\"Gerry<\/a> OXFORDSHIRE, ENGLAND–Gerry Anderson, creator of the Supermarionation process behind such hit TV series as “Fireball XL5,” “Thunderbirds” and “Stingray,” died in his sleep at a nursing home here Wednesday, Dec. 26. He was 83 and had suffered from dementia for several years.
\nMSTies will recall that the first two full-length MST3k episodes in the KTMA era were “Invaders from the Deep,” a movie edited together from episodes from “Stingray,” and “Revenge of the Mysterions,” a movie version of episodes from another Anderson series, “Captain Scarlet.” (No fan copies of those episodes exist.)
\nAnderson was also the producer of the TV series “Space: 1999,” two episodes of which were incorporated into K10- COSMIC PRINCESS. And, of course, Best Brains named the two “mole people” who worked for the Mads Gerry and Sylvia, in honor of Anderson and his wife.<\/p>\n
