[QUOTE="Spooky Owl!, post: 72143, member: 57984"] A never-ending slew of long-lost characters, family or not, tends to get stale. And the '80s shows just got into bringing in too much new blood, sidelining the core characters. A little of that is okay, but when "the new kids" and their stuck-on plotlines begin to overshadow the principals, there is always a problem and it usually smacks of desperation from a writing team that doesn't know or remember how to weave a narrative web which still focuses on the leads.
