Title: Thunderbirds are stop.
Post by: Tonker on December 26, 2012, 11:33:43 AM
Gerry Anderson (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/tvandradio/9766377/Gerry-Anderson-creator-of-Thunderbirds-dies.html), creator of Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet, Stingray, Space 1999 and many, many more slices of my childhood.  I don't know if any of this stuff made it to the States - "Team America" makes me think it probably did - but it was fucking great.
