Star Blazers (1979–1984)
7/10
Original concept, interestingish, but... why not fire the wave motion gun first?

I loved this show as a child, coming home from school and diving in front of the boob tube (when it still had a tube) and enjoying the adventures of the big eyed characters (speed racerlike) trying to save the world in the largest ship ever built... turned space ship.

In every single episode they battle and battle, and just before the ship is about to be destroyed somebody decides it's time to fire the ultimate weapon, the WAVE MOTION GUN (do listen to the Marcy Playground song sometime) and they win the day.

As an adult I just can't help but ask, why not fire the wave motion gun first, but I guess it would have made the show pretty short.

I just noticed there seems to be an actual live action version of this, which led me to this review. Fun for kids of all ages, albeit a little silly.
