Is Captain Video and His Video Rangers coming back?

Captain Video and His Video Rangers ended its run on April 17, 1953, on the DuMont Television Network. The show was a pioneering science fiction series that captivated audiences during its broadcast years from December 13, 1950, to April 17, 1953. It was broadcast live five to six days a week and was popular with both children and adults, making it one of the earliest examples of televised sci-fi adventure on American television.

The series was set in the distant future and followed the adventures of the Video Rangers, a group fighting for truth and justice from a secret mountain base. Led by Captain Video, the team operated under the guidance of the Commissioner of Public Safety, tackling threats across the solar system and beyond. The show featured a mix of live action and old cowboy movies, with the hero often receiving orders from a robot named I TOBOR, marking the first appearance of a robot in live televised science fiction. It was designed to appeal to a broad audience despite its low budget, and the characters wore uniforms resembling U.S. Army surplus with lightning bolts.

The cast included Al Hodge and Richard Coogan as Captain Video, Don Hastings as the Video Ranger, and Fred Scott as Communications Officer Rogers. The series had no official rating but was notable for its early use of special characters and live television production. Its runtime was 30 minutes per episode.
