sixty years ago today .. October 28, 1962 .. Fireball XL5 premiered its first....

I love Fireball XL5! Except for that dumb alien beastie, Zoonie. But everything else is so cool. Weird alien crooks, rugged hero, a lovely lady doctor, sparking spaceships... What's not to love? Just Zoonie, that's what.

I have my eye on the book, though I have a lot of the strips in other reprint books. The new adventure included is enough to get me to buy it. I have the record already, and a colorized episde, from buying the big Blu-ray collector's set of the show from Network. I also actually have the original Little Golden Book and the one US comic book that was done back in the day!

I don't mind Zoonie quite as much as you do, Randall .. but I'll agree he's basically the 'Scrappy Doo' of the show.

Speaking of the Fireball XL5 Little Golden Book .. this 'motion comics' version of it was also released as part of yesterday's festivities:

I now have that theme tune stuck in my head!

Silva Screen Records released a very nice Fireball XL5 soundtrack album, last year.

During the past few years, SSR has done similar treatments for SuperCar, Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet, U.F.O., Space: 1999 and The Secret Service .. with Stingray slated for release, next month!

The "Stand By For Action!" concert (that I'd posted in this thread back in February) was also released by SSR on CD, vinyl & streaming, just this week.

It's a good time to be a Barry Gray / Gerry Anderson fan.

[Randall]

Too good! Not enough money to collect everything, but those albums look pretty cool. I may pick up a CD or Blu-ray of that concert.

Happy Halloween!

[Daniel]

Happy Halloween to you, too! Hope you all have a mashing good time however you celebrate!



Really more of a Valentine song, though.

[ShyViolet]

Thanks you guys!



(Couldn’t find that Simpsons clip unfortunately lol! )

[Daniel]

I knew-knew-knew you would try and find it.

[ShyViolet]

Lol yeah.

Christmas adverts begin:



Very sweet. Has a bunch of Disney Easter eggs!

[Ben]

I mean, I love me my Disney, but that was too much for even me…!

And Crimbo already? Noooooo! Give us another couple of weeks at least!

[Daniel]

I think they overdid it on the references because it's the final "From Our Family to Yours". The first two didn't have nearly as much!

[ShyViolet]

This is the same AR type presentation as the Bruce Lee one, but I still thought it was pretty cool.
