The Prisoner was a very quirky show, which as a child I watched but was not yet equipped to fully understand and/or appreciate.
AMC has offered up a new remake miniseries. For those of you who watched the original (and for you youngins who never saw it but would like a better frame of reference), click on the pic above to view a pretty informative documentary on the original series.
I agree Bob, the remake sucked after about 15 minutes of it. The Original was a never miss for me. So was Star Trek.
It seems that the networks and hollyweed are the prisoners now.
Prisoners of their own device, no less.
One thing about the left — the lack of creativity abounds and is sometimes stunning in and of itself.
GMTA, Bob. Only I lasted for 15 minutes – your stomach must be stronger…
Oh, I *did* fast forward through some of it (hooray for DVR!) , but it still was drivel no matter where I stopped. Patrick McGoohan will never be mimicked, IMHO.

I started to watch the remake and moved on after 20 minutes or so.
I watched the ORIGINAL in England during the 60′s – and then watched the travesty that was on Cable.
Comapring the two was like comparing Obama and Bush. Only thing that was the same was the title…
Sorry, I thought the remake sucked.
