I used to strongly dislike this show back then.
Rewatching as an adult, and specially after comparing it with its awful remake from the year 2016, I started to appreciate its virtues and sarcastic sense of comedy.
While a lot of people seem to remember this series as something "adorable" and "wholesome" based it solely on the appearence of the main characters, in truth this show was actually filled with black comedy, and some episodes can be frankly cynical.
I often read on the internet how people mentions this show gave "good lessons" to kids. Honestly, I doubt this show was trying to be educational, and the "lessons" of the episodes are often subverted for the sake of jokes. If anything, it feels like it was trying to parody the "wholesome" nature of "girly-shows". Occasionally, it openly mocked other educational shows.
But yeah, it was competenly made, and vastly superior to its remake.
And it probably will be vastly superior to that absurd live-action version Warner wants to make.
