I always thought of new shows Nick Jr's Wonder Pets to be very similiar to UFO.
You have the Hampster (Ed Straker), The Turtle (Col Freeman) and the Duck (Lt Ellis)
They live in a pre-school (SHADO under a film studio) and get distress calls on a tin can phone (SID). They have an involved "Put your uniform or flight helmet on" musical number like UFO and assemble their rescue craft which also has an elaborate musical launch sequence out through the pre-schools wall.

Select Wonder Pets from the menu (The picture of the Hampster) sit back and enjoy.
Not like UFO??? Maybe I just need some sleep! : - )
