| kid in today's generation X or Y era will take one look | | | | special effects and realism would make this show killer |
| at the old show and think it's a cheap YouTube knock | | | | to watch! |

| amazing show as it aired for the mini-series and one | | | | comes to the online world, you can test things like this |
| more short season before the ratings just didn't hold | | | | easily before spending any money on producing the |
| on. This doesn't mean that millions didn't absolutely love | | | | show. Tens of thousands of people watched them. |
