They just seemed and acted like high school kids.They were not good enough to carry the show.They also felt that many of the original actors were stuck with a talent that worked in the 80's.  Linda Gray was one and her part limited initially. Hence why Linda was not really up for doing it. She would have won the election and exited the show and had a bit part.So it was all a bit of a weird mess on what they were doing. But they changed things.It wasn't until they knew the show was in a state collapse that they decided to court fans of the original series. But it was all a little too late.I have never watched it again, I enjoyed moments. I was one person who wasn't overly bothered about it paying homage to the original , but it just didn't feel interesting enough to keep me watching.</blockquote>
