    Reminds me of a show called The Collector. Same concept, guy sells soul to Satan then is Satan's bitch for the next 600 years collecting the souls of others when their contract comes due.
    (just found Brimstone on Demonoid and am downloading now :devil:)

    I have come across a lot of cool shows that were short lived via torrents
    Some favs of mine...:2thumbsup:
    The Middleman, fucking good campy fun. Must see!! 1 season
    Dead Like Me, another great that was short lived. 2 seasons + movie
    Wonderfalls, also quirky comedy, pretty good though. 1 season

    Plus I'm pissed that they canceled The Legend of the Seeker. It was starting to get pretty good. :mad:

    When Havoc Struck

    It was a non-fiction TV show about disasters. I've never seen this show anywhere.

    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0077100/

    A reviewer gives a great description of the horrific-sounding theme music 'sting':

    "It was occasionally a little dry and a little pompous, and the presentation in general wasn't always that convincing (Glenn Ford sometimes got a little stilted), but my single clearest memory of the entire series is composer Harry Robinson's chilling "disaster sting", a ten-second theme of Hammond organ (?) and choir (sounding very much like a lost fragment of the music to "Picnic at Hanging Rock") which entered at the moment in the narrative where disaster struck and frequently left younger viewers (like me) with the hair on the backs of our necks standing on end. Fellow viewers of the series can surely hear it in their heads right now...!"

    I loved this show as a kid...I think I was about 8 or so. I'd forgotten that Roddy McDowall was in the cast.
