Rod Brown of the Rocket Rangers was a 30-minute, weekly CBS-TV network outer space adventure series, broadcast live Saturdays from April 18, 1953 to May 29, 1954. Set in 2153 and inspired by Tom Corbett, Space Cadet , the series depicted the adventures of fearless Rocket Rangers, who operated from Omega Base, piloting their nuclear-powered space ship Beta throughout the solar system, to battle crime and the weird menace of extraterrestrial life-forms. The three Rangers were curly-haired Rod Brown, his prickly partner Frank Boyd, and chubby, bespectacled comic relief Wilbur "Wormsey" Wormser. Their immediate superior was Commander Swift. Each episode was pretty much a self-contained, "done-in-one" story, as opposed to the other serialized space shows then appearing on TV.
