Thunderbirds

Does anyone remember the "Thunderbirds" show? It wasn't a cartoon, it was a marionette sci-fi show from the '60's. Is it in reruns anywhere? I remember seeing it reruns years ago...like in the 80's...but haven't really seen it since. It's a fun show.

It gets shown every day here in England on Cartoon Network.

You're lucky. Too bad it's not shown on the Cartoon Network here in the U.S.

It was shown on BBC2 in August and early September 2005 and I loved it and there should be an animated version of the 2004 movie

Back in the Autumn of 1965 I was a Child living in the Detroit, Michigan Area. As soon as I got home from School I would tune in to The Bozo Show. One afternoon President Johnson had the audacity to hold a News Conferance during the time Bozo was on. But us Detroit Area Kids had a little trick up our sleeves. Across the River was Windsor, Ontario, Their TV Station also showed Kids Shows, so I switched over to them. Hey! Whats this? Puppets flying Spaceships and operating all kinds of fancy Gadgets. I Like!
Goodbye Bozo, HELLO THUNDERBIRDS! This happens to be the first Science-Fiction Show I ever saw, so it has a special place in my heart. It's now available on DVD (Yes, I have a Copy - It was the first TV Show DVD Box Set I Purchased!) A Year Later, Thunderbirds was taken off the air, much to my Dismay, but word was out about a new "Space Show" that was shown on another Channel. This Show featured an odd-looking Spaceship that looked like a Flying Saucer with tubes sticking out of it, and one of the crew was this wierd Alien with "Pointy Ears"!
