I was a huge fan of the original series as a kid. The show seems cheesy rewatching it as an adult. I'm not comparing the reboot to the original; each should stand on its own, in my opinion. I liked the original Star Trek series; its hard to compare to the newer Star Trek series. Each were great in their time and each are great on their own.

Random thoughts: Dr Smith is way too crazy and extremely annoying. The character is useless. I cannot watch Judy at all......she's a doctor at 18, looks 12, and her voice sounds like a 5 year old Cindy Brady. Bad casting! Maureen Robinson was a doctor in the original series. I don't remember her doing much, except making dinner and doing housework, though. Love the robot! Will and Penny are favorites. I hope Penny's character develops more as the series goes on. Yes, there's a lot of diversity in the cast. Why not?
