  My Review on Supercar

I was but a kid when Supercar came out. I remember coming home from school and eating a snack while watching Supercar. However, I did not remember any of the story lines. In watching the entire series now, I must say it is very well put together. Attention to detail was carefully made with regards to the stage setting. I am now 54, and I have a greater appreciation for Supercar now than when I was a kid. I am too happy to have the entire series.

This DVD set brings back so many, many memories of being about 9 years ols in the early 60s, sitting infront of the TV every Saturday morning at 9:00 AM watching Supercar. Kind of makes me want to get down on my knees and play with the old models of Supercar that I still have. Absolutely love the DVD set and can not wait to show it to my Grandsons. On a scale of one to ten, I give it a solid fifteen.
Sincerly,

As a fan of Thunderbird's how could I not buy the other's - Joe 90/Secret Agent/Fireball XL5/Stingray! Terrahawk's I could do without, however. It's amazing, how after all this time, they still don't seem cheesey.

  Too basic for my liking.
Review created: 01/19/09

I certainly couldn't write of produce anything better. So who am I to complain? But as a Gerry Anderson fan. I'd like to voice my opinion to his early works. I know it was ground breaking stuff when it came out. But how does it stand the test of time, and can it be watched today? My opinion is no. I just think it's too primitive for it to be enjoyed. If I were you. I'd start my Gerry Anderson collection with his next series 'Fireball XL5' and go from there through 1969s 'Secret Service'. 1970s Gerry Anderson also don't appeal to me either. Thanks Gerry and Silvia for all you've done, but I'll stick with my mid to late 60s Gerry Anderson productions. These are the best childrens series ever written and produced in the entire history of television programming. Quite an honor. It's just 'Supercar', doesn't cut it for me.

I love Gerry Anderson's work, but this one I just couldn't get into. I bought it to add to my collection, but I wish I could send it back.

What can I say, but that I'm a person whom loves to remember a simpler time and the memories of these old shows taps into those memory banks of mine. These shows in all of their splendor warm my heart along with entertaining my grandkids made this purchase worth while. I will never get tired of watching and remebering! Thank you for producing these in DVD format.

  Supercar ---- Superseries
Review created: 09/06/08
by:

This is not a cartoon but puppet animation. I watched this as a kid and it was one of my favorites so I purchased it to watch again & again. You've got to get past the technology of the time period and the special effects of time period i.e. the strings used by the puppeteers. The series also has engineering and physics facts included in the dialog which is beyond kids and kind of educational. Once you get into the series, you watch it like they are real can live their adventure. Kind of emulates real life as puppets are holding/smoking cigars and cigarettes, shooting guns for protection (on occasion). So if you're a WUSS, goody two shoes don't watch this and then complain. This is Cool, great stuff, helping people and good versus evil. Nice concept!

  Supercar - The Complete Series, Just Like I Remember It
Review created: 03/10/08
by:

This is a program, I grew up with. The dream as a young boy, of having a flying car, like Supercar, made this show, top of my, "Have to Watch" program list. This is a must have, for any Supercar enthusiast. The collection includes every show ever broadcast, and you can watch from the first episode of Supercar to the last. This was Gerry Andersons first big series hit, with the wonderful Supermarionation making the puppets almost come alive for all the children who watched. I didn't care if I saw the strings or not, this was just too cool! I vividly remember more and more details, as I went through the episodes, bring a smile to my face with each one. The complete DVD set includes, commentaries, a featurette, color production stills, and interactive menus. If you watched Supercar, as I did, or would just like to see one of the early successes of Gerry Anderson for yourself, you owe it to yourself to grab the set. Get the popcorn ready, grab the family and enjoy!

  Supercar-The Complete Series (2003, DVD)
Review created: 02/12/08

What makes this dvd amazing is how a handful of puppets, filmed in black and white can hold the interest of adults watching. Baby boomers loved watching Mike Mercury at the helm of Supercar while the always getting in trouble "Mitch" the monkey managed to get a smile or two from the crowd. Good entertainment. Worth buying.

  Re-living a positive boyhood experience ...
Review created: 03/03/07

~Supercar~
* As a boy of 10 growing up in midwest USA, "Supercar" essentially entralled me at the time. There was always a tidbit or two scientifically to learn about during each & every episode, the characters were various & altruistic, Mitch's shenanigans usually entertaining &, above all, there was mighty Supercar itself. There were never any reruns in central Indiana after they first played, "Fireball XL5" being the next of the early supermarionation series to run. This series of Supercar, all episodes, have been painstakenly restored & digitalized. While the series was originally black & white videos, the clarity of these restored shows are incredibly fine on these DVDs & it is a joy to have experienced the original series of many to come from Mr. Gerry Anderson. Thank you Gerry! Though now 53 years young :-) it is a treat to have viewed them again.
* Nearly 10 years ago, while laid up in a state veterans home while recovering from a life-threatening illness, had attempted to describe Supercar to some fellow vets & ended up drawing a picture of her. The drawing has proved to be quite accurate, illustrating how burnished-onto-my-noodle the image of "The Marvel Of The Age" had remained. If you ever got to see this rarely-seen original series by Gerry Anderson then you will likely enjoy them again all these years later. Am pleased they were purchased & would do it again.

Review created: 12/06/06

Gerry Anderson's own first marionette show. A&E did a great job remastering these for DVD. Transfers are clean and vivd, nicer than some newer shows I have seen on DVD. Guess the original films were well stored. Easy menus, with great picture and sound from this classic from the fifties. Nice box set. Don't have anything bad to say about it. Wanted this for many years. Great price on ebay.

  Supercar- The Complete Series
Review created: 06/12/06(updated 12/09/08)
by:

Supercar is a supermarionation series about a car that was years ahead of it's time. The main character of the series is a car that is able to race on land, through the sky, or under the sea. They called it "the marvel of the age." The series ran in the 1960's.
This series was not greatly popular because it only ran for 39 episodes, and it was the first of it's kind. It was later followed by more popular shows, such as "Thunderbirds" and "Stingray." This series is actually so little known that my brother and I were starting to think my father was crazy! He kept telling us and other people about the show and asking them if they have heard of it. This went on for a couple years, and we could not find anyone who had seen it or heard of it, so we just assumed that it was a figment of his imagination, until we found it on ebay. I purchased the DVD set for him from ebay. We can't tease him about it anymore, but he is going to be so excited about getting it that it is worth being wrong.
The DVD set itself is excellent, especially for someone who remembers it from their childhood. It contains every episode made in the order they were originally broadcast. It is digitally remastered, and contains a commentary, a special featurette, and a colored picture gallery. This DVD set contains almost 17 hours, plus the extras, of childhood memories for any father or grandfather that remembers this series.
