I've found that many of the things I enjoyed as a child get ruined if I rewatch them. Partly because the times have changed, but partly because my own standards have changed. There are some things, like Max Headroom, that I can still really enjoy, but there are other things that I watch, remembering them being great and loving them and then souring that. I feel like V won't really stand up to the rewatching, since I remember noticing some of the cheesiness back when I watched it first run.
