"Space Patrol" Star Dies
Ed Kemmer, who played Cmdr. Buzz Corry on the show, has died
at the age of 84. That show was a bit before my time- was anybody here a fan? I do have a pretty cool "Space Patrol" thermos bottle, though... Here's a link to the obit- http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/wireStory?id=249676 Dale |

They flew a spacecraft that looked a lot like the spinner part of a toy gyroscope I once had. Every planet in the solar system had intelligent life of local origin. One episode had the Saturn-ians suffering a "barking" desease, which turned out to be human head colds. And the human space men had some cold cure medicine that the Saturnians could sniff and be cured immediately. There was also a Saturday morning cartoon called "Capt Skyhook and the Space kiddettes". As a 9 year old it was watchable, but likely unwatchable by an adult. And there was another cartoon featuring a hero and sidekick, and of course the big fat evil antagonist. Who happened to resemble a mean spirited math teacher I had in 5th grade. Anyone who had male nuns in catholic grammar school in the 60's can tell you all about such... |

I think it was Planet Patrol in the US. To jog the memories: Crew: Gamma rays on Other Crew: Yoba rays on Marla: You are cleared for take off Crew: Thank you, Marla I think they used an analog feedback distortion in the theme similar to the Dr Who theme. - Peter |
