When I was 5 I was not thinking about morals or anything like that. I just though Super-Heroes were cool.

My top five:

1. Batman
2. Land of the Lost
3. Power Rangers
4. X-Men
5. Pokémon (though admittedly it did come a bit later that the others)

Honorable mention goes to Street Sharks, Cowboys of Moo Mesa, and I cannot get away without mentioning Little Bear.

Of the ones you mentioned three of them were well before my time, and I do not even know if they ever even came to the US. By the time Fillmore! started running I had switched over to shows like Teen Titans, Code Lyoko, and Dragon Ball Z. And by the time Sarah Jane Adventures had come to the US I was no longer watching children's programming. But to each their own.

... uh, hang on a second.

I thought so: it was mentioned in the first episode that he was with Jeff when their plane went down. My assumption is a triumphant return at the end of a series - not necessarily this one, though, we'd need to look a bit more at the Hood-Kayo dynamic first.

I miss Penelope's teapot more than I miss her hat. :( 'International Rescue; Lady Penelope speaking.' Noooo idea where the dog came from (or why Fab 1 can fly - they can't really have gotten that from the movie, can they?).

My favourite accidental moment so far: every time TB1 launches, we see the deckchairs being blown across the patio. Kaitlyn and I joked that Grandma must come out and put them back again - riiiight up until the episode where we actually saw that happen. ^_^ It was good stuff.

(Weirdly, I think Thunderbird Extraneous has only been shown in flight... once? And that was only a brief shot before Tinkay joined Alan on TB3. So why did they put it in? What's it supposed to do that's different? Eh, who knows.)

Poor old 'banished to the space station' John has been one of the best parts of the new series. He has personality! He has a role! He has awesome if slightly dodgy physics!

I wasn't expecting it to be very good, and I was pleasantly surprised. There's a few things I don't like (voices for Tintin/'Kayo', the Hood, and Penelope; the fact that they only seem to have like two bit-part voice actors; Lady Penelope is a Sim), but overall, it's good fun.

And it's nice to see Scott is still useless and doesn't even realise it. ^_^

As in, THIS BAD. Which I had managed to forget.

I blame you for making me remember it, elf boy. I blame you. =]
