The TVGN channel just started airing a Labor Day marathon right now. It's season one of the original show from 1990. Hard to believe this was 24 years ago. Oh my, that nostalgia feeling. I think the ladder part of the first season carried over into 1991 as well.
I can't even recognize a young Luke Perry, Jason Priestley and Shannen Doherty to name a few. This show was actually pretty epic when I was in Elementary school. We'd be talking about it the next day in class or during PE or recess while playing Tetherball or Kickball.
It was like the Game of Thrones back then in terms of ratings. There was no every second, up-to-the-date social media back then like lazer-fast Internet and smartphones otherwise the first five or six seasons might have drew in even more ratings. The last few seasons, with the original cast, had some Internet following on the old AOL dial-up. LOL
Anyways, I never really liked the remake of it just the original.
