For the ones who saw the original series in the 70`s
For the ones who saw the original series (like myself) back in the 70`s, is the new one really good?
I love the original one when I was a kid, during the 70`s/80`s, and, due to that, I never had any desire to watch the new one, since it was like they were "preying on my childhood". And it would be ever worse if it happened to be some horrible thing (IMHO) such as the new Bionic Woman.
However, today I read the full series description on wikipedia and I had the impression this series to be really good. And, let`s face, the original series was way beyond being cheesy, I cannot deny it. In fact, I saw the pilot some years ago, and it was really painful to watch. Just like many other series from that time (Buck Rogers, Isis, The 6 million dollars man, for instance), it was really bad. Unfortunately, I must realize the only reason I could like then now would be my for my childhood`s memories. But even this could not make watch it again and really enjoy it.
By the way, I am definitely not saying older series were all bad. The 50/70`s periods produces many wonderful ones that (again, IMHO) stands solid up to now (I love Lucy, Bewitched, The Waltons, Happy Days, just to name a few of them). However, I was not true to those older science fiction...boy they all sucked...
So my point is. Is it good for someone who have "feelings" for the original series to saw it? Would I like it? Did you do?
Thanks in advance.
