Of the three classic 1950s space adventure TV programs, TOM CORBETT SPACE
CADET was the most realistic, and SPACE PATROL
the most fantastic, with CAPTAIN VIDEO AND HIS VIDEO RANGERS
somewhere in the middle. The great appeal of the TCSC
series
to teenagers and pre-teenagers was that the main characters
were
students, just like us! Tom, Roger and Astro had problems
we
could all identify with. And when they weren't sweating
out
grades or exams, they could take off for a jaunt through
the
solar system, even hyperdrive voyages to nearby stars, in
the
mighty rocket cruiser Polaris, as long as academic advisor
Captain Steve Strong was along!

Long before the advent of Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock, there was "Tom
Corbett Space Cadet." And the camaraderie's of fiction characters that
we came to know and adsorb so well in "Star Trek" in 1966, was
successfully captured here first in the early 1950's.
Tom Corbett (Frankie Thomas), the wise cracking Roger (Jan Merlin) and
the Venusian, Astro (??) . I didn't know of a single kid on my block or
in my grade school who didn't use the character Roger's famous term -
"Aw go blast your jets!" It was a great show for its time and, in many
ways, ahead of its time.

Long live the crew of the Polaris!
