Description by OLDIES.com:
Premiering in syndicated markets during the 1955 holiday season, Captain Z-Ro's mix of sci-fi action and educational content quickly made it "the best children's show on television", according to the Kefauver Committee on Juvenile Delinquency. Creator and star Roy Steffens (née Steffensen) had previously produced a 15-minute version of the program for local live TV in California. All the episodes were directed by David Butler, who made the charming futuristic fantasy Just Imagine (1930). Though the series has not been shown on television since it left syndication in 1960, it was highly influential on later time travel shows such as the BBC's Doctor Who (1963-1989) and NBC's Quantum Leap (1989-1993). The similarities were not lost on Quantum Leap's creators, who showed star Scott Bakula watching Captain Z-Ro in the last episode of that series.
Unseen in decades, Captain Z-Ro has been lovingly transferred from the original 16mm prints to ensure the highest quality.
DISCOVERY OF GOLD: Captain Z-Ro must stop a killer from taking credit for the discovery of gold in California.
METEOR: A flaming meteorite hits the hull of the ZX-99, putting Captain Z-Ro and Jet in danger.
AZTEC PAPERS: Captain Z-Ro and Jet must act quickly to save a helpless slave girl from being sacrificed to the Aztec god of fire.
WASHINGTON AND HOWE: The British will win the Revolutionary War unless Captain Z-Ro can get an important message to General Washington in time.
