Reply with quote | #1 | I recently have been watching the A&E DVD release of Supercar and am experiencing many of this episodes for the first time. Supercar was never a favorite of mine as I found it to be very static and childish. Oddly enough I love Fireball Xl5 but Supercar just didn't do it for me. Watching it now, I really am finding an appeal to the series. Not only do I enjoy seeing the progression of the effects and puppet techniques, but the many of the stories are fun and entertaining.

Reply with quote | #2 | I agree! I had only ever seen bad VHS copies of a couple of episodes until the DVDs came out. I'm really amazed at some of the writing, acting and the level of some of the humor in the show.
Mitch for President!

Reply with quote | #3 | Yes I totally agree! I am also watching it for the first. Like most of the Supermarionation shows its all new to me again! Just a note if you watch Fireball Xl5 episode "A Day In the Life of a General" a mailman comes to Lt. Ninety's door, but if you look close thro the smoked window glass of the door the mailman looks like Mike Mercury! Gerry Anderson re-used old puppets through out all his series. Steve Zodiac was re-used in Stingray too!!! lol
Keep looking you'll find more! |

Yes, SuperCar is a lot of fun. I really like the design of the characters and vehicle of course. This is a show that I always wondered what it would look like in color. But the episodes are very entertaining. |

There are a few colorized clips on the Full Boost Vertical: The Supercar Story DVD, available from the website. They look great.
