This little gem from the Fifties is great fun. The first sci-fi series recorded on film, it's everything you'd expect from a mid-century look at the future (on a limited budget). Fun, kitschy and highly entertaining!! This 2 DVD set includes four 3 chapter stories. The prints are great with clear pictures and sound. Kick back, enjoy, and blast off for fun with "Rocky Jones, Space Ranger"!!!

Okay, so the writers can't tell a planet from a galaxy from a nebula from a moon... I don't care. I love the spaceships (which seem to fly so slowly) and Richard Crane makes a perfect square-jawed, humorless hero. I was fascinated by this show when I was a kid, and it's fun to watch even now. It ain't no STAR TREK, but it helped pave the way for shows like that and the earlier MEN INTO SPACE, which was a far more serious and (dare I say) down to earth treatment of spaceflight. And okay, I like Vena's short skirt. :-) Fun fact: Scott Becker, who plays Rocky's first comic sidekick, Winky (last name never given), was one of the Our Gang kids. He later served time in jail for possession of a concealed weapon, and was replaced by James Lydon as Biffen "Biff" Cardoza.
