Ha! This was a fun watch. I love that you managed to make a video about our series that is literally longer than every episode played back to back. Anyway, I was Captain S; AMA. Also if you want to see the “old” adventures of Captain S I could certainly make it happen. But it’s lost to time for good reason. Also there was another failed attempt at a second season in 2013. Devon and I teamed up on our own and envisioned a less campy, slightly more adult second season and even raised a little money and shot a pilot, but unfortunately never finished editing it. Captain S is just unfortunately the kind of show that would either require significant financial backing from someone or a group of people who don’t need to worry about money while they’re making the show. Anyway, I’d be happy to talk to you more about the show if you had any questions. I could also easily rip/burn the DVDs for you if you wanted so you could get all that SWEET SWEET EXTRA CONTENT! Also, let it be known that the Nerd jokes you liked in the Christmas special when he’s stuck in Home Alone were all written by yours truly. SUCK IT, JAMES! (Miss you buddy!)

Captain S feels like a time capsule of content creation in the 2000s: pure passion, cheesy humor, low quality, but ambitious regardless of the limitations of content creation back then. I have nothing but respect for PBC productions, end of the day they just wanted to produce an entertaining show that differentiated itself from gaming content back then.

"Chad Belmont" legit might be the funniest name I've ever heard in hindsight.

Captain S will always be one of my favorite show in the classic ScrewAttack days. Miss those guys. 20k for a second season would have been the biggest investment we ever made in production. It was definitely an investment based on my personal faith in PBC. It just didn't work out. I would love to catch up with those guys soon.

Everytime someone plays the Captain S soundtrack an angel gets his wings.

Say what you will about the quality of Captain S as a show, these folks were wildly ahead of their time and were far beyond what most were capable of. It's easy to poke fun of now, but this was 2006, way before a lot of the modern conveniences we have now, which I think makes the fact that they made a pretty accurate re-creation of your typical 90's sitcom very impressive. Yeah it ain't a great show, I can't see myself actually sitting down and watching it unless I'm drunk, but it's definitely cool for what it is and it's a shame that it never got a chance to expand beyond it's initial first season. While I don't think it would have ever been on the level of AVGN or Nostalgia Critic, I do think it could've had the potential to have generated a decent following of dedicated fans. Anyways, great job deep diving this show, I love learning about old internet stuff like this.

The amount of love I have for Captain S will always be high. Got all the episodes downloaded, copied, backed up, and stored in a vault in case the world comes to an end.

His intro drew ideas from "Full House". You can tell from the style of text, and from the actors turning and smiling, a common trait of 90's sitcom intros.

Dylan somehow manages to talk about individuals I've never heard of in my life and still hook me in every single time. I could legit listen to him talk about cardboard for an hour and I'd still find myself fascinated.

That's a name I haven't heard in a loooooooooong time. That AVGN crossover episode feels like one of those sitcom jokes that no one gets nowadays.

Captain S is like that really obscure, yet entirely delightful indie movie that you try to share around in the hopes that maybe it’ll get a little more attention, but sadly it never does. I found about it through Derek Alexander (formerly known as the Happy Video Game Nerd, now Stop Skeletons From Fighting) mostly because he would always have a Captain S poster in the background of his videos, so I decided to check it out, and thought it was awesome. But by then, the series was already dead and everyone had moved on. Such a shame.
