I saw this and picked it up for Dave. What little I can gather is it is regarded as great for its time. Have any of you seen or heard of this show?

It's not bad, not great but not bad. The tv show ran serialized stories, with each story being 4-6 episode arks. The science of the science fiction was pretty bad and is more in the fantasy realm. I have a collection with all the eps, but have also found $1 DVDs at WalMart with a couple of the movies. They would take the episode arks and edit them into stand alone films.
The sidekick kid bothers me and the stories overall tend to be ok but on the bland side. I'm much more of a Space Patrol fan.

It had better production values than the God awful FLASH GORDON series which had spaceships that appeared to be nothing more than barber chairs and a sheet metal screen. ROCKY JONES was probably one of the better made kiddie shows of the 50's.
