What a tiresomely 'correct' show, so slavishly eager to ingratiate itself with its key demographics that it makes little sense. The kids are super-smart, the woman (whose solitary expression suggests severe constipation) is super-super smart and the man is barely bright enough to ride a tricycle let alone serve any practical purpose in deepest space (if you want the show to seem realistic, then BE realistic!). As for the 'action,' it's just another soap posing as sci-fi, like much TV sci-fi is these days. The writers clearly have no idea what to do with an old campy show except make it un-campy. So everyone just gets on with things, hugs and supports each other a lot and endure the useless bloke. Even Ms Smith, now that she isn't he, can't be allowed to be so selfish and devious, because being selfish and devious isn't nice, children, so she's an aimless character who doesn't have much to do. What on earth, or off it, is the point? Even the trumpet-heavy music is formulaic. Utterly lazy, patronising and pointless.
