Well don't you think it's slightly over-taxed?

The evil is this way?
Cindy's trying to kill everybody! Flee! Turn your back on your computer and run fast!
She can't kill me. I do not exist.

So I'm about 3/4 of the way through my Profit marathon and it's interesting. It's obviously a show I've loved dearly for many years. But whenever I sit down to watch it again (or even gush about it to people), I always wonder if I've built it up to be this mythic thing. That once I've seen it again, I'm going to be disappointed because it probably can't be as good as the Profit I remember in my head.
I am happy to report that that has yet to happen. It's still just as amazing as I remember it being and, every time I watch, I catch something new I hadn't noticed before. It's kinda cool.
I am loving the commentaries. Though the mental picture of Stephen J. Cannell on a rocking horse is somewhat unsettling.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Do we know that the Logo Network is rerunning Wonderfalls?
Does anyone else besides me have the Logo Network?

Yes to the first. Sadly, not me to the second.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I saw that on my sister's satellite this past week. We don't get Logo either, I'm sad to say.

The explanation for Profit's green suit made me laugh and laugh. I should warn you that the "Forgiveness" commentary is probably the least interesting, because they're actually watching the show a lot of the time -- Pasdar mentions he's never seen it at the top.
I just showed the pilot episode to a friend I haven't seen in, I dunno, 10 years? Which made me nervous, because it's a tricky thing to show to someone you don't know that well. But she was pretty much in awe, and laughed in all the right places. And we watched "Smile Time" afterwards because that's required viewing.
Oh, yes, and while looking over my DVDs she was all, "Wonderfalls! I loved that!"
So I figure I'll show her all of Profit, and then Brass Eye, and if she hasn't run screaming from me by then, we'll try Jam.

Oh, Strega, I loved that. "But I know that it's St. Patrick's Day." The last commentary was definitely the least interesting but, at least, there were a lot jokes about Adrian's hair.

So you're saying the show was like training for Greenwalt to work with DB later on?
