I didn't like the original series too much. It was often serious and dramatic... and boring. How many late 70's and early 80's movies are going to be spoof movies? I may see it, I may not. I'm sure it'll be in the previously-viewed bargain-bin at Blockbuster soon.
Owen (and his brother) Wilson was really funny in Bottle Rocket. Which if you haven't seen, I highly recommend as a cheapo. Buy it used or rent it. It is the essence of the Wilson brothers' humor.
