Very Good! I loved this series! Originally viewed on January 31,1964,I was in the 6th Grade,Freeland Street School,Worcester,Mass.when this episode originally aired on CBS,WHDH-TV,Channel 5,Boston,7:30-8:30 PM.
I watched this program as a boy. I periodically tried to find he theme which I believe was composed by Richard Rodgers. On a whim I decided to see if I could find and it. Low and behold I found Sea Hunt, Men In Space, and The Great Adventure. How weird is that???
I knew it! I knew it! I knew the narrator was Russell Johnson! I will admit though i did have the wrong Robert at first glance I thought it was Robert Wagner not Culp! At least I got the first name right!
And dressed as U.S. cavalrymen, too, from a later period in a totally different theater, the Far West. Ridiculous, ahistorical chronology. Guess they thought noone would notice. I'm sure young kids didn't but looks absurd now!
