Don Hastings

Don Hastings plays the Video Ranger on Captain Video and His Video Rangers, the sidekick inside cardboard sets, cosmic justice, and DuMont’s low-budget space opera that kids believed completely. First popular American sci-fi adventure series. Hastings is the youth in the mission — a Ranger who makes shoestring effects that now charm and then felt like the future into a two-shot with the Captain.

Captain Video and His Video Rangers is a DuMont hour from 1949–1955, and the catalog still argues in that grammar. Don Hastings’s Video Ranger made Captain Video cardboard cosmic justice feel real to kids — DuMont’s low-budget space opera, first popular American sci-fi adventure series, shoestring effects that now charm and then felt like the future. Don Hastings as The Video Ranger is position, not trivia.

TV Flash files him first through s01e01. Captain Video Prepares to Visit Regus: cardboard sets and cosmic justice, DuMont's low-budget space opera kids believed completely. s01e14 keeps the temperature. In the Clutches of the Klaw — named serial menace, shoestring effects that now charm and then felt like the future. Use s02e01 as a later pin on Captain Video and His Video Rangers, not as homework.

Proof a living room would buy the galaxy on a budget. On TV Flash Hastings is 1950s adventure craft: the Video Ranger as the reason the cardboard photographs as a crusade, still the kid officer who made a serial look official. The argument is the hour he actually played: The Video Ranger on Captain Video and His Video Rangers, 1949–1955, DuMont.
