About Rocky Jones, Space Ranger

Rocky Jones, Space Ranger was a syndicated science fiction television serial originally broadcast in 1954.

The show lasted for only two seasons and, though syndicated sporadically, dropped into obscurity.

Because it was recorded on film rather than being broadcast live as were most other TV space operas of the day, it has survived in reasonably good condition.

The film format also allowed more elaborate special effects and sets, exterior scenes, and much better continuity.
