The original film was met with mild critical reception,[4] though it was deemed a hit box office.[1][5] In years since, the movie has earned its status as a cultural classic.[5] Its first sequel in contrast was received poorly by critics,[6] and earned less than half of its predecessor.[2] The third movie was considered a disappointment both critically and financially.[7][2] Similarly, the television series spin-off received negative response from critics and viewers alike.[8] Despite this, the two sequels have found a modern-day fanbase with critic reanalysis including the two installments in "so bad [they're] good" movie lists.[9][10][11] Following the death of Kirstie Alley, various sources attributed the series to one of the greatest roles of her career.[12]
