@Gulftastic Best part of the theme is at :57 to 1:10. So flippin sweet with the strings and horns. Gets me everytime.

@Graffitti74 That's exactly right. I read about the history of the show, and it's pretty fascinating. I was 5 in '79, loved the show then, and also still love the theme song. It's epic.
Today, I love watching Condor Joe be such a violent, angry loner in the original :) I'm glad I saw this show in whatever version when I was a kid because it has influenced my drawing style and inspired me to be an animator.

@usmc7242 that the Phoenix man! Get wise...

@demoskunk They wanted to jump on the Star Wars craze and wanted their own "R2-D2". I was 5 yo in the 70's and enjoyed the show. Today I'm more a fan of the tv theme.

"FIVE INCREDIBLE YOUNG PEOPLE WITH SUPERPOWERS!!!" complete LIES. They didn't have any damn superpowers! Every time the programme came on I sat enraptured waiting for the superpowers to start and there never were any! Except for that totally effing lame spinning human pyramid thing they did. THAT was their superpower?! Feh. Well, they had super capes, at least. Nice spaceship, though. One of our pals Steven got called Steven Dork Steven.

I loved this show. Too bad the original was totally bastardized and ruined by Sandy Frank to fit lame American broadcast standards.
What was up with American studio execs' obsession with throwing in annoying, unfunny sidekicks like that fucking 7 Zark 7?!
Epic horn section.
