Pretty funny, although those shows are self-parodies already. I'm not sure if dd_b was there at the time, but I remember about 25 years ago the Uptown showed "Thunderbird 6." An important plot element is a gigantic airship on its maiden voyage with a full crew and a load of dignitaries, and due to sabotage it goes off course and gets caught in the tension lines at an equally gigantic power plant. Much concern ensues.

We then get several minutes of cutting back and forth between International Rescue and shots of the airship, teetering more dangerously. This seems to run endlessly, and after a while I just lost it and shouted, "Oh, the puppetry!"

I managed to escape the theater with my life.

You understand that that was a particularly delicate rescue. Imagine what would have happened if any of the puppets' strings had become entangled in the high-tension power lines....
