In the [[Philippines]], reruns of the show were broadcast on [[GMA Network]] in the early 1990s, [[ZOE TV]] in 2000s, and on [[ABS-CBN]] in 2015. The episodes are currently broadcast on [[Pop Life TV]] via digital free-to-air television [[BEAM TV]]. It was also broadcast on the Australian Christian Channel in Australia. It also aired on TBN UK & Ireland in United Kingdom and Ireland.

==Plot==
The series begins at the middle of a game of [[hide and seek]], as a young boy named Justin Casey (Gen Adachi) finishes counting and begins searching for his friends, Angela "Angie" Roberts and her little brother Corwyn "Corky" Roberts (Kanna and Tsukubo Natsuyama). As he searches for Angie and Corky in a wooded area, a thunderstorm occurs. Justin manages to sneak up on the two before the rain starts pouring, forcing them to run for cover. 

They eventually find a spacecraft type house in the wooded area, previously unseen according to Justin. At first glance it appears that nobody is home, until they discover a clown-battery type android named Solar Ion Robot (Kadenchin), or S.I.R. for short. They soon meet the owner of the house, Professor Humphrey Bumble (Dr. Tokio Taimu), who introduces the children to his greatest creation, a half rocket, half house one of a kind [[time travel|time machine]] named The Flying House. 

Professor Bumble's attempt at recreating [[Benjamin Franklin]]'s famous lightning experiment with the use of a bat looking kite flying outside the house to get the machine working leads to a temporary change in S.I.R.'s personality from being nice to mean and he goes berserk, before sending The Flying House in course to the past. 

Justin, Angie, Corky, and S.I.R. realize how long the journey back home will take due to Professor Bumble's misguidance and errors in time travel, but in the meantime they witness and participate (with little or no consequences) in numerous events of the Bible's [[New Testament]], from the birth of [[John the Baptist]] to the rise of the [[Paul the Apostle]].

Eventually, they make it home exactly the same way they traveled into the past in the first place. S.I.R. gets a knock in the head which, again, makes him go from being nice to mean and go berserk and he attacks The Flying House. Ironically, S.I.R.'s berserkiness fixes it in such a way that it finally sends the whole crew back to their own time period, and the show ends, with S.I.R. changed back from being mean to nice by the end of the trip.
