    Been rewatching some of these of late. Still not quite sure what to make of it!

  2. A very strange show. It's hard to take seriously but most of the episodes are played straight without any of the irony needed for parody. It seems like Anderson was intending for the show to be a parody of his earlier puppet shows, especially Thunderbirds.

    All the elements for parody were in place. The two lead characters even looked an awful lot like Martin Landau and Barbara Bain. If all the Kate Kestral songs (along with Stew Dapples) were removed, the whole thing might be easier to stomach!

    The effects were certainly well done. The FX crew seemed to be learning on the job. The early episodes have some terrible effects (especially the launch sequences) but the effects became more and more interesting and competent as the show went onwards.
