Synopsis
The classic television series Space Patrol was a stellar success for ABC from 1950 to 1955. As a pioneer in the hair-raising world of live television, the show had a huge fan base of both children and adults. The magic hinged on the cast: Commander Buzz Corry, Cadet Happy, Carol, Major Robertson and Tonga - five 30th century personalities whose lives entwined with soap opera strength as they undertook missions of daring in the name of interplanetary justice. A personal appearance by the cast at a Los Angeles department store drew 30,000 fans. Those fans had no idea that the actors and crew faced dramatic as well as galactic perils.

This book recounts stories of early television and the personal heroics of Kemmer and other cast members both on and off stage. It includes interviews with Kemmer a

    Time Travel without a Tardis

    If you are like most US Baby Boomers, Bassior's SPACE PATROL will put you right back in your childhood living room, gazing at that little black and white TV screen, within a very few pages: time travel without a time machine! The accuracy and exhaustive research are outstanding and the photos of the cast, crew, and equipment stir memories long dormant. The author's love for the show is apparent, but she pulls no punches when it comes to describing the lives, words, and attitudes of the cast and crew. For me, it was a little tough to see how my TV heroes lived their off-camera lives in some cases, but the book is not just a nostalgia trip--it is an in-depth description of what the pioneering days of early and usually live television shows were really like for those who developed, ...
