Gerry Anderson's UFO Should have been available in Toronto, back in the day.....
I watched both seasons, on the Calgary TV station. Always been a fan of this show.

This is great !
The scripts for the second coming of President D.J.Trump.
What miracles will be achieved before 2028 ?
World Peace, the return of Crimea to Ukraine,
Hamas destroyed and defeated.
a colossal asteroid deflected,
The primary front in the war on drugs in South America, the dictators absconding with their loot to Russia, China and North Korea.

I hated those Supermarionation puppets/marionettes as a kid. They totally creeped me out. I still can't bear to watch them.

I liked the Anderson's Supercar, then Fireball XL5, and then along came Stingray- that was my favorite; I could not get a model of the Stingray submarine- was very frustrated....somehow my father got a Stingray friction model from England...
Christmas morning I was playing with my gifts at 5-7 am. My father got up at 7 and came in the family room, "Merry Christmas, Eric...Did you get everything you wanted?" "Yes- but I didn't get the submarine!"
He picked me up and put me on his shoulders while saying "Lets go wish your mother Merry Christmas" and walking towards the hallway, passed under a giant ornament that my mother had hung from the ceiling- and hanging from it was that Stingray!!!!!!! (I am surprised I didn't hurt my father jumping after it....
By the time Thunderbirds came along, I had moved on- did watch a few, but I really just wanted a REAL Stingray submarine. In 2011, I found a metal model on Amazon, and bought it for $70...The next day was "Cyber Monday" with all the sales/special prices on Amazon.....I was showing a co-worker what I had bought on Amazon- and the price was now $126!!! So sometimes I guess it does NOT pay to buy on Cyber-Monday!

Lawrence of Arabia is one of my favorite movies of all time. I have to say, honestly... that there was something about movies from that time. I was barely born in the 70s, but I've seen a lot of the movies from the mid / late 1960s. It seems to me that the movies that had intermissions, were the ones that they put the most effort in. Movies like Lawrence of Arabia, or Grand Prix, were absolute masterpieces of film. Don't get me wrong, I love me a good Sci-Fi movie, but again... 2001 Space Odyssey... it just feels like they tried harder back then to make good movies than they do now. Those three movies I mentioned all came out at around the same time... they are just unbelievable pieces of film.
Shoot... The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, and the two movies that came before it... Fistfull of Cast, and A Handful More (or whatever it is)... they just don't make scenese like these anymore...
Even the music... from Ennio Mericone or whatever his name was... just so impressive.

Those spaghetti westerns were so cheesy... but yeah, they had a certain panache.
