Alternate Versions

The first season was originally presented in sixteen 15-minute chapters, with scenes from the previous week, a cliffhanger, and scenes from the next installment. When aired in later foreign syndiation (1990s), all first season segments were combined into 8 half-hour episodes with the first half's end credits and second half's beginning credits being removed, though all "chapter" title screens were retained. The "scenes from next week" were also removed from the first half of the "new" 30-minute episodes.

The real scoop on 'Jason of Star Command'

This show was a great kids show. Sure it maybe wasn't the most original serial type show, but look at how well the classic movie 'Star Wars' did by copying the standard serial action adventure theme. Buck Rogers in the 25th Century continued the concept and even used names like 'Twiki' for a robot, where JOSC had already used the name WIKKI as a flying mini robot gadget. Like most posts this show was a fun show, Dragos was one of the greatest bad guys in any kids show.
