I remember the show fondly. HDNet has been showing it, Captain Scarlett and Thunderbirds recently. It was very sophisticated material for what was supposed to be a kids show.
I thought about buying the DVDs but feared I may be disappointed. I loved Time Tunnel when I was a kid but today I realize they were really poorly written.
I was thinking about you today. I was pruning bushes in the back yard and thought I had better do it right or you would think I didn't know how to prune. So after about five minutes of doing it the professional way, my patience expired and I butchered the thing. Now when you say, "Jones! Don't you know how to prune a shrubbery?" I will say, "no."
Fireball XL-5 was one of my favorite shows as a kid. I used to put together a long strand of tinkertoys as the XL-5 launcher and race it across the living room then drop a big hunk as the capsule shot off.
