I only watched the first episode of the remake. It was OK, but not sure if I'll make it regular viewing. But then again, what else is on on Sunday nights? But I was really glad to see the big white ball make an appearance in the new show. Also glad to see it's being shot in South Africa and Namibia.
The original show is wonderful. There had to be more than 17 episodes, though. The box set has 10 discs, so it's probably closer to 40 episodes. If I remember right, the later episodes got a little lazy, much like its contemporary, Star Trek.
