Now that it's out on DVD, has anyone seen the Stephen J. Cannell show "Profit" yet? I'm curious to know what it's like. Might get it via NetFlix if it's available.

Well, I just received the first (of 3) DVDs for the show, via NetFlix. Looking forward to watching it - I'll post my opinion of it here.

OK, I've watched the Pilot episode and almost all of episode 2. I LIKE IT!!! It's dark and funny, and quite intelligent. No WONDER it didn't last! LOL
Seriously, I recommend it so far - sharp show.

If it was such a good show, why do you think it was never picked up?

Read this: www.prairienet.org/~astral16/part11.htmI didn't think this was possible after the music changes to the USA DVD release for GAH, but I actually feel sorry for Cannell. They (Fox) totally screwed him and the others behind this show. And, based on what I've seen from the first 3 hours of the show that were filmed, that is a true shame.

Wow, that sucked. Too bad. The show sounded neat, but you think FOX would keep it. Of course, they also dashed KEEN EDDIE, which was a great show. Other networks like UPN have dashed shows like LEGEND, which showed promise. Too bad that those shows get canned, but not the progeny of shows like CSI and LAW AND ORDER.

By the way, just an F.Y.I. Those first 2 episode of Profit (that rented on DVD #1 from NetFlix) must have impressed me somewhat - I just purchased the full 3 DVD set from Deep Discount.

There was the 2 hour pilot and then 7 other hour-long episodes after that. So far, I've made it through the pilot and 3 of the other episodes and I think it's great, and I've heard the remaining 4 episodes are just as good if not better. Go for it!
;D

I've watched all the episodes of Profit now. What a great, damn show. Truly sad it was never given the chance to develop an audience...

This was a fairly recent effort, wasn't it? I vaguely remember it, but I haven't paid much attention to TV this century.

Yeah, 1996. Great, great show. And a REALLY solid cast, with Adrian Pasdar playing a kick a$$ lead.
