When I was either in kindergarten or before I had gotten old enough for kindergarten (so I wasn't yet reading books) we got our first TV, a 7 inch model with a wooden cabinet that was darn near the size of a dishwasher. My favorite TV show was Tom Corbet, Space Cadet. I know now that Heinlein hated it so much that he had his credit removed from the show. But that sure wouldn't have bothered me then if I'd known. I believe that the books were a spinoff of the TV show.
