The original serious wasn't that bad - at least for kids of my generation who watched them premiere. At that point, no other weekly TV show had better effects. It got decent ratings too. The problem was cost, which was about 1 million an episode back then. They needed stellar ratings to keep it going. They reformulated show and tried to keep it going with new actors, and cost-cutting measures, but it was very weak.
