I saw while reading the netnews that someone else remembers the old kid's
show "Fireball XL-5".  And all these years I thought I was crazy.  I recall
this as being a saturday morning kid show.  It was a space adventure that
used puppets as characters (something like "Davy and Golieth" but a little
better puppet wise).  Anyway, I only got to see this show 3 or 4 times when
I was ten.  I thought then that I was going to start watching it faithfully,
then it wasn't on anymore.  I don't remember any of the stories but I always
wonderd what happend to this show.  I dimly recall the theme song, at least
I remember liking it.  I think the first words were "I wish I were a spaceman"
or something like that.  Anyway, does anyone else know anymore details about
this show.
