Especially people who didn't grow up watching it.

This is important, I think. For my parents' generation it was a cultural phenomenon that had huge impact on their childhoods. These are the people who are now in charge of, among other things, a large chunk of modern culture. Also television. People my age largely didn't grow up watching it except for rare reruns, having "endured" its silence. And strangely, a lot of us wished we did. I heard their stories about watching it as kids, and didn't give a damn. I even saw a few episodes when I was younger, and also didn't give a shit. And then when I heard it was coming back, making sure I never missed it became a sudden and surprising priority that never went away.
