Actually, they just do what Cartoon Network asked them to do. A show about the TDI characters as kids in a school. Fresh just changed the concept a little bit by making the characters 7 years younger than CN wanted them to be. Why CN asked for this, idk. It was never explained in interviews. Tom McGillis said many times that they're trying to appeal to a whole new audience with this show, which is why it is so different compared to your regular TD season. However, the people at Fresh do keep the TD audience in mind, which is why there are confessionals, and cameos of other characters like Katie or DJ, so that the people who grew up with the original series can also have a couple of things to remind them about the OG series.

As someone who has watched every single episode so far (with the exception of those 8 episodes that didn't air yet) I can safely say that I do like this show. Sure, it has some flaws like the screentime balance, Cody's treatment, and some terrible episodes like Gum and Gummer, but I love the comedy it has. It actually reminds me of the old Cartoon Network shows when it comes to the comedy. I also enjoy watching this show because of the character interactions, some of which we didn't see enough of (ar any at all) in the original TD series, like Bridgette and Courtney, Izzy and Duncan, Harold and Beth, etc. I definitely prefer this over All Stars, Revenge or Pahkitew Island.
