There were a lot of pre-Trek shows with Trek elements. There were a lot of post-Trek shows with a lot of Trek elements (among them a curious little show called 'Enterprise')

We can debate this for eternity without resolving it, because, ultimately, only Gene Roddenberry himself knew what his inspiration was. The point I was trying to make is that Star Trek is the benchmark for all the other shows. "Oh, that reminds me of when Geordi had holo-sex that one time..."

We compare everything else to Star Trek.

Besides, the 'Space Patrol' guy obviously went forward in time, swiped his idea from Roddenberry and came back in time, only to have Roddenberry watch his show and decide that a space show could work after all. It was a causality paradox. Case closed.
