I saw this show when i was like 6. Blew my mind to the point i was occasionally thinking about it just to avoid forgetting it. I couldn't find it but finally here it is 🤯

You do have a Harmony Angel.

Thunderbird 2 is everyone's favorite. 😊

*vrvrvrvrvrvwwhhssshshshshshshhhhh* AP Film's "Flight Commander", puppeteer Peter Wragg, flying Thunderbird 2.

If no Thunderbirds, then no Team America World Police

I watch this on Tubi, still one of the great dramatic series. Watched in the ‘70s and named my daughter Penelope! FAB!

Watching this show on DVD as a kid growing up was such a core memory for me. Still wanna get that recent Corgi model of Thunderbird 2 - that one’s always been my favourite.

Currently available for free (with ads) on YouTube. At least in the US it is.

Fun fact: my earliest memory is a sequence from a Thunderbirds episode

Part of why I love Thunderbirds is the core premise is different from (almost) every other action show. Everything else is (good) group A fights (evil) group B. Thunderbirds just save people. And it's awesome.

F A B!

Loved watching the repeats as a kid in the 80s. Stingray, too, although it was a bit weird.

Thunderbirds are still a go & fun to watch to this day! Also, watched the live action TV series, UFO. It first aired this month in 1970. Lasting 1 season, its "assets" shifted to Space 1999 which also aired this month but in 1975. The sci-fi bug has been with me a very long time I'm happy to say.

Sad I can't find the glorious TEN MINUTE launch opening of the THUNDERBIRDS ARE GO movie online. It makes the STAR TREK THE MOTION PICTURE 5 minute Enterprise tour (my fave part of TMP. 🚀👍🖖) look like a walk in the park: youtu.be/x8PR3QIwXHs?...

I had the island as a kid 😁 Man.. childhood memories

If you are of a certain age, you might remember asking Santa for your very own Thunderbirds Tracy Island playset, only to be told Carlton Intl. couldn't meet demand. Anthea Turner to the (International) Rescue - in 1993, she showed how to make one of your own. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZM_i...

I have to write about it.

Thunderbirds, like Star Trek & Doctor Who, have become cultural linch-pins ... so it should come as no surprise to find clever parodies like this (and do watch all the way to the end to get *every* joke): www.youtube.com/watch?v=tiD8...
