recently picked up Profit: the series on dvd at wallmart. You can also find it here... http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0007WQGZE/104-1888377-8537520?v=glance

I watched the show on its very short first run and I have to say it left an impression. In the first episode the protagonist, Jim Profit, kills two people(one of which is his father who he had failed to kill earlier by chaining him to a bed and setting him on fire!), sleeps with is junky stepmom, engineers the downfall of a few of his rivals using deciet and blackmail, and gets a secretary.

Thats the first episode. Also what can you say about a charicter who does all of that and then goes home to sleep in a cardboard moving box. This show is a primer on villainy and I now find myslef wanting to do a villain again.

Did they ever bring the series to a decent close. I really enjoyed it and it seemed it got yanked without a proper ending. That guy really was creepy evil in a contemporary way. And yes, he was a role model for some of the villains I've played - thanks Geoffrey.
