I've seen Thunderbirds, but the one I really loved was Captain Scarlet. Drinking, smoking, murderous puppets as the theme for a kids show.
They used to show Captain Scarlet and Stingray on G4 or one of those channels early in the morning a few years ago.

Ahhhh man, another great imagineer leaves us. I loved Thunderbirds and Captain Scarlet too they really were fantastic shows. It's kinda sad that most people don't even know that Team America was a huge tribute to the characters that Gerry Anderson created so many years ago.

RIP Jerry
I drink and I know things.

Space 1999 was a favourite as well as UFO.

He will be missed.
If I had only one wish, it would be for three more wishes.

Not that it was shown here much but Joe90 was kinda cool too.

I liked Supercar the best.
