I loved the Jenkins/Buckingham run, and I think it actually accomplished much of what the BND group is trying to do. I'm having trouble putting into words what the differences are, though. Peter was much more in character, for one thing, and for another ... well, even the sex jokes (Candi! With the dog, that was her name, right?) didn't seem to involve humiliating one or more parties or work off the initial premise that men are dogs and women are from some other planet. Peter definitely did silly things, but the story never made a point of kicking him when he was down just because we must stick to the Parker luck formula!!!! And so on.
