Oh most definitely...I remember the space ships depicted 'inflight' travelling along a horizontal wire that was clearly visible and with what looked like sparkler fireworks emitting supposed tail pipe 'flames'

Weren't the special effects Amazeing in those days. They threw budget costs to the wind.

What is most worrying today is that you believed it was pretty close to real at the first time of viewing

No less realistic than most modern films really. Spaceflight depicted more like atmospheric flight and the roar of the engines in a vacuum.

The actor is familiar and played in alot of "B" movies back then but, in a million years can't place his name,much less the series name.

Yes Rocky Jones Space Ranger was correct, and to think I used to watch it!
This one probably easier, brings back some memories:

Is that Ralph Kramden's long-lost brother on the right in the picture in your 'sig'?...

My, my...

By the above criteria of age, I must be fully ancient...

I remember watching television in my Irish grandparent's home in San Francisco. My family didn't yet have a set so l would watch my grandparent's set which had a black and white picture. The set was in a cabinet that stood about waist high and the screen was flat on the top and bottom and rounded on the left and right edge. I remember watching the "Mickey Mouse Club", "Crusader Rabbit", the original Jack LaLanne exercise shows, short 15 minute programs with performers like gospel singer Mahailia Jackson, and, on Friday nights, the Gillete boxing matches ("Look Sharp!, Feel Sharp!, Be Sharp!"). The above picture reminds me of a serial that ran on TV in the 1950's titled "Captain Midnight". Does aayone remember that show. Jet Jackson had a sidekick who would always say "The name's Mudd, Ichabod Mudd, two 'D's'"...

EDIT:

"Captain Midnight" also went by the title "Jet Jackson"...
