Im talking about the old 1963 version, where all the cartoon were done with puppets and i dont know with what else...

i was watching Boomerang and saw one episode: conclusion - the creaters really put their effort into it...

superb...

might as well mention the new movie from the creaters of South Park: Team America (?)

I liked the old ones . . saw some episodes again recently, brought up memories . . so it may not be the greatest show in the world, but watching the puppets move around is still pretty cool.

What's Boomerang? How does it relate to Thunderbirds? Anyways, there's already a topic for Team America somewhere here . .

0.0 Boomerang... Cartoon Network? you know, Boomerang is a deviation from Cartoon Network which runs old cartoons (really old)

Thunderbirds is wicked. Watching it thesedays you can really tell how much work and effort they did put into making that show.

I love it.

Was my childhood TV show. ^_^

"Boomerang" is Cartoon Network's premium "nostalga" channel where they show all of Hanna-Barbera's "Classic" '60s Saturday Morning cartoons. (i.e. "Space Ghost", "The Herculoids", "Frankenstein Jr.", "The Impossibles"...) The list goes on and on and I'm old enough to have seen quite a few of them... B)

Whadaya mean no Cartoon Network in Canada?!!! Aaahhhhh

Im still in wonder about some of the effect they created: in one episode we see a plane taking off. Obviously its a model, but man, we see the flames from the engine, the fumes, the dust that it kicks up... Wow!!!

Yeah, Derek Meddings was quite the SFX wiz in his day.
