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

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.

I remember seeing this on the Fox Kids Club. I love the vehicles and characters but it's only the acting and script that need work. All in all not a bad show.
