Detective Jenny (Season 1) (Johnsonverse)

The first season of Detective Jenny premiered on June 4, 1994. As a new series, the budget was much lower than it is today, forcing the production staff to rely on stock footage from Gerry Anderson productions and older Johnson films. In fact, several episodes were outright adaptations of Thunderbirds episodes. This was also the only season to use cel animation (the movies notwithstanding), with the characters digitally superimposed over live-action backgrounds when possible; all later seasons switched to digital ink and paint.
