Used to watch this when I was a kid. As well as Creature Features, good times. KTVU used to be a great channel.

[@jonathanchan7448]

Captain Cosmic was favorite tv show after school.

[@ChrisCrash.]

I was on this show as a kid..twice, 1978 i built these cool robots and won the science fair. steinhart aquarium.

[@larrye.jackson7487]

Back then, KTVU had GREAT children's programming with Bob Wilkins, Pat McCormick's Charlie & Humphrey and Bob March as Capt. Satellite. Great childhood memories.

[@vanessahenry7238]

YES I totally agree with you!

[@ralphreinhardt6020]

Me too, used to watch all those shows. 🙂👍

[@Brother_Dre1900]

This show was after school memories, during my childhood.

[@nickrodriguez4294]

Absolutely! Great stuff!!

[@40datboysha]

OMG! I watched this every day after school and I even had the Capt Cosmic decoder card.

[@augustragone1159]

Thanks for the blast of Bob Wilkins/KTVU past! If you have any more - please bring 'em on!

[@Scarecrow2311]

Ah the memories!! Everyday after school. He introduced my generation to Anime ( was called Japaneses Animation back then ) with Star Blazers! I was even Capt cosmic for Halloween one year as a kid. RIP Bob you showed my entire generation the joys of Sci-fi, Monster & Horror movies

[@kenc9265]

I remember back then I was maybe 10-11 years old was always looking forward to captain cosmic show. Awesome childhood memories

[@postalmarky]

I couldn't wait to get home from school and watch this show in the late 70s. We got it on early cable tv from the Bay area all the way up in Eugene Oregon.

[@lrcavalli290]

I loved this show as a kid

[@CHRISMED2]

i remember watching this show around the same time I had just watched Star Wars. I was 7 yrs old and seeing Capt Cosmic really was a treat

[@johntagtmeier7044]

This was awesome, I love Bob!!!!!

[@phillynott795]

Thank you Mr. Wilkins!

[@VirtualVikki]

If you have any more of these, I would love to see them! Thank you for sharing this great memory!

[@josephvalenzuela311]

Great video. Thanks. I was 8 years old back then.

[@johnslade7540]

Me and my little brother would love to watch those cheezy Japanese science fiction shows. We would rush to see Wilkins. But before that we loved him on Creature Features.

[@johnblile8087]

I was 11 Years Old when This came out

[@davidmitchell9575]

I had just turned 9 earlier that month.

[@ralphyetmore]

I wonder if Bob Wilkins had a lot to do with introducing Japanese sci-fi to american culture at large. When moving from Socal to the Bay, there was an awareness of Japanese entertainment that didn't seem to exist down south. I realize that Japanese-Americans and immigrants would obviously bring their entertainment with them, but having a Bay Area TV station that would show it to a lot of viewers seems like it would be effective in creating a broad awareness.

[@johnblile8087]

God bless you for the memories of my life

[@jmars309]

Many thanks for posting this . It brings so many childhood memories back . I hope ypu have more of Bob Wilkins!

[@behindthespotlight7983]

Maaaan. Was this tied into Specter Man and that weird martian guy who looked through a flying saucer porthole. It was Specter man and something else-man. One big gold guy. One silver who could fly? I’m digging back 46 years here. (sigh) Gen X. The forgotten crew

[@markbrenes5189]

Johnny Sokko and his Flying Robot and The Space Giants . The Space Giants is the one with the family of Robots that transform into jets .

[@justafanofnerdculture7602]

Of course, Ultraman was also featured on this show. Damn, I loved to watch Captain Cosmic!

[@jamiesebastian7694]

I liked Bob Wilkins and Pat McCormick, they were really great for television, I had it so good back then in the '70s. Captain cosmic and creature features were fantastic episodes, long live the legacy of Bob Wilkins. Pat McCormick had a great show after school as well, TV POW. McCormick's trademark was toodaloo 😊

[@notsure1276]

I still have my captain cosmic decoder card.

[@Greathall75]

This was during the broadcast run of Spectreman on Captain Cosmic.

[@the415giant]

I loved watching that pop pop pop video game.

[@jmarx_live]

How do u get a copy of the disco version of star wars theme song of the Captain Cosmic show?

[@DLAbaoaqu]

Which cover of the STAR WARS theme was used?

[@chapolincrack]

That tasmanian devil costume looks very creepy, at the point make crying of fear the first kid who find it

[@Khultan]

🤟🏾😃💯

[@larrye.jackson7487]

Of course he was stronger than the Niners football team. Back then, rhe Oakland Raiders were THE team in the Bay Area.

[@SpookOneMusic]

That theme music…

[@trencher7]

Space Giants was the best

[@Khultan]

Was Starbase 1 in Mountain View?

[@rc4688]

This series must have been humiliating for Bob. But He did great any way.
