Assalam-u-Alaikum,

Sorry... but what is 'The Pretender' about... am i right when i say that the Merchants of cool is a documentary about teen-marketing?  Not that it matters... i dont get amreekan channels here anyway.

I have this vague memory about the pretender being an fbi agent who can read other's minds or something.  correct me if im wrong

Wassalam-u-Alaikum

Uzer, i think you're talking about a show called Millennium. Pretender is quite different. The acquaintance in America who used to tape it for me got married so thats come to an end now.

The Pretender has gotten very very boring. When will they ever rap up this show. Last week I was watching it, and Jared "finally" meets up with his mom. Turns out he also has a sister, and another brother (whatever happened to the clone?)

Point is the story has become lame hehe. I can tape it but I thought in Britain they run on Pal Secam. So unless you have a dual video tape system, one that supports NTSC and Pal Secam I don't think it will work.

Merchants of Cool sounds interesting.

Assalam ualykum,

I watched the documentary "merchants of Cool". Unfortunately I did not tape it. Wow. That was good and so enlightening. I am not going to have to order it. this is something worth buying I think.

It's this show about this genius guy who escaped from this place and doesn't know where his family is. It's called the pretender because he can take on any role, IE doctor, engineer, mechanic etc

I would have loved to hear Sheykhna Hamza commenting on The Merchants of Cool , and i dont mean those 10 minutes talk,

that's just a comment.. since it was a good one, depicting the essence of the " Trend ". :)
