Tom Corbett Space Cadet starred Frankie Thomas as Tom, Jan Merlin as Roger Manning, Al Markim as Astro and, later in the show, Jack Grimes as Thistle. More at Swapsale.com
I used to have a 78rp Victor 10" record of how Tiom Corbett got started. He enters the Space Academy and meets Astro -and also meets the truculent Manning. They start out rocky but soon prove their worth.
I still hum the space academy song that closed the story.
I'm amazed that in an age before international broadcasts they felt the need to write "offer good only in the US" in the Kraft Caramels commercial. Did they really think anyone from outside the US would even see the commercial??
@ToxicOdiousOne - "Our" Tom Corbett is a space cadet, too. Unfortunately, he beat the guy who actually reformed Pittsburgh's politics.
As Attorney General, Corbett did quite a bit of strictly political prosecutions, including only going after his opponents while his own party was never investigated.
He also subpoenaed Twitter for subscriber information on two account holders who made disparaging remarks about him, which is highly un-American. He wasted tax $ to fight health care.

Tom Corbett for governor! He made a great District Attorney challenging healthcare. Let's promote him to governor of Pennsylvania.

This show used to bore me even when I was in the fifth grade. "Rocky Jones" was much better.
