That's one of the thing's that's fun about doing this; different people's historical perspectives!

If I'...When I was twelve, I thought it was cool. If I'd stopped to think about it, I might have questioned some of the stuff. Like, S.H.A.D.O. was supposed to be a super-secret organization, but its tracked vehicles were marked with the agency's name on them. And the interceptors apparently each carried only one missile. Never mind the purple wigs. That's just a Sylvia Anderson thing. They probably thought it looked futuristic and science fictional. Besides, I didn't notice it back then; I thought they were just brunettes, because I watched it in B&W. Our family didn't get a color TV until a few years later.<br /><br />I was a fan of Gerry Anderson's marionette shows (Supercar, Fireball XL5, Stingray, and Captain Scarlet) in the sixties, when I was a preteen. (None of our local TV stations carried Thunderbirds at the time, although I did see it when it was rerun on Fox or WB in the 1990's.) I've heard that Anderson was always embarrassed by his association with kids' shows. Maybe that's why UFO got so grim and dark at times. That is, Anderson was consciously trying to appeal to adults. For that matter, IIRC, even Captain Scarlet was darker and more violent than the previous puppet shows.TChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13686814973788356726noreply@blogger.com
