from one who's been
I was on the show last year. Did the online audition sometime in the summer of '07. Got called for an in-person audition in November. Got a call in January, taped in February (came in 2nd), aired in April. It was fun and something I'd thought about doing since I was a kid. If you want to try…

"Mark, must you live in the real world quite so relentlessly?"

and of course
Brett Favre!

The show would be pretty hard to recap, especially the last two eps.

AMC is remaking it as a miniseries with Jim Caviezel and Ian McKellen. They've also made every episode of the original available for free on their website.

I used to post as #6 until the new boards denied my keeping the name. He was the man in Braveheart and surprisingly hilarious on The Simpsons as the Prisoner.

Fucking hell. Rest in peace, you truly were No. 1.
