  1. Can´t believe it´s been that long. I just saw the occassional episode, but always thought it well made. If it had been 30 years ago, I would have watched it religiously...

    1. i was a die-hard fan from the beginning and introduced my kids to it as early as i thought they would appreciate it. the boys are fans, with all the dvds and memorized quotes and sadness whenever anyone associated with it dies and strong opinions on plot developments and that last season. this is one of my all-time favorites series.
