I loved the Tom Corbett show. I sure wish they were available on DVD. Sigh.
I am sorry Thomas has passed on. :-(
BTW, Space Cadet and Have Spacesuit Will Travel were two of my fav books back in grade school.
I never read Space Cadet, but adored Have Spacesuit... My favorite of Heinlein's juveniles was Time for the Stars, and I also have fond memories of Starman Jones, the first one I read.
