My Boomer Tips

This is a short clip of the Polaris rocket on its way to the planet Mars from the old classic outer space cartoon that was lost for years! Old enough to be classified a baby boomers cartoon. 50 years old this year so that makes it a film antique. This was a classic cartoon series about a boy (the son of his astronaut father) who stowed away onboard a rescue rocket inside a crate. Stars are Jimmy, Nancy, Professor Nordheim, Smitty the Navigator, and astronaut Commander Perry. Shown on these shows and stations in the 1950's and early 1960's: ►Ranger Hal (Hal Shaw of WTOP-TV Channel 9 in Washington, DC), ►Sheriff John (John Rovick of KTTV-TV Channel 11, Los Angeles, CA), ►"The Pancake Man" (Hal Smith, seen on KHJ-TV (Now KCAL) Ch. 9 In Hollywood, CA), ►Garfield Goose (Frazier Thomas of WGN-TV Channel 9 in Chicago), ►Captain Satellite (Bob March of KTVU-TV, Channel 2 in San Francisco, CA), ►Major Mudd (Ed T.

    What happened to the rest of the video? I grew up watching Bob March as Captain Satellite. I had 2 friends who were on the show.

    No REAL captain satellite? or Charlie and Humphrey? or Stan on ch20 and speed racer?…. waaaay back and I dont even remember the name-it was a cowboy host who played wake up little suzy and showed ‘Hercules cartoons in 1964.
    Gone…all gone…like mists….
