For Better or Werts : TV Worth Watching

TAPE THIS: 'Profit' in its entirety Friday

Sorry for the late heads-up, but I just noticed Chiller is airing Adrian Pasdar's entire kinky Profit series Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET.

This is the utterly original 1996 Fox saga from David Greenwalt and John McNamara, about a sleekly amoral executive who sleeps naked inside a packing box with the TV forever on, when he isn't doing his junkie stepmother or killing to climb the corporate ladder.

You know. The usual.

(Or watch it on DVD with cool bonus features.)

Also in the Chiller rotation these days: Brimstone (a Saturday marathon), Strange World (Sunday marathon), Freakylinks, Kindred: The Embraced, and David Lynch's immortal Twin Peaks.

Diane Werts has been glued to the tube since she can remember, growing up in a household where the TV came on first thing in the morning and stayed on till bedtime and beyond. She worked for the USA Film Festival, then for The Dallas Morning News writing about everything from Shakespeare to macrame art to rock music (and has the hearing loss to prove it). She moved to New York's Newsday to edit their glossy TV magazine, then returned to writing about television, specializing in its stranger permutations. She's a past president of the Television Critics Association.
