Science fiction.
The MAD magazine parody of his show “Captain TVideo” was in the September, 1954 issue.
He retired 50 years ago.
This sounds ridiculous, but I always feel bad for the family when a person goes at 99 because most have a huge party for the person at 100. My great aunt turned 99 in January and we are planning a big bash for her in January 2015….however the plans must be very liquid.
I had all the goodies! The cardboard spaceship, helmets etc.
I remember an old Gene Autry serial about the “Thunder Riders” who were invaders from Mars or maybe some other place in space.
It was pretty entertaining tho really crude compared to modern special effects.
Ed Norton is saddened.
I thought it was the guy who might have pulled this 1987 broadcast signal intrusion starring Max Headroom.

Or maybe it was Captain Midnight that jammed HBO’s sat signal back in 1986.

Time to call up Captain Obvious or Captain Chaos for confirmation.
I think I got a picture of a flying saucer a couple of days ago. Anytime a military aircraft flies over, I often take a picture of it. I heard this one but by the time I got out to the porch it was too far away. I took a single shot anyway. When I cropped it to see it better, there was another craft way in the back ground.One 1949 episode on Archive.org:
