The TV show "Cannon" aired late last night featured computers in it.
Someone was doing hacking and using cassette tapes with secret
encoding to access machines.  I think this episode dated from
1972.

Cannon learned about this from some kid who referred to the
computer room as the "fireworks room", with lots of flashing
lights and beeping noises.  By 1972, while most people were not
computer literate, a kid by then would certainly know what a
computer room was and not refer to be a stupid name.

I think it was this episode:
Ep 33: Child of Fear
Paul Stubber taps the computer of the railroad company to be able to rob cars with valuable goods. However, nothing can be proved against him. Cannon finds Stubber's weak spot: The crook fights for the right to keep his son.
