Watching this show used to be a weekly ritual amongst my circle of friends, as we grew up watching the characters on this long running drama grow up. I saw every episode, and even during some of the rougher patches of the series, I never missed an episode, and watched it again and again while it was still being shown in re-runs. Recently, it came to Netflix (in Canada), and I have begun the show again.
Yes, it's dated, but it's still much, much better than the current incarnation of the series, which I cannot stand. Yes, it's gooey, feel-good, learn a lesson scripts are a little harder to stomach after many years away from the show, but I still love it, and will keep watching it. The cast was well chosen, the writing was good for the time, and the show was just overall, strong, and it taught us something while we watched. I miss TV like this these days, where we are swamped with a bunch of badly written, badly cast, and terribly acted shows.
