Man I totally forgot about this show....

 

[RangerDoug]

This show was so good when I was a kid. I totally forgot about it until this reboot.

I don’t think Netflix has anything to worry about Apple entering the streaming biz. It seems Apple wants to keep their offerings family friendly only. And thats cool. I just don’t see them doing the hard “R” edgier stuff that Netflix offers.

The VFX appear to be of the low-budget variety.

There shows that are rated Mature. (“See”, “For all mankind”)

Aren't trailers supposed to make you want to watch the show...?

I’m happy for everyone who is excited for this, but man I don’t really watch TV anymore, and I’m getting used to doing other things instead of watching tv shows. I might be in the minority but I’m probably not going to be an Apple+ customer no matter how good (or bad based on some of the comments) the tv shows are.

I agree I use to never watch PBS but I tuned in for Ghostwriter.

I went off on it in my own post. Apple lied saying they were not doing R and Mature and they are but at least they have a few Y, Y7 and PG movie but still. Remember only Disney+ won't have R Rated content and it anything is too edgy it will be on Hulu which Disney fully owns now.

WOW, talk about a blast from the past! I used to watch this show on PBS as a kid!

Teenage memories for me. Great to see the idea of this show back and running.

Absolutely loved this show as a kid. Crazy that they're bringing it back.

Apple never said that, it was a rumor.

They’d have to be plain stupid to not produce mature content. I doubt we’ll see HBO type shows though.

They doubled down on the family-friendly nature and contracted FX out to Fisher-Price.

They made them on an iPad I suppose.

There were plenty of the usual suspects from the Apple-hate crowd saying exactly that, that Apple was only going to produce Disney-type rated G content. With no profanity allowed. They were foaming at the mouth at the thought of not getting the sex, language and violence they like.

There was even a ridiculous article claiming Cook was micromanaging every episode of every series, aggravating producers by sending notes saying “Don’t be so mean”. The Apple-hate crowd worked themselves into a frenzy over that one, calling (as usual) for Cook to be fired lol.
