When I was a kid, I loved the show. Particularly the earlier episodes (It got progressively more bizarre). Recently, I started thinking about the show again, and thought it was pretty wierd. (I also tried to watch the new “reimagining”, but it is absolutely unbearably bad.)
Then I found out that Larsen was a Mormon, and I realized that the show was based entirely on Mormon theology.
Mormonism was invented by a Fiction writer.
