Does Anyone remember this TV series which revolved around a young man named Jarod, who was abducted from his parents as a child and raised by an organisation called "The Centre". Jarod's handlers at the Centre used his beyond-genius IQ to train him to become a "Pretender", someone who can integrate himself into any walk of life, who can become an expert in any field - no matter how complex.

I loved this show. I watched it every week and when I could find it on re-runs I watched it then. It was always fascinating how he would become someone new but also how he was learning so much about life in general. Things we took for granted that he had no clue about. It was always interesting to see what he'd be learning about in the new week. I liked also how they made the "bad" guys not so bad. I mean like Parker. They showed her in some different lights so that we understood her better. Yes the center was bad, no two ways around that one but the people working for them weren't always that way. I also liked when he guest stared on Profiler a couple of times. It was a nice cross over effect.

I just love this show. I used to catch the shows from time to time but my work schedule was causing me to miss most of them. Now I have a dvr & I'm getting to watch them in order. Stupid dvr has missed 2 episodes though, so I know I missed something good. When it skipped, I found out on the next episode that Jarod got Angelo out of the center. Talk about mad at the cable company. :D
Anyone care to fill me in on that one? It was the episode just before Jarod & Ms Parker found out they weren't related afterall. lol :)
