D - great site! I must watched that movie a dozen times. Love it!
LOL and watched the series 5x, including with commentary. Something I'd suggest to fans is to change the screen format to zoom in on faces. This changes your favorite show to a less theatrical-distant feel to a more intimate-upclose-Hollywood one. It's like watching your fave show for the first time all over again.

D - bonus - an unaired original show monologue. Glad they got rid of it - just waiting for that '80s A-team song to kick in at the end! <:
