	The show is too bad even to be worth seeing for camp value.
The production of the TV show (as opposed to the subject of the TV show)
has also been satirized by Ben Bova, in "The StarCrossed."
After reading it, one can only assume that Bova didn't get sued for
libel by those involved because of the fear that a court would rule
that they were indeed as idiotic as they are portrayed in the novel.
