What is this puppet TV show?

[Jizaboz]

Blitzed one night I was flipping through random channels and came across this weird Sci-Fi puppet show. I loved Stingray and other shows like this when I was younger.

Unfortunately I did not note wtf I was watching as I stared at it for nearly an hour before passing out. I did manage to take a screenshot though. Maybe I was trying to catch the channel info at the same time but failed.

All I got is.. it's sci-fi themed, I think it might be British-made but could be mistaken on that, and here is the image:



The female reminded me of Alis from Phantasy Star 1. WTF is this show? lol

Dude! Thank you for the late birthday present. This makes so much more sense now with the theme. I saw all of these elements that reminded me of Phantasy Star and Gundam. OF COURSE it was originally Japanese! Awesome. I will be watching this.. may even pay for a disc so long as the Japanese audio is intact. I thought it was cool even with Brits doing the audio but I'm already digging the original more.

I appreciate it man! I couldn't make any connections trying to figure it out.



And yes, I had a few people on other outlets throw out Thunderbirds and I was like "Naahhh that ain't it." JC crowd proves most reliable.

I'm happy to have spent 1.4 minutes searching this. I'm gonna find a way to download myself and watch. It's like Team America outright copied this shit. The new intelligence is knowing how to search.
