These shows ran weekday afternoons on Channel 44 in Northern Illinois, (This eventually became TBS, I believe) as part of the channel 44 fun bunch or something to that effect. The show I remember most clearly was a Japanese show about a family of robotic rockets. The father was a gold rocket and the mother was a silver rocket, the kid was silver as well I think. This was long before Transformers or Power Ranger days, I want to say 1975 or 1976, but it had the same kind of hokey feel to it. The other show was along the lines of rocket man, but a Japanese version.

Channel 44 was great as a kid. Godzilla movies all the time, creature feature on Saturday afternoon, and Georgia Championship wrestling on Sunday...What more does a five year old need?

Kenji Wrote:I'm not sure, but your mentioned "father was gold rocket".....maybe, it's Magma Taishi(Ambassador Magma).


This is it?

Sam Wrote:WOW!!! Space Giants!! I thought I was the only person who remembered that show. I can still hear that whistle in my head. MAKE IT STOP!!!

BTW the other show you mentioned may be my favorite at that time - Spectreman.

Bluesman Mike Lindner Wrote:One of my favorite shows of the 60s was THE INVADERS, starring Roy Thinnes as David Vincent. "The Invaders...alien beings from a dying planet. Their destination...the Earth. Their purpose...to make it =their=world. David Vincent has seem them. For him it began one lost night on a lonely country road, looking for a shortcut that he never found. It began with a closed, deserted diner...and a man too long without sleep to continue his journey. It began with the landing of a craft from another galaxy. David Vincent knows the Invaders are here. Now he must convince a disbelieving world that the nightmare has already begun." Anybody remember it?

Sam Wrote:For some odd reason, which is normal for my brain, another show popped into my head while I read your post - The Greatest American Hero. I loved that show but can barely remember it.
