i see that most of you here consider this show stupid.i first(and also last actually)saw it more than 10 yrs ago before i was 9,and it has never rerun here,so i can't remember much and therefore won't comment on whether it's silly or sth.
i think there are so many negative comments on it because this show is kinda out of date,it was meant for audience of the 80s,portraying sth in the future that didn't quite exist at that time.when enthralled in the hi-tech thing in the show,people might not pay much attention to fake stunts and stupid storylines.besides,they might not really seem fake or stupid back in the 80s.that's why,i believe,it could become a smash hit.
since the show is out of date,as it reruns today,it naturally becomes a show meant for kids only.i remember when i was a kid,i used to love some tv shows and consider them almost perfect and magnificent,but when i watch the reruns today as an adult,i find that they are actually nothing more than crap.
as the show has already become sth meant for kids,why do you adults bother to watch and suffer?i suggest that you not watch it at all and leave it to kids,so that the splendid memory of it left in your minds when you yourselves were kids won't be spoiled.
