I've gotta disagree. In fact, I'd say that continued interest in the JA is largely in spite of the JS. I don't know how many times I've mentioned how much I love the Airplane and people have rolled their eyes and started talking about how lame the Starship was (of course, that's the old Starship, not the current version, which is more in the spirit of the Airplane, but isn't exactly well known outside of the Jefferson fan community).
