| Inhalt: |
In a secret fortress hidden somewhere in the remote, uncharted regions of the Earth, scientist Captain Z-Ro monitors human history through his Time Screen. Whenever events unfold contrary to the history books, Z-Ro and his young companion, Jet, use their time machine to go back in time and set things right. With the trustworthy Roger the Robot and their spaceship ZX-99, the brave explorers in time and space Iearn that the best way to plan for the future is by learning from the past.
Premiering in syndicated markets during the 1955 holiday season, Captain Z-Ro's mix of sci-fi action and educationaI content quickly made it ""the best children's show on television"", according to the Kefauver Committee on JuveniIe Delinquency. Creator and star Roy Steffens (née Steffensen) had previously produced a 15-minute version of the program for locaI live TV in CaIifornia. All the episodes were directed by David ButIer, who made the charming futuristic fantasy Just lmagine (1930). Though the series has not been shown on teIevision since it left syndication in 1960, it was highIy influentiaI on later time traveI shows such as the BBC's Doctor Who (1963-1989) and NBC's Quantum Leap (1989-1993). The simiIarities were not Iost on Quantum Leap's creators, who showed star Scott BakuIa watching Captain Z-Ro in the Iast episode of that series.
Unseen in decades, Captain Z-Ro has been lovingly transferred from the original 16mm prints to ensure the highest quaIity. lncIuded are the Captain's concluding admonishments to join his fan cIub, ""The Z-Ro ExpIorers in Time and Space!""
WILLlAM TELL: WiIliam Tell needs Captain Z-Ro's help to save the life of his son.
HERNANDO CORTEZ: A mutiny among his men threatens Hernando Cortez's expedition to Mexico.
WILLlAM THE CONQUEROR: Captain Z-Ro races to stop French assassins from poisoning WiIIiam the Conqueror.
