All very good posts on the Mactor issue. Not a fan, but as said way back, if the team brings a new audience and this audience sticks with the show, then it's ok. My problem as Peach mentioned is the stunt casting or recruiting those who have never seen the show. If a Mactor is a fan and been the show for a long period of time, then fine, but not a team recruited out of a bar that is not familiar with TAR.
