Before Star Trek, before Speed Racer - there was "Fireball XL5." Supermarionnation saves the Earth! "Its crew, the ever brave & dashing Colonel Steve Zodiac, his co-pilot, the easily angered Robert the Robot, ship's doctor, the ravishing Venus, and navigator, the visually-challenged Professor Mattew Matic, managed to get themselves and Earth out of trouble week after week. The stories are often very formulated, but for a 5 year old, they were great, and still aren't too bad today!." http://my-scifi-stuff.com/fireballxl5/ http://www.angelfire.com/pa2/trekker/fireball.html I Can Still Sing The Chorus Maru __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
