I watched the original. Mindless TV watching was something common back then. I remember the show being stupidly Liberal, but I considered it watchable.
I recently watched an old episode. OMG it was bad. Just bad in every way. I imagine the rehash is ten times as bad.
So true. So true.
What I remember is that Candice seemed to deliver every line with the same intonation.
Anger, joy, fear, disgust, surprise were all the same to her.
Eldin, the house painter, was the only good or memorable thing on the show and the actor who played him is dead.
There must have been a lot of rooms in her building for a painter to always be around, but we didn't wonder about things back then.
