And That is the Pretender. Well, sort of, the 2 movies that are going to be released after NBC canceled the Pretender will be out soon but at least they did something similar to what they did with MacGyver. But anyway, The Pretender is still a great show and is delighted for people to enjoy!

I have all of the "Pretender" collection...and like the previous 3, season 4 was/is just as intriguing. If you don't own it, you should...especially if you're a fan of the show. My only regret, is that there won't be more...unless I'm mistaken, this was the final season. Too bad all the really great shows are cast aside.

I am no writerist type but here it is... I enjoyed this season the most of the four I bought the first season to show my wife and now have all four of them one of the best shows on TV ever

I really enjoyed all four seasons of the Pretender. I fell it is a shame that in the last show we see a set up for season five, and then they didn't get a renewal for season five. Where is the integrity of the network? If you are going to cut funding to a program that has had a four season run, don't you think it would be nice to have a special to close all the loops? I think there should be a 2 hours special to close out the series, before all the actors are any older. I think this should be a requirement for all TV series programs.

wonderful series with awful finale that resolved nothing -- smooth transaction

How is posible that a series with 4 seasons and 2 movies still not have any ending?? It's like you reading a book and when you turn the page the rest are all blank, let you in the middle of nowhere. Dont misunderstanding, the series is good and the characters are amazing, especially my favorite: Miss Parker. I blame the Pretender's writers because they ruin the story with to much secrets and never answer anything, they complicate the story to much and in some way started to be annoying. They kill the series and the movies, increasing the problem instead find a perfect ending. It's like they never knew how to ended. When the series was cancel the creators and writers announce 4 movies to end the story but the lack of ratings they just produced 2 of them, and even that they not did an ending, can you believe it??. All story needs an ending, a closer, no matter is a good ending or fatal ending, just need one. So if you was a fan of this series, well you can pass this, but if you are someone like me, someone who likes to see drama or supense but like to watch the story with a proper begin and a proper ending, so this series is not for you. I blame myself for not doing a proper search to stop me to buy it. I dont like story with not closure,let you a bad taste...I hope I can help somebody...

This is the fifth Pretender dvd order I have made. All of them have froze up and skipped at least two or three places

If you liked this TV series, it's great to watch the "reruns" without commercial interruption. The video quality is great on my Panasonic plasma HD TV.

I just love this show! The pretender was different from everything out there. It broke my heart when it went off the air. Same goes with Crossing Jordan! Miss those shows!
So, if you have not seen them, get the DVD and enjoy! They are excellent

Haven't seen this show since i was a kid...i remember it being good that was the reason i bought ALL the seasons. After buying them I couldn't stop watching them they were that good. Episode after episode I wanted to see what was next. Lets just say i slept less after i bought these. This is a must see...if you remember the show buy it and if you don't buy it you'll enjoy it.
