    I second that!

    I just bought season one of Dexter and watched it over two days. It kept reminding me of Profit.

    I have the DVDs, and one thing I noticed was that the character Jim Profit was trying to convey to the rest of the company was like a classic clip-art drawing of plucky enterprise personified.

    They should revive this as a musical.
