Anecdotes
This was originally filmed as a TV series, but contractual obligations forced Republic Pictures to give a theatrical release before allowing it to be broadcast on TV. Because episodes don't end in "cliffhangers," some serial "purists" refuse to accept it into the serial canon. Unlike short subject series, the episodes follow a definite story arc, which becomes incomprehensible to the viewer if shown out of order. Post-1948 films were shown on early-to-mid 1950s TV, often while still being available for theatrical showings as well. The mass syndication of postwar product by Republic Pictures resulted in many theaters boycotting the distributor. The records of the New York State Censorship Board at the New York State Archives clearly show that all twelve episodes of this serial were submitted for approval and licensing for theatrical exhibition in that state in 1953.

Commando Cody is a blast!

I'm a sucker for all of Republic's "Rocketman" adventures. There were three Rocketman serials before this: King of the Rocketmen (1949), Radar Men From the Moon (1952), and Zombies of the Stratosphere (1952). Next came these 12 episodes of Commando Cody: Sky Marshal of the Universe (1953) which are like chapters of a serial only without cliffhanger endings. It's an entertaining hybrid of a serial and a TV show. This series uses plenty of stock footage, but that doesn't bother me one bit. It adds to the fun! I wasn't alive back in the 50's, but Commando Cody never fails to provide me with enjoyable escapism in 2005. All of Republic's Rocketman adventures are a blast!
