    Don't Expect too much!

    Well, I think I too have been a victim of the nostalgic tv trip! This is not how I remembered this great(in my mind!) series. The stories are terribly predictable and the acting is nothing more than hackneyed and tired. This is a once great series brought to its knees by nostalgic tv viewers like myself attemting to resurrect its once loved but now over fatigued old bones in the 21st century. My advice is to leave it buried and undisturbed!
