Back to the Rafters

Agree that I, too, am missing many of the original gang including Jake, Coby etc. In the original series, I found that some characters grew on me but, alas, not the much loved Julie who gave new meaning to passive-aggressive. And for goodness sake, get a hairstyle! Or a comb! Missing the original Rachel, too. Only one episode into Back and yes, Ruby does seem beyond precocious.

Man, what on earth were they thinking. They should have left it alone. I'm only 10 minutes into the First episode and it stinks. Bad acting and no emotion. An old character Playing a completely new character? Lol.

Ruby is painful.

Poor Rebecca Gibney. Best she forget this one.

This reboot is definitely worth watching for so many reasons. My only complaint that Carbo is so annoying to the extent he almost ruins the show. Bring him back for 2 minutes....but does he need to be is so many scenes. Would of been so much better to bring back Coby....he was a character with watching.

I was excited to watch this new series.. So excited that I re watched S6 to refresh my memory.. The first few episodes of this new series were were true to form.. Nathan the insipid.. Everything is everyone else's fault.. Ben the brat.. Totally shocked that the world doesn't revolve around him.

Rachel the invisible.. Lucky to have escaped to New York.. Dave the oblivious.. Hear no evil, see no evil, etc.. Julie the magnificent.. The perfect mother, wife and daughter.. Ted the impenetrable.. Thank God for Ted.. As I said it started off okay.. Then it drifted off into something that is so "woke " and "lit" (they actually used the words).. If there's an issue on the planet, they highlighted it.. It just became really, really monotonous.. And if Ruby is an example of a modern 8 years old child, I fear for seniors of tomorrow..

Glad this show is back but please keep what was good from the original show ( the main characters living the ups and downs of their everyday lives). Bring back Coby. Annoying and loud mouth Carbo and Ruby in her Greta Thornberg character almost makes the show unwatchable. Bring on season 2 without Ruby and Carbo.
