Favorite SUPERMARIONATION(puppets) Anderson TV series?

original THUNDERBIRDS:cool:
original CAPTAIN SCARLET:eek:

[shadokp]

I would have to say Captain Scarlet although I think Thunderbirds is a better series. Does that makes sense? :confused: In other words I prefer Captain Sacrlet but Thunderbirds is a better made and more complete series.

For me, most definitely Captain Scarlet.

Captain Scarlet & The Mysterons.

[Blue Jetmobile]

Does that makes sense?


It does indeed.
Although I have fond childhood memories of Fireball XL5, the "boss" series has to be Thunderbirds.

[Silent Bob]

1. Stingray
2. Joe 90
3. Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons
4. Secret Service
5. Fireball XL5

Stingray and Joe 90 are in first and second place because they are the two shows i have the most vivid memories of, as a child.

I always have this dilemma, at Fanderson renewal time, how to list them THIS year...LOL

However, Fireball XL5 always seems to come up to the top, simply for the quality of writing. For a long time Stingray was a doldrums show for me - I loved it, but only in small doses. In latter years it has come up into the top 3. Then there's Captain Scarlet, which is an indelible part of my childhood.

Thanks to DVD I have had the chance to acquaint myself with both Four Feather Falls and Supercar and I have to say that I do enjoy Supercar a heck of a lot. Four Feathers is a little harder work though.

Very recently Stingray has become a favourite. Can't really say why :) Thunderbirds of course is a god but I've seen it so much and watched it over and over again I won't be watching them again for a while. Also love The Secret Service!

Captain Scarlet & The Mysterons....followed by Thunderbirds, Fireball XL5, The Secret Service & Stingray.

Thunderbirds is my favorite Anderson series. Followed closely by Fireball XL5. XL5 used to be my favorite because as a kid, I never saw the Thunderbirds. But on a whim, I picked up the DVD's and became hooked. It actually dethroned XL5, but yet not taking away anything from it.

[Virgil Tracy]

It has to be THUNDERBIRDS
With Captain Scarlet and Stingray in 2nd place

I'm hoping to see Fireball XL5 soon (As my Dad says it's quite good, but not much of a story, I'll be the judge of that), and the rest of the SUPERMARIONATION series

dear all,
well it's not much of a "secret" as it were, the Century 21 Supermarionation series....nothing against Thunderbirds. It was getting nicely away from token animal and child characters and more adult development...and had a format that should have seen the series go on like a soap opera,for ages...but like the Beatles with Sgt. Pepper Gerry did it with Scarlet. And the rest. Maybe Space 1999 was his Paul McCartney and Wings
The Second Era marionettes will always be better to look at and showcase although that trend to smoother smaller heads were welcome for Thunderbirds away from the initial golf-ball eyes and pancake lips So I lament those bitter AP Films workers who were too stuck in the caricatured goofier stuff. Those bitching about the tail-enders should watch JOE 90-THE Race for as valid a light-hearted character episode that you had in the earlier on.
ANd the odd charm of that episode and the bulk of SECRET SERVICE really kept that trend very much alive.
Also Scarlet was grim,serious not too hilarious well sod that criticism...there's a bitter War going on here ladies and gentlemen...with a new adversary with little information about them to go on.
Okay I'm done Doug

...well, as Douglogger can no doubt attest to, I walk the Scarlet/90/Service walk, with the Captain being the main show then and now. The eccentric Secret Service is the show that makes me smile a lot, and Joe 90 balancing between the two. For action, TBirds shakes and rocks, but I like some character along with the explosions and crashes. So...Captain Scarlet (admire the CGI version, too, and am still waiting for a region 1 box set release on this side of Pond One.), then Secret Service, then Joe and the Big Rat...then the others kind of piled behind.
