I don't think the BW line would have had the impact it did if the original show was mediocre, would you want the new generation of kids be subjected to a degraded version of BW television series? I know I wouldn't, If they do a new series and do it right then surely the popularity of the series would increase. Increased interest in a series normally means Hasbro will put more effort into (fingers crossed) a more diverse and better designed toy line.
