    For those that remember this campy cartoon series when it first came out and those younguns that know it from it's syndication and run on MTV.

    Looks fun to me.

    Go Speed Racer
    Go Speed Racer
    Go Speed Racer Go!!
    Go Speed Racer
    Go Speed Racer
    Go Speed Racer Go!!

    I still sing that song....

    I used to rush hime to watch that, Gigantor (which was originally a Japanese cartoon Testsujin - 28 which I discovered at Blovkbuster.. needless to say I was floored. Back then the main character's name was not Jimmy Sparks.) ... and Tobor (robot spelled backwards).. the 8th Man!!

    (Along with Captain Jack, Diver Dan, Officer Joe Bolton-and the 3 Stooges.. ahhh those were the days... Back when kids could be... kids... When I look at the world we live in and I say my prayers along with giving thanks for still having both my parents, my health, my dashing good looks...(Ok... thats subjective I'll grant you that... ), I am so gratefull that I had a childhood because so many kids today just don't get one... the real world is thrust upon them quick fast and in a hurry.... and it is sad really.

    Ah yes, good memories indeed. Gigantor and Marine Boy were two of my favorites after Speed Racer. I also used to love The Wacky Races.



    I even remember running home after school to watch one of my favorite non-cartoon shows, Dark Shadows...albeit with my hands over my eyes, as I peeked out now and then, scared to death! LOL!







    "Lost in Space" was always an afternoon favorite and I also remember watching the original "Star Trek", "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea" and "Land of the Giants" with my dad. He loved those Sci-Fi shows.






    The movie Mach V looks awesome!! I hope it follows some of the cartoon, but leaves out the over-emoting grunts and sweating that Trans-Lux saw fit to have in the cartoon.

    Also, the old Mach V's special steering wheel that could be spun 2,160 degrees in one direction.



    Mach V = 1,701.45 m / s
