1984 was an absolute train wreck. Previous ideas were reused and reused and then reused again. Ginormous Yawn.
In addition to bringing forth unique storylines, Seasons 1, 2, 3 and 7 were far superior to the rest because characters were developed. 1984’s character development of Xavier, (Hannah) Montana, Chet, Ray and even Margaret were disappointingly thin and the characters were 1 dimensional. It was hard to watch.
