Line 12:
* [[The Film of the Series]]: In fact, the only case where the film of the series was a ''[[Film Serial|serial]]''. The serial ("Captain Video, Master of the Stratosphere") is not lost and is available on DVD. The color tinting, however, is lost and had to be recreated for the DVD; unfortunately, they messed up and used color for all the other planet scenes instead of just for the outdoor scenes.
* [[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.
* [[No Budget]]: This, and pretty much everything the fourth-ranked [[DuMont]] network put out in its ten years (1946-56) as a [[Struggling Broadcaster]]. The network tried to leverage its access to Broadway's theatre district as a source of talent, but ultimately went broke in 1956 as cities with only one or two VHF TV stations would affiliate those stations with stronger networks [[CBS]] and [[NBC]], which were already well-established in prime-time radio.
* [[The Other Darrin]]: The Captain was played by two actors during the run of the series, and a third for the film (mentioned above).
* [[Shout-Out]]:
