    Why did it need to 'appeal to a wider audience'? The original audience was robust enough to keep the show on the air for seven years. Seems like in TV world, that's a goldmine.

    Seven years? Some people would count up to 10, not including increasingly terrible spinoffs and sequels.

    Some people would discount anything but the original movie. :-)
    (Including some of the movie crators themselves, who wanted to do a
    follow-up movie that ignored the TV series and all its changes!)
