Force Five was the first anime, I used to love a lot. But, it came in year 1992 when cable television was introduced in India. It used to come on Star TV, which was an exclusive english channel. I used to watch force five along with crystal maze. Also, Giant Robot used to come in serial format called "Fun Time". similar to "Toonami" which is casted on cartoon network nowadays. Fun time used to come at 2 times in a day, 1 at 12.30 PM and second rerun at 6.30 PM. Giant Robot used to Air from 1985 till 1991.
Along with Star TV, I started seeing my first english series which was called "The Bold and the Beautiful". Within six month, WWF and Baywatch were also introduced. Cartoon Network debuted in year 1994, but at that time it was aired only during day time and at night, MGM Movies channel was aired in place. Scooby Doo, Jetson and Flintstones used to air like krazee.
I searched a lot on force five, but never found anything. Those, who are unknown to force five, it was a series of small robots which used to combine and become a mega robot. It had a total of five diff robots and hene the name force five.
Television had only quality serials till 1999, after which there is also a share of crap stuff.
