Today, Pink Tentacle posted about Osamu Tezuka’s “Galaxy Boy Troop,” a 92-episode children’s space opera that aired on NHK from 1963 to 1965.

Here’s a clip:

“Galaxy Boy Troop is perhaps unique in the history of children’s television programming inasmuch as it combined marionettes and animation. All of the characters were represented by puppets when not shown traveling in vehicles, whereas other scenes in which the characters are shown to be flying or driving were animated. Two series were produced, both in black and white. In the first, Galaxy Boy Troop is formed to travel an enormous distance to recover a substance which can restore Earth’s dying sun. In the second series Galaxy Boy Troop battles aliens in a flying saucer. A total of 92 episodes were produced; 44 in the first series and 48 in the second. The series also aired in France where it was known both as Galaxy boy troupe and Le Commando De La Voie Lactee. The original Japanese masters and films are believed to have been lost, and the very few examples of the series which have appeared on DVD have been taken from French sources. In 1997 Japanese astronaut Takao Doi requested the show’s theme be used as his wakeup call during his mission on the space shuttle Columbia.” [wiki]

Hulu does not offer free TV to Canadians because of the CRTC . Now if you live in the US you can watch free TV on HULU. After 18 weeks of private beta testing HULU launched its free TV service on the web today at 1:46 Pacific Time. The service offers full-length episodes of NBC and FOX television programs, including shows from the Bravo, Fuel TV, FX, Sci Fi, Style, Sundance, and Oxygen channels. Hulu also offers selected movies.

“At launch, Hulu will offer full-length episodes of more than 250 TV series from current hits such as “The Simpsons” as well as older shows like “Buffy the Vampire Slayer.” It also will offer 100 movies including “The Big Lebowski” and “Mulholland Drive.” [reuter]

You can watch further developments on the Hulu Blog.

The W-Lister Blog sez, ” What I’m worried about, though, is not being to enjoy Hulu.com in Canada. Here we’re unable to legally purchase television shows and movies online through means such as iTunes. We can’t even watch the sponsored stuff offered for free as is done by ABC. ”
