[AllaN01Bear]

was a puppet show . in it these 3 guys were perfecting a multicraft in the nevada desert.(sub, airplane , space craft.) never did see it drive on land. first epi they rescue a kid , his bro(who was a astronaut) and a annoying chimp called mitch. mitch got into all kinds of mischief and nearly cost two characters their lives in a runnawy ballon.i remember a epi where mitch the chimp met people of his own kind and left on his own. been trying to find that particular episode.

featuring mike mercury and so on.

1. I certainly remember it

Do you remember Fireball XL 5?, and Thunderbirds?
They were in the same vein, and just as good. Well at least when I was a kid.

Here's a link to the premiere episode.

I believe that Shout Factory may have the rights to the series. Maybe you can find it on DVD.

Didn't they have an episode where he and his horse pal go through a ?mirror and end up in some surreal version of their home place?

Somewhere between Rare, and Occasionally the
"Supercar" theme would pop up in my conciouness! 😄

The only lyrics I remember was "Supercar"...but I remembered the melody part (w/o the words) after the chorus

This has been going for a fairly long time. But I never heard anyone mention it - till you right now! 👍

OTOH - I've never heard of the other two similar shows!

Ty! 😄👍

11. "It travels on land, it travels on sea...

...it can journey anywhere."

Supercar...
Supercar...
Supercar!

That's asuch of the lyrics as I remember. But it's been almost sixty years.

[electric_blue68]

12. I didn't even remember the "it travels on _______ .... " etc...

Though I remembered the music for that part! 😄

All I remembered as lyrics was the three repeated "Supercar" chorus. 😂

I am thrilled someone remembered it! It's not
that I doubted my memory, but I've never seen it mentioned by anyone till this OP thread.

9. I remember it well.

They called this type of puppetry Supermarionation. Another show that did this was Fireball XL-5.

14. "It crashes on land, and sinks in the sea....

"Next thing you know, it's stuck in a tree. Stupid car..........." Yes I remember it--vivid memories of my brother and I singing this parody version of the theme song.

15. Stingray, Thunderbirds, Fireball XL5

I also watched the live action UFO but just to see the chicks in the purple wigs.
