Its a piece of classic literature about how people manipulate each other.
Its just about somebody whos imaginative, like Roger, coming up with a new idea around it.
Sean Patrick Thomas, who played Ronald, agrees.

What made [Cruel] work was Roger Kumbles vision.
And Kumble hashadideas, to be sure.
One of these days, I think we should just put that pilot out, Kumble says.
Im so proud of it.
Much of the cast feels the same way.
Youd really be asking the audience to ignore the original.
Even Gellar, who reprised Kathryn in the NBC pilot, echoes that assessment.
[The pilot] was more about timing, she concedes.
[Cruel] was just such a perfect combination of so many things.
You cant recreate it.
Adds Selma Blair, who played Cecile: It would be almost sad to revisit it.
That said, one cast member does find the idea of returning to his role intriguing.
