the big mistake was starting with the worst episode of the entire series and
leaving the intented pilot to air at the end and the three unaired episode
(IIRC) are my favourite episodes in the show.
I'm gonna go see the movie tonight but I'm really looking forward to it.

that they CANT make another tv series as Universal had a 3 movie option or
