Jim Profit from Profit
In my entire life thus far, I have only campaigned to save two shows. Profit and Legend of the Seeker. It was a show that I still believe was too ahead of it's time to be a good ratings grab. It was like Patrick Bateman brought to life, only with less hookers, and more backstory. We never get but hints of why Bateman is a psychopath, with Profit, we see how Jim Profit became the twisted individual he is.
David Greenwalt (of Angel and Buffy fame) created Jim Profit and with the help of tv heavyweights like Stephen Cannell (most famous for The A-Team) and John McNamara (Lois and Clark, Jericho, In Plain Sight), he brought this dark and twisted character to the screen. I know James Marsters confirmed that Angel was Greenwalt's idea but if you watch Profit, it's SO easy to see where Angel's beige period came from as well as Angelus' bloody past.
(And if you do decide to watch Profit, look out for Keith Szarabajka (Holtz). You won't recognize his voice at all. LOL)
