THREAD!!

Is that so?

WOW, I DID NOT KNOW THAT.

*points to other topic about exact thing*

The edited Topic header looks good, though.

THIS IS THE VOICE OF THE MYSTERONS... WE ARE GOING TO ATTACK YOU SOMETIME NEXT WEEK FROM THE SEA. BUT WHICH COAST YOU MUST FIND OUT. WILL IT BE BY SUBMARINE OR FROM THE AIR?

LOL fair enough, lets make a thread about it!!

OI YAA

I vote Stingray!!

Alrighty then. Out of all of Gerry & Sylvia Andersons' works it was their SuperMarioNation series of Captain Scarlet that was my favorite. I always thought if funny how the "Mysterons" would allude in some manner to how they would attack. Too bad our enemies in real life don't do that. After that I guess my loyalty would be to the original Thunder Birds, but I also love JOE 90 that show rocked the house. I remember watching THUNDER BIRDS after the Jim Henson Muppet Hour in the early 80's, and much later about 89-90 one of the American syndicated channels had on episodes of the non Sylvia Anderson involved Terra Hawks {Which I would kill to have on DVD}, but I still hold onto my beloved U.K. magazines that showed the behind the scenes stuff that the Anderson's did. I don't have it in front of me right now so I forget the name of the fanzine, but it was rather big in it's day.

Fireball X-5 I just bought so I'm going to check that out along with Sting Ray since {Thank the DVD Lords} A&E is releasing all of this stuff on DVD. *I'm truly pissed off however, that The Thunderbirds is being turned into a live action cheese fest with non other than Bill "Game Over Man" Paxton. It would have been the prime oppourtunity to showcase what Super Marionation is capable of now, but I guess in this day and age no one would care much. I tried showing episodes of Captain Scarlet to my brother in law {the one who like the NEO:GEO age 13} but he said it was corny. I guess to him it would be. *Glad to know I'm not alone in liking the old puppet stuff.

UK TV bitches Jenny Powell & Michaela Strachen aside, Aqua Marina was my choice for hot 80's tv chick!!

I find it bizarre how these shows are presented or introdiuced to the public.

It seems some were shown more, perhaps catered more for a European market.

For instance, Captain Scarlet was shown late night on Chanel 4 in the UK, at he tim not only a NEW chanel, but also something of an indie chanel.....

Were as Stingray was shown around mid day on BBC2, i'm sure most of you are familiar with the BBC.

Possibly this was latterday showings to their original conception, but as is how I recognise them from my initial viewing/youth.

I'd have to vote Amanda Pays as Theora Jones on MAX HEADROOM for hottest 80's TV Chick from the U.K. ---Then in the 90's I had this older woman fetish for Jennifer Saunders {that was the dippy/hippie "Mother" right?} of Absolutely Fabulous, I wanted to dig tunnels in her arse and grab her hair hard and be like. "YEAH.... YEAH... YEAH, THIS YANK IS CUMMIN' BITCH! fill up her choco starfish full of white froth and then started in on...

...uhh... ANYHOW I Vote "Amanda Pays" hottest 80's U.K. chick!
