I loved that show!

But, I would sometimes get scared when I was very young when they show a first person view racing across the water.

I know silly...

That is simply Fabulous!

Oh, is THAT what it meant!  We thought "FAB" meant "Four Astronaut Brothers", considering four of the five

Does that mean the Beatles were the "Four Astronaut Brothers Four"???

I loved that show, my favorite episode was when they went to Loch Ness and the monster was racing along in the water grabbing speeding cars off the nearby road with it's mouth.

Oh, is THAT what it meant!  We thought "FAB" meant "Four Astronaut Brothers", considering four of the five brothers did the flying.

Well thanks for the response!  We've been wondering about this for almost fifty years, although I'll have to tell Lady Firestorm later.  She's watching "Doctor Who" right now and is NOT to be disturbed!

According to Gerry Anderson, it was a meaningless acronym based on the popular slang term "Fab".

Listen everybody, Lady Firestorm and I have watched the "Thunderbirds"  since the Sixties.  Does anyone know, I mean REALLY know, what "FAB" means?

"SIG" from "Captain Scarlet" was easy to figure out.  "Spectrum Is Green."

F.A.B.!

Well, when one is given a barrel ramp car without barrels, one simply has to make do...
