I rented Profit just this past week because I had heard Good Things. I watched the first disc with the pilot and second ep and promptly took the rest of the show off my queue.
While I did enjoy it a bit, between the bad 90's hair, clothes, soundtrack and the "Talented Mr. Ripley"ness of it all, I couldn't bring myself to finish. Except that's not fair cuz Jim is mildly smarter than that buffoon.
In the end, I really think it was the hair (and the music, oh the music!) that made me unable to really get behind the wonderful f*cked-upness of it all.
*sits in corner by my lonesome*
I took Profit out of my queue as soon as I'd finished the first disk. Sure as hell knew it was something I needed to own.
Lisa Darr was my favorite thing about Profit, especially her spotlight episode where they shipped the demented scientist off to China. (To me that guy will always be the janitor in I Only Have Eyes for You, which was a great Buffy episode, albeit not one of the great ones Tim wrote.)
the music, oh the music!
But... it's Mike Post!
People who liked the insanity of Profit should try the Mel Profit arc of WiseGuy. It's just as bizarre, in completely different ways.
Er, well, in mostly different ways.

More foot fetishism and incest, I suspect.
That was the beginning of my Kevin Spacey love.
But... it's Mike Post!
I know, right?!
/not a fan of the L&O's and plethora of other police procedurals he did (that I saw).
Mike Post wrote the Hill Street Blues music. His work is sacred.
WiseGuy definitely had more foot fetishism. I think they're about even on incest. And sometimes Terranova's hair was almost as weird as Profit's, actually.
I still think Roger LoCocco should have had a spin-off. Oh, Roger.
Mike Post wrote the Hill Street Blues music. His work is sacred.
Absolutely. (Although I'd have said The Rockford Files.)
