unknown show called Report to Earth. Before Star Trek, Babylon
5 and Stargate SG-1, there was Space Patrol (1950-1955), which
chronicled the adventures of Commander Buzz Corry, Cadet Happy and their
spaceship Terra as they battled nefarious villains with Russian and
German accents in the 30th century. The show was a half hour live space opera
aimed at kids; there was also a 15-minute show that ran in Los Angeles and a few
other places. Kemmer (1921-2004), born Edward William Kemmerer,
starred as Commander Buzz Corry in the radio and TV series Space
Patrol (1950-1955). His starting pay in this series, which was still
drawing fan mail into the 21st century, was $8 per episode. Later Kemmer
switched to the big screen, starring in drive-in and later TV science fiction
favorites, like the 1958 productions Giant from the Unknown and
Mystery Science Theatre 3000 fodder Earth vs. the Spider ("BULLETS
Won't Kill It! FLAMES Can't Hurt It! NOTHING Can Stop It!"). The first of his
many daytime drama roles came in The Edge of Night (1956). Lightly toned
