I'm so excited!!!!
I've been counting down the days since Christmas. [Big Grin]

I've already called Wal-Mart, to make sure that they'll have it- they've got a whole pallet of them.
I'm planning on stopping in before school tomorrow morning and then carrying it around with me all day. I can't think of a better way to spend Valentine's than with Brootsie. [Blushing]

Anyone else a Pretender fan?

I enjoyed the show somewhat. Enough so that when the first movie came out, I hung out in the ICU at my hospital in an empty room with a TV to watch it. But someone coded, so I ended up missing the movie anyway. Then they had a second movie, didn't they? I thought there was to be a third movie but I never found it.

I used to watch that show occasionally when my mom let me stay up late with her. I enjoyed it.

How young are you, KQ?

I think there were supposed to be seven seasons. It was cancelled after only four. As for the movies, I've only seen two movies listed (The Pretender 2001 and Island of the Haunted [The description's horid for this one, "In the course of their search, they stumble across the powerful mystic scrolls..."]), but I haven't watched either. At least, I don't remember doing so. I watched the program on tv when I was seven or eight...

Ahh! I loved "The Pretender"! Much of my childhood was shaped by that show. Ok, so maybe not much, but I always wanted to be Jared.

"Are you a doctor?"
"I am today."

Priceless. Thanks so much for the heads up.

No problem. Always happy to share!

I think my favorite line is Miss Parker, talking to Brigitte: "Broots may be an idiot, but he's my idiot. The only one who terrorizes him is me."

Oh, and it's Jarod, with an O.

Season THREE? I thought they only made two seasons!

MMmmmmm...

(Yes, my roommate and I both loved the show.)

EDIT upon reading further, a fourth season as well. So awesome.

Ah, I knew I'd mess up either that or the quote. I haven't seen that show in years upon years yet I perfectly remember the quote you're talking about.

Ooh. Thanks for the heads up. I've already got seasons 1 & 2. It's a great show. [Big Grin]

I downloaded Season 4, but I can't figure out how to get it from computer to DVD..

Posted by Vasslia Cora (Member # 7981) on :

I love the pretender, so I can't wait for the DVDs.
I was happy when they aired a marathon of it and I was able to record most of it.

I love Pretender. [Big Grin]

I'd love it if we could get all the DVDs, including movies, here. I never saw the movies, only the seasons, and was devastated when the show ended.

Oh I so loved that show. Must go Netflix em all! [Smile]

I've got it!
My family refused to get up on time, so I had to wait until after school to grab a copy.
My mum called Wal-mart, just to make sure, again, that they'd have it. They'd started off with 100 at 8:00 this morning. 1:00 they had 4.
I had no idea that it was so popular!

We can't watch it until my dad gets home, so I shall be in agony until 6:00...
