Why did it have to?!?!?!?! It's a TV show!!! No doubt you expect a "grown
up" version of Barney and Sesame Street in a few years time too. The idea
that established TV shows, books, movies, etc. should "grow up" just
because the fans supposedly have is quite simply complete and utter
idiocy. :-\
Not to mention that "grown up" usually means shovelling in loads of
pointless over-sexed scenes which aren't really "grown up" at all, but are
instead just "immature teen pervert fantasy". :-(
