"Thunderbirds" was created by Gerry Anderson, the man famous for his "Supermarionation" animation technique featuring marionettes, in 1965.

But unbeknownst to the world, his five sons were pilots of superb rescue vehicles, and were part of the rescue team International Rescue.

I remember this show when it aired briefly on the Fox Kids Club back in the day. Loved the vehicles, but thought the scripting and acting needed work. All in all not a bad show.

Man, those puppets were so retarded looking. especially "Brains". I think they called him that because his head was large enough to house at least 17 regular sized brains.
