Oh, I agree with that, too. If you consider the global economic merchandising money-making potential of a project like this (etc., etc., etc.) sure, it should have been done years ago.

Fortunately, I don't care about any of that. My only concern is as a fan, and it is in that sense I hope the film gets done, and is good. And that I think is a distinct possibility.

BTW, I haven't watched any "new" episodes in years, either. I have the first four seasons on DVD, and catch reruns once in a while. If this is the beginning of the end, fine. I think there are more than enough of great episodes already, and it will probably take me the rest of my life to catch up on all the ones I've missed...
