Space Patrol was a science fiction adventure, aimed
at juvenile audiences of the early 1950s via television, radio,
and comic books.
The success of the TV show spawned a radio version,
which ran from October 1952 to March 1955. The same cast of actors
performed on both shows. The writers, scripts, adventures and director
were quite different in radio versus TV incarnations.
Naturally, the series lacked the adult sophistication of such shows
as X Minus One, which focused on adapting short fiction by notable
genre names as Robert A. Heinlein and Ray Bradbury. But as a throwback
to the sort of Golden Age space opera popularized in the 1930s,
the days of science fiction's infancy, by pioneering magazine editor
Hugo Gernsback, Space Patrol is prized by OTR collectors today as
one of radio's most enjoyable adventures.
