How ironic that when this first aired it was a neat show about the future, but now 20 years later we're here looking back on it with nostalgia missing what once was and the time we had back then. It's amazing when a show's concept can grow with the audience and be seen from two different perspectives from the airing and then the post airing. Also, looking back on this show I kinda realize how hard they dropped the concept of the career chips considering it was the entire drive of the series being kicked off.
