Bryan here with an interesting piece of information on one of my favorite 60’s TV shows. When my kids were younger, I re-discovered the joy that was the British kids programme (see what I did there?) THUNDERBIRDS! The show featured “Supermarionation” and all characters were hand manipulated to generate the action. The vehicles that were “driven” by the characters were amazingly detailed and many times filled with smoke, sparks and fire to make them “realistic”. I know how all that sounds, but it truly was a great show, written for both kids and adults alike.
My son and oldest daughter loved that show and the news that ITV in Great Britain is bring it back warms the cockles of my heart. ComicBookNews has an interesting article with a First Look at the upcoming show.
If you have never experienced the fun that is THUNDERBIRDS, head over to the ITV site here for information or click the here for the IMDB page for the class show or here for the new one.
