Space Patrol (a.k.a. "Planet Patrol" for U.S. release) was a
children's cartoon show with puppet marionettes. The concept
was an interplanetary organization of men and women from
Earth, Mars and Venus, patrolling the Solar System to maintain
the peace in the year 2100. What distinguished this series from
others of its ilk was the thought that went into it. The characters
had real personalities. The futuristic Headquarters City was well
done, with individual personal vehicles traveling thru transparent
tubes to be automatically guided to their final destination. The
spaceship wasn't the usual rocket ship, but something innovative:
a "Galasphere" that looked vaguely like a kid's gyroscope toy,
that made weird humming sounds as it sailed thru space. (Those
humming sounds became the theme song for the TV series.)

All 39 episodes on a 6 disc set in very nice quality.
