This board is more active than some currently airing TV shows, lol


Does it hold up? I have never seen it.

I rewatched it the recently - I still think it's great and has aged better than the TV series.

reply

You mean that the movie has aged better?

reply

I think it has. I loved the TV series when it was first on but as you've noted below very few, if any, survive the test of time.

I would say that it is badly dated. If you are used to shows made from the 1980's on up you are not going to like the production values of older shows. The characters and plots tend to be very simplistic in comparison. If you did not grow up during the Vietnam War era or slightly before it may be very difficult to fathom the point of view of the show. I would say that the first couple of seasons were the best and anything afterward descended into heavy handed moralizing.

It's ok but like a lot of older tv shows I don't think I could binge watch it. Small doses is better. The later eps where Alda takes over become first generation SJW, very preachy and depressing.
