I found it! From the 1st grade era(1962). Gerry Anderson's Fireball XL5. He also did Captain Scarlett and Thunderbirds. Down the YouTube rabbit hole.

I'm sorry in advance.....
As a child, I hated those shows, can't say I have changed much.
....Mrs. Farr will probably be disappointed in her #2 son.....again.

I put it in the same category as clown shows. Kind of spooky.

I remember every year of my early Elementary School days a Marionette troupe would put on a live show in the school gymnasium. Remember getting so engrossed that when the show ended I was mildly freaked out by how big real humans had suddenly become. Funny what one remembers from childhood.

Is it just me or do the front man and right lady look like Donald Jr and KellyAnn Conway?
Man, I gotta quit watching so much CNN.

I was in the army overseas in those days and so was spared having to watch those shows.
When I got home there was Peabodies improbable history. I liked that one, and about a years or so later, Star trek began. Star Trek was pretty good in spite of Kirks hammy overacting. I note that now everyone carries a working version of his communicator, and cat scans are not very far from the diagnostic capabilities of those aboard the Enterprise.

Fireball XL5 was my very favorite, I can still here the theme song. And the robot's voice...and Venus!

I remember the pilot episode of Bronson. I think that is where that particular scene came from.
He had a really amazing sportster. It could morph into a sprint or even a two stroke dirt bike on a moments notice
for a jump scene, then morph back into a sportster a couple of seconds after it landed simply by panning the camera up to his face and back down to the bike.
I think it was the inspiration for transformers.

Thunderbird 2 and 4 were very cool, now very expensive it seems.

No mention of the undersea action/adventure series; "Stingray." How could you forget that sexy Aqua Maria? 😳

Oh, I remember Aqua Marina, but I still think "my Venus of the stars" is better.
I must be mad, I remember the theme to that too, as well as Supercar. At least one baby stroller gave up its wheels for my own Supercar.

Whoa Hey Now! Bronson on a Chick Bike? :popcorn:

They played the full-length film "Thunderbirds are Go!" on one of the oldies TV channels last week. I had to watch. While the shows filmed in world-famous "Super-Marionation!" were fun, my favorite Gerry and Sylvia Anderson show was UFO - dig those crazy anti-static wigs the girls on the space station had to wear, not to mention their jumpsuits!

Space: 1999 was pretty good, but it took itself too seriously - the loss of camp led to a morass of overly-dramatized scenes.
