Welcome to the Spacemen’s Luck website. Here we can enjoy our reminisces from our childhood memories of the age of space.
My name is Thurman “Ray” Plumlee and I am a baby boomer who was born in the mid 40′s (specifically 1947) and enjoyed the radio and TV shows of the 1950′s, 1960′s and even the earlier action cliff hanger serials going back to the early 1930′s. Basically, anything “men in space” from my youth and the earlier programs that inspired them.
My personal favorites are Science Fiction Theater, Tom Corbett, Space Cadet, Commando Cody (the Rocketman), Rocky Jones, Space Ranger, Men Into Space, CDR Buzz Cory of the Space Patrol and, of course, Twilight Zone.
That is not to say I didn’t enjoy the other shows like Captain Video, Dimension X, Tales of Tomorrow, Flash Gordon, Buck Rogers, Captain Z-Ro, and many others. They too are favorites.
When I was growing up there were not many new TV shows being aired. Fortunately a lot of what there was, was juvenile action science fiction related. Also there were not many, if any, movies being made for TV. So a lot of what we saw were the movies from the 1930′s and 1940′s. Especially those cliff hanger serials such as Buck Rogers, Flash Gordon and Rocketman.
