I also found the 2 hour pilot as a torrent which aired in Canada but not in the U.S. (Storm Front or Episode 8 which was cut down to 45 mins). The quality was really bad. It had a couple of original touches. Bob only lived in the skull and had orange flickering eye lights. Harry had a basement lab.
I think it'll be tough to restart the show with one only a few years old, but I'll keep hoping. I have to say that I actually really liked Dresden rocking a drumstick and hockey stick as magical weapons.

I've really got to watch True Blood. But I didn't like the first book all that much so I haven't given it much thought. First on my list is Boardwalk Empire
