I remember loving this show as a kid. I had never seen the movie and when I did later on I was disappointed that it wasn't the same actors. I wish this had lasted longer. I should make it a point to rewatch the series to see if it still holds the same appeal it did then. I'm sure the special effects are probably less than awe inspiring lol
