It's not so much a difference in quality as in tone. The BB script had an earnest, adolescent preachiness that was completely out of character with the original.

They were created 16 years apart; the world of 1989 bore a closer resemblance to 1999 than 2005.

In good times, people want to see suffering and hardship. In lean times, people want their heroes heroic and the allegories plain. Witness the ascendance of Survivor during the peak of the internet boom, and compare with the today's reality shows, which are mostly about people getting jobs.
