Wow! I'm amazed that none of the other reviews have mentioned the fact that this show is basically a kid-sized version of the old Gerry Anderson Supermarionation show "The Thunderbirds" from the mid 1960s. It's not even mentioned in the "Movie Connections" section for either show. Maybe this is because not all that many people saw "The Thunderbirds" when it first came out.
But that doesn't mean that there's anything wrong with this show. It's a great adaptation for kids. My daughter loves it, my wife enjoys it too, and I have fun comparing this show to what I remember from the 60s. If it seems a little simplistic, take the time to remember that this is meant for kids, and not people who've had 20+ years of experience in solving problems.
And maybe later on, when the kids who watched this discover DVDs of "The Thunderbirds, " they'll say, "Hey wait - this is just like the Save-Ums."
