The creator of Thunderbirds, Stingray, Captain Scarlet, Joe 90, Supercar, Terrahawks, UFO & Space 1999 (amongst others) has been claimed by the great SuperMarionator in the sky. He was a massive childhood influence for me, so thank you Mr Anderson for a lifetime of entertainment and fantastic ideas.
Oh,
and purveyor of the best opening title sequences in the history of television!

Thunderbirds showed here. |
|
| |
^^ oh definitely, 1960's; never heard of the other ones 'til the Internet (and Joe 90 'til just now). "Team America: World Police" movie was a spoof of the genre. |
|
| |
Much loved and cherished. I was a total addict of Fireball
XL5 and everything that followed. |
|
| |
how squinty would halfbakers be really |
|
| |
I don't believe it's possible to watch an episode of
UFO without being disappointed in the way the
future has worked out. |
|
| |
Well all the easy things happened like women in tight pants. |
|
| |
Team America is supposed to make you feel like that, 21Q. It's a piss take. |
|

Thunderbirds was pretty good at establishing tension/excitment (at least, in my preteen mind), which was impressive given the fact that the "actors" could only use voice, lower lip and bodywobble. |
|
| |
On UFO, I never understood why the moon base babes dressed in purple wigs and silver mini dresses. Looked it up... no explanation was ever made, evidently.. |
|
| |
Well, when I were a wee lad, I never realised that the crew of International Rescue were anything *but* real. So it seemed to have worked well enough, for kids. |
