I loved this series as a kid and it's still fun to watch today. The cheesy sfx and sometimes famous guest stars are still great to watch.
The only think that always bothers me even when I first watched were the plot holes and contradictory story elements. There was supposedly and accident that killled off the crew 400 years previously, but there's a team of immortal kids who serve as a backup crew but were completwly unaware they were in need. There are ark-wide medical teams, police forces and astrophysics teams that are still in high organization, but these teams don't communicate and none of the ark's bio-domes seem to know about the others and no one but the protagonists are doing anything to try to prevent the ark's collision course. It's like they picked random sci-fi stories to adapt.to the setting of the ark and just acted them out with no overarching story thread. I liked the protagonists, but they were sometimes a little too naive with no special abilities and got caught by the bad guys a little to easily sometimes. Overall a decent classic sci-fi series. Worth a look!
