Loved it when I was five and my Grandma even made me a uniform when I was little. I was really into this show and watched it whenever re-runs came on. In my teens and later, re-runs were few and far between. To bad it only ran for 2 seasons. I do feel the black and white first season was the better of the 2. I finally found them at Sam's Club about 15 years ago. One of the best shows made.
