TV's Lost Gems

My friends who are love smitten with the new version of this show were rarely even born when this one was on the air for the slight one and a half season it was on. There were a lot of "Star Wars" rips involved, even a "Magnificent Seven" episode, but that wasn't what made the show. It was the mythology. That mythology that lives on in the new show. It's like the stories of the Greek Gods versus the Roman ones. Both have their own values, but the family resemblance is too strong to dismiss.
"Everything else is felgercarb!"
