WCCB TV18's COSMOS AND THE CAPTAIN...Did This Show Kill SONIC MAN????

I was watching a promo-reel (an advertisement) for our beloved Charlotte, NC station WCCB TV18 from 1982, when I saw something that really surprised me.  Along with ads for other syndicated shows on WCCB at the time like the "Hardy Boys & Nancy Drew" and movie packages like "Cowboy Classics," I saw a quick ad for a kid's show hosted by two costumed people.  It was called "Cosmos and the Captain," and the setting seemed to be a space-ship base.  What the heck?

There is absolutely NO INFORMATION available online about this show.  NOTHING.  So what can we deduce from the very short piece of video footage?  It seems clear that "Cosmos and the Captain" was a kid's show, hosted by two adults dressed up like space voyagers, in costumes that look remarkably like Joel and Mike's outfits on MST3K (Mystery Science Theater 3000 to you uninitiated out there).  Since this came from the early 80's, it's a safe bet that "THE CAPTAIN" is the male with the mustache.

This guy looks suspiciously like the genius guitarist for Blue Oyster Cult, Buck Dharma:

Hmmm.  Doubt it's Buck, as BOC was riding high in '82 and Buck was probably way too busy to host a kid's show in Charlotte.  This is all conjecture, however.  Buck does love outer space and sci-fi, so, maybe... .

Regardless, with the identity of "The Captain" established, the question remains, who is the titular "Cosmos"?  Is it...

                                                                      Her?

Or could it be...

                                                                      Him?  Her?  It?

I would tend to think that "Cosmos" is the young lady in the same suit as "The Captain."  Also, this young lady has a crazy hairstyle (Dig that thing on the back of her head!), which any and all fans of the Kuchar Brothers know is a great, cheap special effect.  Was she meant to be an alien?  Maybe she and "The Captain" interacted like Kirk and Spock on "Star Trek."  Or maybe it was an antagonistic relationship like Spock and McCoy!  Since it was a kid's show, probably the former not the latter. 

OK, so now we have the two main chracters in "Cosmos and the Captain" identified.  Many, many questions remain, however.  Did this show bump our beloved Sonic Man off the air?  Was this show a hosted "Intro To Other Material" show like Sonic Man?  How long did it last?  Did it feature irritating "space sounds" the entire time it was on like "Star Trek" and other space-themed TV shows?  Any merchandise from "Cosmos and the Captain"?  Could it have been based on "Captain and Tennille?"  Oh, man...can't go there yet.  We just don't know.

Can anyone out there help with more information?  Please leave some posts in the comments and, as always, TIVSERV!!!!
