manbird3 Review of Fireball XL5

Fireball XL5 (1962–1963)

I have always loved science fiction, and I remember loving this show.

[19 December 1999]

I was very young when I saw this show, but I still remember the special effects, especially the opening sequence of the rocket speeding down that track and the changes in the engine sounds just before it took off from the track into the air. The marionettes, especially the robot and his electronic voice. And I remember being very moved by a story involving a mermaid. The ending was sad. I would love to get this series on video. is it available?
