Anyone remember this show from the late 90's? It's out on DVD now and I've been borrowing it from a friend who bought up to the 3rd season (he'll get around to the 4th soon).
Anyway, it's a pretty good show and the bonus features are decent and pretty entertaining. The commentaries are great. The producers were talking about this show they did that didn't last long and how they'd been joking with the star of The Pretender (Michael T. Weiss) that if he'd starred in it the show would still be on the air. Well, they got their feet in their mouths because apparently he HAD auditioned for the show and they hadn't hired him! It's these lovely tidbits that are the real reason we love and adore commentaries......
Anyway, the first two seasons are awesome, the third has some great episodes but major character deviation (I HATE that), and it's fun to see all the guest stars that were on the show. Pretty amazing how many people were on The Pretender who have been in some major blockbuster movies. Cool.
