    Bet they cut some of the scenes - get the DVDs (if they have them) and you'll notice the difference

    I liked a lot of those as well. I can't say that I liked Shazam all that much. Even as a kid I thought the show was to far on the cheesy side of things. not to mention the horrible fx for flying that they did for Captain Marvel. I remember for a while they had the Isis and Shazam hour on Saturday mornings too. Isis seemed to follow the same type of format that Shazam did and also had the same cheesy fx.

    Buck Rogers was pretty cool. I didn't care for the second season as much though. They didn't do as many space fights and stuff. Plus they didn't have that princess lady on anymore.

    I sometimes enjoyed shows like Different Strokes too.

    One of the very first books I ever remember reading was a "Rocky and Bullwinkle" book. It was something about hiding money in a mattress, and of course Natasha and Boris were involved.

    Many years later there was a girl in our unit named Natasha.
    I found her attractive, and would be all in it if given the chance!

    Her boyfriend (I think they got married) was a really nice kid and I hope things work out for them.

    She's on a sex tape where she...oops, this isn't the Red Room.

    Roughly in the order in which they appeared on Brit TV...
    Fireball XL5
    Dr Who
    Stingray
    Lost in Space
    Thunderbirds
    Captain Scarlet (my favourite Gerry Anderson)
    Star Trek (my all time favourite)
    Ace of Wands
    The Tomorrow People
    (OK, I was more of an adolescent for the last two, and had crushes on the leading actors, but still)

    Other Gerry Anderson's I watched as a kid were Supercar and Joe 90, but I was never so keen on them. Hell, even a total geek like me got to beat up the real Joe 90s... ;)

    After the pilot, the show was okay - so-so really.
    But the second season, after Freddie got his paws on it, it just plain HURT
