I remember that it was broadcast when I couldn´t even read, but when I heard the music I would leave all the toys and come running to the living room screaming completely euphoric "It's MinóMinó!!!", Space 1999 in portuguese is an hard expression for a 3 years old kid to say...Espaço Mil Novecentos e Noventa e Nove... Never forgot it and when the internet arrived one of the first things I went looking for was the theme...How I love that groovy theme... And those Eagles... And Maya... And those freakin-something-like-algae monsters... It brings some very good memories... Here goes... The opening sequence And a very looong wikipedia article... -------------------- "Ride, boldly ride," The shade replied, "If you seek for Eldorado!" Edgar Alan Poe
