Wow. I really enjoyed that. Thank you to everyone who was involved in getting it online for us!

It makes me sad that the series has been finished now for so long... the golden years of TV.

Thanks Sam & JJ! That was really great!!
A couple things I learned:
1. Chris Abbott is a woman. I always assumed Abbott was a guy.
2. Don't ever pass out at a party at Larry Mannetti's place. Funny story.
3. Roger Mosley may not have been as nice a guy as I thought, at least at first. I was sorry he did not participate in this story.
4. Higgins is Robin. Wait, I guess that is just my take on it.
Thanks again. Any chance a copy (DVD) can be made available?

So if I got this right they would shoot a whole season in 8 months and 4 months off. Tom must of been a busy guy shooting movies in between seasons.

And during the show he often work 80 to 90 hour weeks. If you do the math that's about 11.5 to 12.8 hours each day on average.

So it was a very busy 8 years! Whew!

LOL! :)

How strange that must have been; waking up and finding yourself underneath a car! I guess you just brush yourself off and think, "I don't want to know how I got here!"

It makes you wonder if he was telling the truth to his wife when he denied the reports of his partying and philandering ways..............

Thanks so much for posting this. It was the perfect way to break in my new laptop. It even got my 14-year old son's attention, dragging him away from Facebook to watch ... and then he insisted on watching the 1st 3 episodes on DVD. Perfect mother-son bonding experience for Mother's Day!

Thanks J.J. and Sam! I hadn't seen this either and was eager to see what all the brouhaha was about!

I agree with the comments on here in regards to some of the actors. Sometimes it's best that the person behind the character is left unknown. But, having said that, I'm glad I watched it. I can't wait to watch the series...again!

Thanks so much for the effort it took to get this online. I really enjoyed it.

Funny how Rick is basically based on Manetti himself. No wonder he still loves the character!
