Bibleman

Hey, did anyone ever watch Bibleman when you were younger--or even when you were older? I've been a fan of such for years and have recently been re-watching all of the Bibleman movies (or technically, home videos) my family has. Even though they're geared toward kids, this is a really good show; it combines superhero action scenes, corny jokes and humor, and most importantly, teaching of God's word and principles. I really enjoy just about every episode I see.
Granted, I did prefer the older ones to the newer ones. Early on in the show, up to the fifth one that came out, The Incredible Force of Joy, Bibleman {Willie Aames} had a partner named Coats {Marc Wayne}. After that, Coats had to leave for reasons unexplained on the show, and was replaced by Cypher {Brady Williams} in the sixth episode, Conquering the Wrath of Rage. I still mostly enjoyed the episodes with Cypher, and I watched his ascent from when he first started with a pretty much regular-looking outfit to where he is today, with a full suit of spiritual armor and his own pair of light-arc weapons. In my opinion, the show started to take a downward fall in 2002, with the release of Jesus Our Savior parts one and two, and the show lost two of its greatest assets: Brian Lemmons, who had done a hilariously evil job of portraying the villain for seven episodes straight, and his sidekick Ludicrous, who though he had been portrayed by four different actors throughout the course of the series, was still a rather humorous contribution to the show. Also, the original Biblegirl, Tracy Henao, showed up in Breaking the Bonds of Disobedience, released in the early 2000's, but only remained for two episodes before the position was taken by Heather Hazelwood. Now, with the most recent Bibleman episode, A Fight for Faith, even the original Bibleman left the show, and was replaced by Josh Carpenter, actor Robert T. Schlipp.
Not that there's anything wrong with the new Bibleman show. Obviously, as long as the show still teaches kids about God, it is still a lot better than most of the shows out there these days. And there's nothing wrong with Robert T. Schlipp, Heather Hazelwood, or Jef Scott, who now portrays the villain. I suppose that I was just used to the old ones, and when they all started to change, it just wasn't the same, just like when the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers of my kindergarten days switched to Power Rangers Zeo, and eventually developed into the umpteen different incarnations they have been seen in today. It's not really the same. Bibleman is still cool--I even met the original Bibleman, Cypher, and Brian Lemmons in person once, shortly before the release of Disobedience. It's a good show, but I prefer the old classics. Have any of you ever watched Bibleman, and if so, what do you think?
