I love the cast and the show. The movie remake was horrible. I would love to see the original type of remake. I have the three seasons on CD. I could never understand why they cancelled the series after 3 years.

Because the youth were aging out of the roles. And it was a very expensive Series to produce.

Those are some great photos!! Wow did those costumes pop! I used to take a lot for granted about that show. But seeing the pictures in true digital reproduction shows how much effort they put into the show! Plus the actors had a certain chemistry and charism that shines through!
