Wow.

I remembered watching this show occasionally in the late 1980's and thinking it was pretty good. I saw it at Best Buy for $17 for the entire series. Since a season of a regular show is usually around 30-40, I decided to pick it up.

There is a reason it was only 17 bucks.

My youthful memories have again lied to me. After watching the first season straight through, I have to say this show is "Oh my God" bad. Delta Burke as the sultry object of desire? The acting of the "players" is worse than porn. The football highlights are worse than "Saved by the Bell". Lots of hot girls occasionally taking their tops off is the only thing this show has going for it. I'll come back and edit if need be after watching the later seasons. I suppose there is another positive from the show if you include laughing at the sheer cheesiness of it.
