DVD Reviews of Joe 90 - The Complete Series
DVD Review: Fun series; another gem in Gerry Anderson's supermarionation crown
Summary: 4 Stars
Although not as bleak as "Captain Scarlet" that proceeded it, "Joe 90" was yet another triumph for Anderson & Company with an outrageous but entertaining plot--a young boy can be transformed in mind and spirit into a super, secret agent via "Big Rat" a laboratory device of his brilliant scientist-father against evil rogue agents who threaten the UK and the free world.
Taking what worked from "Captain Scarlet"--the more anatomically correct and proportioned puppets on incredibly detailed minature sets--and refining it even more, Anderson again delivered an enjoyable half-hour program intended for children, but seems to delight all of us Gen X'ers who were probably too young to truly appreciate Anderson's genius and who are not afraid to indulge in a little childhood nostalgia.
Where as the content of "Captain Scarlet" was never lighthearted and terribly violent for children's Saturday morning fare(the Mysterons inhabiting the dead bodies of Spectrum agents and unknowing ordinary citizens), each half hour of "Joe 90" usually ended on a happy note with the bespectacled Joe thwarting yet another hostile takeover of Anderson's supermarionation universe.
The puppets in this series demonstrate a further margin of refinement from "Captain Scarlet" but not by much--that artistry would reach its ultimate apogee with Anderson's "Secret Service," technically a superior series and light years from the earlier and more crude puppets seen in "Supercar" and "Stingray," but alas, the series never really found its audience and was cancelled after 13 episodes.
In this set, the transfers are remarkably good, but there are little or none in the way of outstanding extras to speak of that most collectors demand with their multi-volume dvd editions.
