Space Patrol! It would be hard to find another more popular Saturday TV show during the 50s than this outer space weekly drama. Seen nationwide on ABC, Space Patrol was one of the premier Saturday morning ‘Space Opera’ broadcast live for five years.
.
Its success stemmed not only from its ‘slam-bang’ action set in the 30th century but from the complex and varied scripts and excellent supporting cast it presented. Seen here were the Commanders team of co-Adventurers. Lynn Osborn played “Happy”, his comical sidekick, Ken Meyer was Major Robinson the best back up a space hero could have, providing the sex appeal and intelligence of Carol Carlisle the daughter of the Secretary General and Buzz’s sometimes ‘Love interest’ was Virginia Hewett and her sometimes opposite, the dark mysterious Tonga, was played by Nina Bara.
.
 This varied and adept cast made for a variety of situations that was a major factor in the series popularity. Then, of course, there were those futuristic spaceships!
.
From its very beginning the Terra V (Mk I) would carry commander Buzz Cory, played by "Ed Kemmer" on one thrilling adventure after another. Born in the days when the atomic rocket was the accepted prediction for space flight, the Terra V Mk I was very definitely a "Buck Rogers style spaceship." It had a long pointy snout, streamlined fuselage and fins large enough to be wings. It carried ray cannons, rockets, and could land on a magnetic propulsion beam.

 .
First seen in 1950 the Terra V. was considered to be very current in entertainer’s minds as to what the public thought a spaceship should look like. But science was advancing quickly and throughout the very successful Space Patrol TV series, the Terra V would change several times. The Mark 1 was only the first of at least five revisions of the Commander’s famous flagship.
.
And an exciting series of adventures it was! With a leading man played by a real World War II hero, Ed Kemmer, commander Buzz Cory and Space Patrol gave millions of young children something to look up and forward to in the future space travel!
