Ok, don't want to get into a flame fest here. I loved watching the original BG reruns when I was little. But let's face it, they were cheesy and hokey. The new series is simply a different show, using some of the same names and images as the old one. I think it's an excellent show so far.
Yup. Far exceeded my expecations, and one of the most intelligently written shows on TV regardless of genre. I wouldn't have guessed the head writer was a liberal. The pilot was a bit of a lib/conservative charicature, but the writing is on solid footing now -- when people do things, you understand WHY they do them, even the bad ones.
