Captain Midnight (1954–1958)
8/10
Silver Dart vs Skyrocket
17 January 2007
I remember Captain Midnight from my childhood but I remember the airplanes name as the "Silver Dart" rather than "Skyrocket". If this isn't correct what series had an airplane named the "Silver Dart". I have won a many trivia contest with that answer for the plane name. Mudd with two "Ds" is another great trivia question for TV trivia. I also remember during the show there was a secret message for those who had a decoder ring. This series was a great example of of how kids' shows in the early 50s tied there advertisers to the shows by having their parents buy a product in order to receive something like a decoder ring to make them a part of the show or a club in order to sell a product. If it wasn't for this show I probably would not be still drinking Ovaltine today. I think the show and the marketing idea made Ovaltine a popular drink for kids during that time period. If anyone know something about the "Silver Dart" vs "Skyrocket please post it as I still use it in TV trivia contest with people my age.
