Revisiting this series even at mostly second hand has been at once illuminating and kind of mentally trepanning, because I saw it at an age when I had so little basis for comparison with other television shows and while I was not without tools for thinking about story at that time, I was also *checks airdates* thirteen to seventeen for its original run. I can apply a lot more argument to it now.
That must be such an odd experience to be discussing it in the depth that we have been! I've had that happen with shows I saw at a similar or younger age, but not quite in this depth, I don't think. It's also really interesting to me that this *isn't* one of the shows I remembered with the vivid clarity that I do some of the other shows of my preteen and teen years - I can still describe individual episodes of, say, Quantum Leap, which I saw at a younger age, but with this show, it was just scattered recollections and a general sense that I'd liked it enough that I wanted to finish someday. Strange how the brain works like that!
Anyway, I've really been having a fantastic time talking about it with you, so I'm really happy that you remember it well enough to discuss it in this much detail.
