I believe UFO is the only one I have watched every episode of.

UFO got my vote, but I love all these shows.

"Space: 1999." As it happens, I watched some just last night. First video I've seen in a while.

Space: 1999 and UFO have two of the most memorable and catchy theme tunes ever devised.

Bannings: One too few . . .
And yet, strangely, the correct answer was Thunderbirds.

It's probably a contest between Thunderbirds and Captain Scarlet; those are the two that make the most extensive use of the Supermarionation concept. The live action shows only uses it for spaceships, etc. They really went for broke with Captain Scarlet but the tone was too adult. The world wasn't ready for it. I guess that's why the Thunderbirds became so huge; it was designed as an all-ages thing so it had a broader appeal. It also had incredibly catchy music and more flamboyant characters than Captain Scarlet (who was a member of something very much like International Rescue called Spectrum).
