Captain Midnight

[first lines of each episode]

Announcer:
On a mountaintop, high above a large city, stands the headquarters of a man devoted to the cause of freedom and justice... a war hero who has never stopped fighting against his country's enemies... a private citizen who is dedicating his life to the struggle against evil men everywhere... CAPTAIN MIDNIGHT!

[Ikky explains his theory on why the missiles disappeared]

Ichabod Mudd:
Sure. It's like this: They fire off the rocket - BANG! - It flies through the air - WHOOSH! - It hits the water - SPLASH! - It sinks to the bottom - BUBBLE, BUBBLE, BUBBLE! - Along comes a great, big whale - GOBBLE, GOBBLE, GOBBLE! See?

[Ikky sees Captain Midnight, Tut and Steve staring at him incredulously]

Ichabod Mudd:
No?

Captain Midnight:
[dryly] No.

Captain Midnight:
When do they fire the next rocket?

Steve Darby:
Tomorrow morning. And by tomorrow night, if I don't recover it, they'll be firing *me*.

Aristotle 'Tut' Jones:
You were my friend when nobody else knew I was alive. We were an odd combinaton: the campus hero and the greasy grind.

Captain Midnight:
You taught me all I know about science; I could never teach you anything about football.

Ichabod Mudd:
Gosh! Nobody could teach me anything.

Captain Midnight:
Ikky, if you weren't the best flight engineer in 70 states, I'd never made it back from that last recon run in Korea.

Captain Midnight:
Attention all Secret Squadron members and fighters for justice everywhere! A friend of mine discovered the location of a satellite moon close enough to Earth to be used as a military space station, but before he could reveal his discovery to our government he was murdered. Our next mission is to find his murderer and the secret of the lost moon. We'll rendezvous here at headquarters. This is Captain Midnight signing off with the code of the Secret Squadron - "Justice through strength and courage." Out!

[last lines of Episode 1.21]

Captain Midnight:
Attention all Secret Squadron members! The Arctic Circle is the object of our next mission. There in the frozen North we'll meet the deadly challenge of enemy agents who are trying to sabotage our radar defenses - fight our way across the frozen tundra - face snowblindness and death as tons of snow and ice come crashing down on us in a thundering avalanche. We'll rendezvous here at headquarters as usual. This is Captain Midnight signing off with the code of the Secret Squadron: "Justice through strength and courage." Out!
