Don't know the answer?

Successful, isn't it!

A series years ahead of its time.

2. I LOVED that show!
But I didn't know anyone else who "got it" - no one understood why I thought the show was so great.

3. THAT should be on DVD...

4. You can go to Amazon.com and vote for it.
Look it up, they say it's not available on DVD yet, but they will send you and e-mail when it's released. By registering to be notified, you are also "voting" to get it released on DVD. I'd just love to get that series.

5. I cheated
I torrented the entire series. It took four days, but it was worth it.

(Don't tell anybody...)

7. It's simply one of the best-written series ever.
Sharp as a scalpel, and afraid of nothing. It's a genuine pity it only lasted a very abbreviated two seasons.

I wonder if Mat Frewer would be interested in reprising the role?
