The original Captain Scarlet series was an okay, although I found it 
tended to be a bit too strange. Joe 90 was a bit boring (although I've 
never rewatched, so only saw it as a little kid) as were the older 
Gerry Anderson shows. Stingray was a bit better, although also had some 
strange episodes. Thunderbirds was always my favourite of Gerry 
Anderson's shows. Supercar wasn't bad either.

There was a planned Thunderbirds resurrection to be released in 2005 of 
the original Thunderbirds using puppets and models, but only a trailer 
was made <https://youtu.be/pTiy9begunM>. The computer animation series 
"Thunderbirds Are Go" was made instead - being made by a New Zealand 
animation company probably partly explains why it wasn't very good.

There is also Firestorm, which was a new Gerry Anderson puppet and 
models series which looked quite good, but only a couple of minisodes 
were made before it seemed to stop.
