Along these lines is any of the Irwin Allen Sci-Fi shows from the 60's.
"Time Tunnel" and "Lost in Space" being the main ones with computer bits
heavily sprinkled. IIRC, they did sort of a mix and match to make stuff
look impressive.

Hmmmm, was any of the computer bank in "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea"
really part of a computer?
