I still have big problems linking the two Trilogies. They seem like chalk and cheese to me.
The OT was inventive, original (well, traditional with a twist), funny, clever and above all entertaining. The PT for me was trite and derivitive and lacked all that made the OT such a big part of childhood. I really don't think that the PT will grow with it's child audience the way that the OT did with my generation. My newphews have grown up with the PT and have already moved on. They still like the OT but say that the PT is good for their little cousin - aged 4.
I don't think this TV series will do much to help matters either.

Well, JD, I'm 17 years old (introduced to TPM at age 10), and I consider all of the films to be on the same level. I mean, they are all quite fun, entertaining, and thought provoking. And honestly, I couldn't ask for more. Now, none of them are reference material as far as filmmaking goes. But that's not the point.
