| Re: Pretender - Possible new movie - I think the biggest problem was that NBC abruptly cancelled the show and the creators had a lot more they wanted to do with it, but couldn't. The movies were their way of trying to close up some of the storylines, but I don't know if the movies got quite the reception they were hoping for (they really weren't as good as the series episodes), so there were just the two.
If the PTB had shopped the show out to another network (like USA, since TNT doesn't do original programming), they might have fared better. Of course, I think NBC realized how stupid a move they'd made when they canned their entire Saturday-night line-up for the lamest not-a-sport event in history. Honestly - watching grass grow would be more fun. |
