Yeah, I had one too.  Also, remember "Thunderbirds" here.  I actually
have the complete set of DVDs for that series, along with "UFO" and
"Jonny Quest."  (Yes, that's my "dirty laundry" here, a guilty
pleasure that I sometimes get ribbed about by my kids.

Although not SF, "Jonny Quest" was also a pioneer of sorts.  They did
all sorts of stuff that really broke the mold in terms of animation.
If you get hold of the DVD set, look at the extras on the 4th DVD --
some interesting stuff there.  (They also include the "PF Flyers"
commercial -- does anyone remember THAT? :) )
