It was a brave thing to do and a nod to people of a certain age recognizing there is an audience. The shame of it is - the politics are overtly hitting you over the head so that if the show fails - it will fail because of the political preaching and NOT because they used an older cast. I hope that won't prevent other shows from trying the same thing in using older cast members or original casts for revival shows, rather then rebooting these shows with substitute, young cast. Presuming, nobody is left in creative old enough to have any original ideas beyond 140 characters.
