Yeah, I bought season I of Profiler and trust me, not even close to MM whatsoever. I watched the Pilot episode and have failed to watch any others.

Everything that has already been said is very true.....without question.

Yes,Sad Eyes, I've seen "Profiler" quite a few times. There is no comparison with MillenniuM. MM was much more raw, to the point, and it drew you into the characters. The plots were sublime, and the actors were supreme. Profiler doesn't hold a candle to MM. The characters are weak, the plots dry, and the entire ambiance of MM was no where to be found. It is funny how Profiler got so much airtime, but then again...it was playing to the "average American". MillenniuM lovers see through that, and know MillenniuM for what it was, and is. A beautiful show with likable characters that took delicate subjects and made them understandable. A show which had the cajones to step above the bar and deliver hard core reality (and not so real) to the masses, not just the "average American"-which sadly to say,is not a base group I would take recommendations from. So,in essense, comparing to two is like comparing apples to oranges...there is NO comparison! At least, that is my take on things. I could be wrong, but it's doubtful. :rofl:  :wtf:  :tongue:

Profiler aired longer and more successful than MillenniuM

not sure what you mean by more succesful[ly] than MillenniuM, but it only ran one year longer because the main actress left after the third season. My dad and I had a nickname for her - BadActress, all one word. It was odd that two shows with chacters with however you want to call the ability to see into the killer's mind began in the same year, and both were partially inspired by a movie called Fear (the 1990 movie, not the 1996 one). There were suspisions of espionage on someone's part, but I know CC didn't pull MillenniuM out of nowhere, and haven't really cared to investigate the impetus for Pofiler. Profiler beat MM to DVD, but that's about all it beat it in. The atmosphere of MM was much better, as some have said, as were the characters; and the stories weren't drawn from the repetitive 'cop show' scripts. The main 'evil' in Profiler was a crazy man obsessed (against all odds) with the main character (a woman, I can't remember what kind of title the job carried, like det. or not). And it really got old quickly - not just that character, the whole thing.

How many Profiler fans do you suspect are still discussing their show on the interweb right about now? (And if they are, I'm not sure I'd like it brought to my attention.) :fool:

- nothing

(coincidentally, Profiler and The Others ran back to back for a brief moment on NBC)

I may be repeating what is already well know information, but I believe CC pitched Millennium to the network saying that it would be alot like the movie Seven. I think it was on the season I dvd extras where there is discussion about CC being a big Silence of the Lambs fan as well as a fan of Seven, and that he wanted to combine many of these elements into Millennium.

FK.
