Paris is quickly ramping up its own camera system... Читать дальше...

Since the very first episode, but particularly throughout Season 4, Erlich struggled to live up to his own expectations for what his place in the tech world should be. The discrepancy between Erlich's lavish expectations and ramshackle reality even led him into such a deep depression this season that at one point he nearly killed himself by getting stoned and burning down his palapa.

Considering how many surprises Jerry had up his sleeves throughout the series -- including a supermodel wife... Читать дальше...
