Well, I watched it with my daughter when she was young, and she enjoyed it, so I enjoyed it vicariously through her. Haven’t seen it in years, though. ---

That’s one of the _best_ reasons to think a show is watchable. No need to back down just because some moron-on-the-internet like me has a different opinion. Chacun a son gout. ---

Most definitely. Some people juggle geese. Watchable child actors: 1. Iain Armitage ( _Young Sheldon_ ) 2. Millie Bobby Brown ( _Stranger Things_ ) 3. Ronnie Howard ( _The Andy Griffith Show_ ) 4. Frankie Muniz ( _Malcom in the Middle_ ) 5. Ames McNamara _(The Conners)_ 6. Brandon Cruz _(The Courtship of Eddie’s Father)_ 7. Justin Lee ( _Arrested Development_ ) 8. Miranda Cosgrove ( _iCarly_ ) 9. Wil Wheaton (_Star Trek: The Next Generation_) Annoying at first, but much better by the end of his run on the show IMHO. ---
