It was a great family show because it could appeal to two generations at once - those who grew up in the 60s and early 70s (like my parents) as well as their children like me (who were growing up in the late 80s and early 90s and experiencing a lot of the same things, just in a different time period.) I was in the same grades that Kevin was progressing through at the time it was on so it really struck a chord with me.
