    I agree that Dale was an integral part of the show. At the same time, for the revival to be successful, I think that it needs to do more than just bring back the same characters and dynamics.

    Thank you for bringing this up! Skin cancer is serious business. Melanoma somehow does not have the marketing savy of breast cancer. This is bizzare to me, since better public awareness of melanoma and prevention savvy would save lives!
