SKY KING - COMING TO YOU FROM TV LAND

SKY KING

~ REMEMBERING OUT OF THE BLUE ~

Sky King was a 40's tv action series that had started as a radio program of the same name. It was about a former World War II pilot named Schuyler King, long with his niece and nephew "Penny" and "Clipper".  They lived on the Flying Crown Ranch near the ficticious town of Grover, Arizona & near a top-secret military installation. Due to his military background & the small numbers of law enforcement officers in the area, Sky King often found it necessary to round-up the local bad guys and protect the military installation from being robbed, spied upon, or blown up.

Did You Know?

There was also a Sky King Radio Show that was broadcast beginning in 1946. That series ran for eight seasons until 1954, overlapping with season one of the TV series.

The information on the shows I review are compiled through various tv, cable programming news & related info resources. I have taken an interest in reviewing network shows that not only do I enjoy week to week, but that hold an intent & purpose to help change the world that we live in for the good. It is all about being the change I want to see in the world - today!
