Line 9:
* [[The Chick]]: Carol Carlisle
* [[Product Placement]]: Like many shows of the period, the show was basically [[Merchandise
* [[Sci Fi Writers Have No Sense of Scale]]: In one episode, Cadet Happy is ''absolutely astounded'' by the size of the Solar System. Buzz and Carol bring him back down by reminding him that there are a ''lot'' of stars in the Milky Way, with our sun being only one of them. To be fair, this was a 1950s show aimed at children (who might not understand the concept of big distances), but it seems unrealistic for someone who was born in the 30th century, with ''interstellar'' travel being commonplace, to be astounded by this.
* [[Space Cadet]]: Cadet Happy, although he was more like some sort of 2IC. Some of the Chex commercials, however, followed this trope a little better, with kids dreaming about being on the Space Patrol.
