There are Pretenders among us...

Do you have a question?

Jill

About the Pretender. Keep in mind, I’m a fan too. Occasionally, I know more than you think and I think I’ve rebuilt this site enough to have a lot of things memorized. I do keep meaning to rewatch it all but I wish it was all digital because pulling out...

Answering Questions

Jill

Somehow I’ve missed some correspondence from fellow pretenders out there. So I thought I’d just address them here as they are both questions all of us would like to know. Will the Graphic Novel every be released in full? That was the promise wasn’t it? We were told by the...

25th Anniversary of The Pretender

Jill

It has been 25 years since we first saw little Jarod say, “I’m finished!” I loved this show so much from day one. Back then you could go onto the NBC website which had a section of “offices” for Miss Parker, Broots, Sydney, etc and profiles for Jarod, Kyle and...

The Translators featuring Patrick Bauchau

Jill

French film The Translators sets Agatha Christie-style whodunnit in the book industry. The theft of a best-selling author’s unpublished manuscript sets off this glossy French whodunnit, a thriller with a nightmarish vision of freelance hotdesking that could easily have been a black comedy. The suspects are the book’s translators, holed...

Happy Birthday Harve Presnell

Jill

Happy Birthday to Harve Presnell, gone but not forgotten. Harve was in practically everything, or at least I saw him in a lot and anyone who was part of The Pretender became rather special to see anywhere. And wouldn’t you know he was born in Modesto, California which is George...

Happy Birthday George Lazenby!

Jill

Happy Birthday, George our Major Charles. I know he was a Bond at one point but the few times I’ve seen him in things… Jarod’s dad. The whole time you wonder about Jarod’s father I actually wondered who would have the presence to be Jarod’s dad. I think George did...

Happy Birthday Willie Gault!

Jill

Happy Birthday to Willie Gault who was Willie the Sweeper. Admittedly, I do not have great pictures of him from the show. If you do and you are willing to share, please do because I’ve had a tough time finding great ones and getting screen captures is also hard because...

Does anyone remember The Centre Exchange?

Jill

I’m curious if any Pretender fans out there remember The Centre Exchange which was part of the NBC’s Pretender site way back when the show was airing? I’m only curious because I wanted to see if I could find a screenshot or some kind of instance of it from way...

The Pretender Cast Almost 25 Years Later

Jill

Most Pretender fans already know this stuff but it came up in my Google alert so I thought I’d share it. The photos seem older in most cases but again I thought I’d share. Michael T Weiss and other former cast members of NBC’s “The Pretender” took different paths after...
