I saw this first run back in the day and liked it. Partly because there was a dearth of science fiction on tv back then.
I can't say it was fabulous because of 8 episodes, at least 2 were total clunkers -- weird motorcycle one where the parents seemed to forget they had a small child, and even worse the beauty and the beast episode. Stooping that low that early is pretty bad, so it looks like they couldn't get enough writing support.
But the premise was solid and the family was well written and played. It was nice to see that they were all intelligent and believable. No cheap caricatures. And Jonathan Banks makes the most of his role as well.
