The original was a national event. EVERYBODY watched it.

It also still holds up rather well, once you get past the fact some parts of "Africa" look suspiciously like "Korea" and "Hazzard County, Georgia".

John Amos is great, as are LeVar Burton and Louis Gosset, Jr.

It was the closest thing we had to binge watching a new series. Watching the same new show every night for a week seemed insane at the time.
