i think it's always pretty weird - you can be as much of a fan of the series as you want and you can be willing to give the new actor/actress a chance - but in the end it's very likely you don't like it since you relate the character to the person who played the character first.
it's sad that
Richard Crenna passed away. i'd really loved to see them explore Jared/Maxine further - they were a really cute couple. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
