   Not pre-school, but the original Battlestar Galactica was aimed at kids,   
   just like the Star Wars movie is was basically created to cash-in on.   
      
   But that's largely irrelveant to the point - why should an established TV   
   show, movie, book, etc. "grow up" because the original fans supposedly   
   grew up?!?! It's moronically insane to think they should.
