In 1994, "Joe 90" was shown on BBC1. Rights holder PolyGram cleared the series for broadcast on the condition that the title sequence's "zooming" "Joe 90" logo be replaced with a static version to distinguish it from the logo for G.I. Joe toys. The video tapes used for broadcast were 16 mm transfers of the original 35 mm film and were edited for timing reasons: cold opens were moved so that all episodes began with the title sequence, while the end titles were shrunk to allow a CBBC presenter to read out viewer birthday cards. A simultaneous run on Nickelodeon presented the episodes in their original forms. In 2009, the series aired on the UK Sci Fi Channel alongside "Thunderbirds" and "Captain Scarlet".
