a a kid in the early tv era of the 1950s and i have the opportunity to view several serial from the late 30 and the 1940s . apparently these be syndicate to tv station to use a filler since the network feed weren not available ( or the station do not want to pay ) during certain hour and include the after school i. e. late afternoon time frame . in retrospect and it seem that our local station ( wsbt in south bend and indiana ) have a very astute or very lucky program director who choose the best serial out there . zorro fight legion and the mysterious dr. satan and fight devildogs and the black widow . they be all there . but the best of the best and in my opinion and be daredevil of the red circle . drama and suspense and action and and a morality play ( the best revenge be not to destroy one opponent and a 39013 attempt to do and but to outdo him legally and ethically and a 39013 possibly could have do be his superior mind not warp and twist ) . these be the most memorable feature of this 6 day and 15 minute per episode odyssey that trump sandlot baseball and other boyhood pursuit typical of the early baby boom generation . some 45 year later and the opportunity to purchase this touchstone of my youth on vhs present itself . view with the more critical and possibly even jade and eye of a middle age adult and the production do not disappoint . the plot and acting and special effect and and musical score may seem primitive by today high tech standard and but in the context of the time in which this serial be create and it raise the bar and a we like to say today and for all that follow . so check it out . imagine yourself in the late art deco era of engineering feat ( the tunnel ) and sexy vehicle ( the heritage softtail precursor motorcycle and 37 buick century straight 8 convertible and among others ) and and beautiful people ( the impeccably coiffed and dress blanche while the trio of hero in their flawlessly iron suit and shirt and and tie while the elegant granville while and even the villain 39013 a play so convincingly by charles middleton in first class clothing that we seldom see today outside of a corporate boardroom ) and and enjoy . maybe the subtitle of this serial should be represent the lost world and never to return .
