I have a bit of a love-hate relationship with the TV show. I certainly wouldn't go as far as to call it good, but it did have a few good things going for it. The acting was pretty good most of the time, especially from the main cast (except for Brooke Nevin, who I never liked that much), and it definitely had a pretty good soundtrack at points. Also, I wouldn't even be at this forum at all if I didn't start a parody of the TV show and get dragged here by Adam. Thanks for that, by the way. On the other side of the coin, though, it was pretty obvious at times that the writers really didn't know what they were doing, and I think that was the biggest failure of the TV show. For example, the stuff with Elfangor's Disk was so horribly crowbar-ed in that they pretty much gave up on making sense of it by the end of the finale. The series also wasn't for lack of a better word, "deserving" of the Animorphs title. I really have no problem with original plot lines or a different atmosphere, but when the only things that the television show has in common with the books are the characters' names and the basic plot setup, especially after the first half of the first season, I don't really think it should share the name. Despite my complaints, though, the series wasn't the worst thing ever like a lot of Animorphs fans seem to think it was. At least, aside from the second season, that was terrible. Overall, I don't really think it was the most horrible thing to ever exist, but more a massive waste of opportunity.
