Not sure who most people are. I do not see this as a restaurant concept that can/will/or should save the original locations. If it turns a profit, and benefits TV corporate, while providing 1944 Mai Tais, Navy Grogs, and offers some decent Tiki eye candy to the broader unitiated masses, is that a terrible thing? Granted it's not the poly-pop we all know and love here, but maybe a TC'er will happen to be there one night and strike up a conversation with a group who have never heard of the Original Trader Vics, and a new ejumacation can begin.
