I feel that when MITM was first introduced to the UK television viewing public via, it was not carried out appropriately. This is not the fault of the show's creators, but the BBC.
The BBC's view of the show seemed to have been: It was a show which featured children - therefore its assumed to be just a kid's show. It was therefore evident that when they carried out their promotional activity, the BBC did not really embrace its audience to what the show was really about and the amount of potential it really had before it. Six seasons and counting is surely enough to prove that.
The BBC usually lackss in their approach to shows from America. I guess thats why they have eventually lost great shows such as The Simpsons and 24. And don't mention what they did with Seinfeld.
