Profit on DVD

Have finally got my copy and started watching.

After viewing the four episodes that aired in 1996, I have determined that this show is exactly as awesome as I remembered it being. After finishing, I'll try to actually write some reviews or something.

Once again, I really can't believe this show ever made it to air. It's just so outside the bounds of anything I ever remember watching, certainly up to that point in time. I will have to note, however, how fandom has really changed the way I watch TV shows.

Among other things, Lisa Zane as Joanne Meltzer. A great performance, and a really neat character. Zane's acting highlights for me, how underwhelming Elizabeth Rohm was as Kate Lockley. I liked the Kate character, and I didn't really mind Rohm at the time - but Lisa Zane does so much better a job with a character that is really similar in a lot of ways.

Man, it really is hard not to root for Jim Profit, because really, this show is so awesome.

I remember Healing, because it was the last episode I ever saw, and it was awesome. Awesome. The scenes with Profit and Joanne kick such ass. I'm, gonna finish "Security" tonight, and then it'll just be Forgiveness left.

And then I'm going to try to corrupt a coworker or two, because I want to have more acolytes to gush with over the awesomeness of this show. I can pick a bunch of nitpicks and concerns, but it's just so damn cool.
