As a 15 year old I was glued to the TV watching this Science Fiction TV series that capture just about ever kid that had a TV back between 1965 - 1968. There was another remake done back in '98 that I did not see.
As you might imagine the sophistication in film making is far better then the previous shows, however the story lines are following suite, updated into the problems of today's society for this latest remake. It was great watching a childhood TV memory - enjoyed it totally!
