The more I watch NE I think the same about her character. But don’t remember thinking of her that way back when show first came out in early 90’s.

When they tried to convert to digital, apparently a lot of the copyright holders wouldn't sign or held out for more or the legal fees weren't worth it or something along those lines.

Even with unemployment insurance benefits, and some under-the-table side gigs for extra money, it was still a difficult, stressful time. But I'd come home after a frustrating day of job-hunting, flip on the TV, and watch a few reruns of the show, and it would make everything a little better, and give me the oomph to get out of bed the next day and keep going.
