dj4monie's rating
So far I have been able to get several videos.
The series got a full showing only in two markets -
The USA and UK
Once it made it to weekday morning TV, it was mostly shown on local stations like the one I watched it on while living in Simi Valley, CA. I got up every morning before school at 6am to watch this show. No wonder shows like this never got good ratings look what time they are on!
It was also shown on Showtime and Los Angele's early cable system Select/ON TV before it was on local TV.
There is limited information out there but most of it can be found searching on TV.com (formally TV Tome) and good Google search.
The videos end up on Ebay usually in PAL format which requires either being converted into the North American video standard (NTSC) or played on a PAL to NTSC VCR. I have had my videos transfered to DVD and I'm currently working on a complete and update site with a lot of information.
As for the series itself, some may find it boring. There isn't a lot of shooting/fighting and there really aren't any villains until "Starcrusher" enters the scene about half way through the series.
It seems they were forced to add a villain to the plot of the series. Most of the episodes are self-contained and there really isn't a cycle to follow, which allows the episodes to be shown in any order and still make sense.
The series is loosely based on Gerry Anderson's Thunderbird marionette series of the 60's which I believe can still be seen on G4 (aka Tech TV)
If not the videos of that series are very easy to find due to its popularity.
I recommend both series

I have always enjoyed watching this movie. The movie features a few actors that are still working today. This movie also feature before the "big hair days and makeup" of the rock band Vixen, who would later score some minor hits during the mid to late 80's Glam Hard Rock era.
