Of course everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but I can't believe that anyone would hate The Chronicles of Narnia. I first saw the mini-series when I was 10 and loved it. I loved the book too and all the follow-ups when I read them.
On a different note, The Lion The Witch and the Wardrobe was only the third CTW show I saw, after Sesame Street and The Electric Company. I don't remember much about TEC but I did notice one thing LWW had in common with SS; Part 1 starts off with Lucy coming out of the wardrobe and telling her three siblings about the land of Narnia, but they don't believe her, espcailly after she takes them to the wardobe and there's nothing there. It was like no grown-up believing Big Bird about Snuffle-Upagus. The diffrerence is, it only took Edmund later in part 1 to see that Lucy was telling the truth and it only took Peter and Susan part 2 to do so, and by that time, the professor had given them a sharp talking to about the possbility of Lucy being right.
By contrast, it took the grownups 15 years to see that Big Bird was telling the truth about Snuffle-Upagus!
