Was a fan of the original series. Otherwise I doubt if I would have watched this. There are some good things in this movie but they are few and far between. Max Baer Jr. Stayed away from the project and was probably glad after seeing it. The replacement Jethro looked nothing like the original. Jed,Miss Hathaway,and Elly May were all in here. Oh and ya see some old character actors from years back as well. Most notable Werner Klemperer aka Col. Klink from Hogans Heroes. Overall I gave it 5 stars the movie wasn't bad it had a story and once ya started watching ya figured ya had some time put into it ya might as well see the end. It is one of those movies that you will never go out of your way out too see again. If there is nothing else to watch you might choose a book,nap or even a walk in a rainstorm.
