Yes, it makes perfect sense. It's so great that you and your dad both liked the original movie well enough to give the series a chance, because that's how it was with me and my dad. Our mutual love for westerns is one of the special thinkgs that just the two of us share. He's an electrician, and my sister has always been good with her hands, so she'd help him repair appliances and such. Being an anti-talent that I was with such things, I wasn't allowed near them, so I was jealous. That was until I discovered westerns had LOTS of horses! (I wanted to be a horse doctor ;-) ) It just grew from there.

If you ever have a chance to see the Invisible Man, do! I have bothe seasons, but for some reason I can't copy the episoded (they're DivX), or I'd send them to you. It's such an unbelievably good show, heartbreaking at time, goofy, at others, but always witty, with friendship and hard-earned trust between two main characters, Darien Fawkes the Invisible Man, ex-cat-burglar, and Bobby Hobbes, ex-CIA, FBI, NSA, bi-polar paranoid secret agent. The bantering between those two is just so hilarious, and over time they come to trust each other implicitly, risking their live for each other. Here's a sinopsis:

Small-time thief, Darien Fawkes, is facing his third conviction and the prospect of
a life sentence without the possibility of parole. But salvation comes in the form of his brother, a brilliant scientist in the employ of the government. In return for his freedom, Fawkes agrees to take part in his brother's invisibility experiments. A synthetic
gland is implanted into his brain, which secretes a substance that bends light around Fawkes, rendering him effectively invisible.

The gland secretes a mysterious substance called Quicksilver. The Quicksilver secretions enable him to become invisible at will, but they unexpectedly also degrade his higher brain functions, unleashing his dark impulses and pushing him towards insanity.The inevitible destruction of Darien's mind can be only partially and temporarily suppressed by a counteragent, administered on a frequent basis by the Keeper,who also works for the agency. Consequently, Darien has struck an uneasy deal: the counteragent in return for serving a clandestine government agency as a secret operative.
