"Gee Whiz" Fact For The Day - Space Patrol

[clovis-man]

Too much time on my hands, I suppose. While browsing through old YouTube clips of really old TV shows, I came across an episode from 1953 of Space Patrol about some human-looking alien bad guys entitled "The Threat of the Thurmanoids". Lo and behold, the chief bad Thurmanoid was none other than Lee Van Cleef. I recognized his voice before I could see that it was him. Not noted as part of his repertoire by IMDB on the page dedicated to him, it was shown clearly in its Space Patrol cast section.

And Clint Eastwood is the jet pilot at the end of Tarantula.
Space Patrol is fun. I watch it to take a break from the 3 Stooges.
