I watched this show back in the 80's when it first came out, and was very sad when it ended. I was happy to get the chance to watch it again. I still think this show was before it's time, and can stand up to shows in this day and age... but without all the non essential sex and action scenes which don't have anything to do with the plot. Great character development, wonderful issues- which still have an impact on the world today. It was very interesting to see all of the people in the show who ended up being well known actors today.
