If you're a fan of Gerry Anderson shows like Thunderbirds and the anime show Gatchaman (seen in the States as 'Battle of the Planets') you might get a kick out of Choujin Sentai Jetman (鳥人戦隊ジェットマン, Chōjin Sentai Jettoman) which is an early 90s live action TV show from Japan. The title of the show 'Choujin Sentai Jetman' translates into English as 'Birdman Squadron Jetman'. Jetman was produced by Toei Company and Bandai from 1991 to 1992, yet it has a very 70s vibe to it.
Here's the opening title of the show:

I'm sure some people like it but that sure isn't old enough or new enough to be cooler than average. And if you want Gerry Anderson look at what the Takeda brothers were doing with puppets.

I was more admiring how silly the show looked rather than the quality. But I'll take your advice & do a story on the Takeda brothers...
