There are Foreshadowing of "Star Trek" as well as the "Batman" TV Show in these Early Television Episodes of "Rocky Jones Space Ranger".
For its Time and Place these Half-Hour Episodes were Highly Entertaining for Youngsters and Child at Heart Grown-Ups.
There are Plenty of Eye-Catching SFX, sure Cheap and Limited by Budget and Technology, but Eye-Candy Nonetheless.
Speaking of Eye-Candy, Mini-Skirted (a Star Trek staple) Vena Ray (Sally Mansfield) is Perky and Lights Up the Screen as the "Girl" Macho-Man Beefcake Rocky Does Not Want Aboard.
He'd Rather have a Pair of Fists and Not a Pair of...Never Mind.
But Vena Demonstrates Her Intelligence and Worthiness Many Times.
Alongside the Rock is Side-Kick "Winky" (Scotty Beckett) who was Channeled by Burt Ward's Robin, and is Mainly a Helper and Handy-Man and All Around Patriotic Space Ranger.
But the Star of the Show is all of the Keen Props like Space Helmets, Brain Blasters, and a Tractor Beam Gadget, along with the Streamlined Spaceships and a Space Station Docking that is a Stunner.
This Entry, among others, is a Combination of a Three-Parter.
Worth a Watch for Nostalgic Baby-Boomers and Seekers of Light-Hearted Fun with a bit of Visual Flare.
