: One of the show's most bizarre features was the Video Ranger Broadcast, a [[Show Within a Show]] in which the viewers are treated to footage of people who are allegedly Captain Video's agents at work on various parts of the Earth. This footage was drawn from -- inexplicably -- ''[[The Western|cowboy films]]''. These broadcasts would last several minutes before returning to the live-action events taking place in the [[DuMont]] studio.
