My favorite as kid. I still watch marathons on TVLand. You may be on to something. I definitely get warm fuzzies when I watch it. I always assumed it's simple nostalgia, but I suppose it could be deeper...a want for nice, tidy, predictable endings where everything work out in the end? Maybe.
Although, I don't really care for the episodes with Terry. Cindy was just okay.
Jack, Janet, and Chrissy were gold.
No it was not deep. I don't think the writers were into evolutionary science. I was using media to show how we can latch onto a guess, and be wrong. Even today's shows do that. Misdirection is a staple in show scripts. Law And Order does it. I just watched last night an episode of "Scorpion" where I thought at first the good guys would go bad, but not being privy to the script writers, of course it did not turn out that way.
It was merely a lesson that things are not always what they seem. Only scientific method can weed out our personal bias.
