Towards the end of the 80s they attempted to revive the classic television spy series. It was an expected move that they redo older series as television was faced with a possible writer’s strike. Rehashing the past made sense in that light. Though it is not as good as the original it is still a decent show. It only lasted two seasons as it was soon up against The Cosby Show.
