The Pretender (TV Series) Cold Dick (2000) User Reviews

The funniest episode of the whole series!

[stavrosalo · 9/10 · 24 June 2019]

It was without a doubt the funniest episode of the whole series, I loved it, specially the scenes between Ms. Parker and Broots at the hotel, and the scene of Mr. Raines was so entertaining and funny. What an episode!

Every TV drama series needs...

...a comedy episode. This was The Pretender's. Well-done spoof of a much-spoofed genre and you can tell the actors had fun making it. Little touches all the way through show the production crew had fun too. A cartoonishly formed double scoop pistachio ice-cream cone that stays chill in the Vegas sun was my fave. The way you always knew what was coming next, about a half second before it actually happened tells us the director enjoyed himself as well. Even the dog was having a good time.

This episode deserves a higher rating. It's the best one in the series.

Jarod's brilliant character wasn't so brilliant in this episode

[hamilton_and_me · 5/10 · 15 May 2022]

I love most of the episodes of The Pretender and think it's brilliant writing the way he becomes so many professional occupations and how he catches the bad guys but when it comes to sexual content I'm just in the minority of people that don't think it adds anything to a well written show. I say minority because I realize most viewers like that kind of content.

Also, after that guy (forgot his character name) almost got Jarod killed I wouldn't think Jarod would be so quick to come across as being so stupid in the other episodes he was in with him where the guy was always getting Jarod in trouble. I gave this episode 5 stars for the dog LOL.

What's a hero without a pest?

Analogy - Argyle is to Jarod as Angel was to Jim Rockford. The best thing about his return was seeing Kenneth Mars play his dad.
