Admit it, you kind of miss Richard Rubin. You never got enough of watching Lauren Bergfeld do math � well, trying to do math. You can't help but smile just thinking about that time the geeks pitched a tent.

Every frame of the series� first season will get the encore treatment so you can see it all, from the tire-changing to the massaging, the runway show to the rocket launch. Watch those geeks go shopping and you will no longer be scared by your tour of duty among the Christmas crowds.
