That sucks, the producers have mentioned that the first couple episodes where cut rather extensively to get the show to air on fox, they would have been nice to see... as well as commentaries would have been good.

I can see why it was cancelled though. If I had seen the first episode when it aired I wouldn't have watched any further.

I had high hopes for this show when I read that Buffy's Marti Noxon was one of the creators, but it never quite did it for me and I gave up on it a week before it got cancelled.

I also gave up on Firefly when that was originally aired, because FOX destroyed it and made it virtually impossible to follow. When I finally watched that on DVD I loved it, so I'm hoping for more of the same with PP.
Right now I am on the fence whether to just rent this or buy/trade for it, so I'm interested to read your review when its up.

If you decide to unload your copy once you are done with your review, feel free to take a look at my trade list and make me an offer if anything interests you.

Thanks

Rental it is. Only on three discs....so...to see the un-aired shows only two rentals at $5 each as oppossed to a buy at $30ish.

This set is a waste of money and time. The show had no focus and was poorly written. It was essentially a non-scary B horror movie spanding 13 episodes. The cast wasn't even that good either. All B-List actors: Grant Show, Richard Burgi.
