Joe 90 ======
This really took me back, Joe 90 the kid super spy with amazing powers and those 'Michael Caine' glasses. Included here are all 30 episodes. Puppetry at its best. Professor Ian McClaine has invented a brain enhancer. It takes the form of a chair which the operative sits in and then he has whatever special information imprinted onto his brain.

Advantages: Very well presented boxset, would suit a collector Disadvantages: repetitive title sequences and menu's on each dvd
...Most people remember Joe 90 the 9 year "most special agent" for the agency W.I.N., and most of all, his glasses which give him the brain pattern of any expert to assist him in his highly dangerous missions.
I would reccommend this DVD to any children and parents alike.

Hope you have found this helpful and i look forward to reading your comments.
Thank you very much for reading. ...
