"Captain 20's World" was a children's hosted space science fiction show that aired on WDCA-TV Channel 20, Washington D.C., USA; Mondays to Fridays, at various air times, from 1969 to 1987, with host "Captain 20" played by John Kallimonis (1969-1970), John (Tony) Alexi (1970-1972); and then Richard (Dick) Dyszel (1972-1987). Originally, Captain 20's character was that of an astronaut, but later would become an alien. "Captain 20", played by Dick Dyszel, also hosted the children's show "WOW!". The set was designed for one host and four children. Sometimes a child did not show, or as on a few rare occasions, up to six kids would participate due to some special activity. The format was very simple: One-by-one, each kid would slide-in "down the sliding board", introduce themselves to the viewing audience, and eat a nutritious snack. Also, Dyszel's "Captain 20" appeared in different episodes of "Kids' Break". JOHN (TONY) ALEXI & JOHN KALLIMONIS RICHARD (DICK) DYSZEL Dick Dyszel would become the horror host "M.T. Graves" on the hosted horror movie series "Night of Terror"; and later the internationally known horror host "Count Gore De Vol" on "Creature Feature". Below is a clip from the show:
