Mark Leeper asks about a 50s tv serial that included a "window on the past."

I'm pretty sure he is referring to Captain Video -- midway through the
evening's adventures, they would say "let's look in on what's happening
on Earth"  (and, since they're out in space and light takes a long time
to get there, thye're looking at what's happening a few years back).

Then, they would run an episode from a cowboy-and-indian serial.

Ahh memories.
