Best. Series. Ever.
Grab a 24-pack, a fifth, or a coupla' bottles of wine, and watch them all back-to-back. Much fun.

The Show Opening is the best ever. And the theme music IMHO is one of the best scores for a TV show ever done.

Truly best series ever. I’ve visited the Village/Portmeirion twice, staying there once. There were NO lights at night, and I walked through the deserted village in the dark down the path from one of the iconic buildings where my room was to the sole phone booth — long before cell phones. Never will forget it.

Remember when he supposedly was able to get out but then heard a bell chime and realized he was still in the same time zone. What a good series.

I was with my parents, on vacation in a boring hotel on Cape Cod, when I saw the first episode of
The Prisoner. It must have been the summer of 1968, so I was about to enter eighth grade.
As I watched the first episode on the hotel television set, I became totally hooked. My first question was "what is this, some Massachusetts thing?" My second question was "what if they don't have this on TV back home."
But they did. When we got home I was able to watch again and again, all summer long.
For many years, the spinning geometric I-T-C logo that preceded each episode gave me a thrill whenever I happened to see it, even though it never again foretold a reappearance of that remarkable television series.

No! “The Saint,” with the young Roger Moore! Followed by the “Man from U.N.C.L.E” series! Just have plenty of booze, because they are funnier that way!

He “got out” at the end of every episode.
The final episode literally made no sense. Actually, the entire show!

All I know is, if Trump doesn’t win, we’ll all have to answer to a big, fat number two!

The whole thing seemed like a big LSD trip.

In the 90s my philosophy professor borrowed my vhs tape of “The Prisoner” with Harlan Ellison’s commentary. I received it back with it taped over with “Faulty Tower” episodes. Both made me love UK tv when it was decent.

Someone in Ohio has KAR12OC as their license plate. I was considering getting it as a custom plate and saw it was available, but then checked later when my time to replace my plate and it was taken.

LOL—Just try to get Illinois BDR 529 (Blues Brothers). Won’t happen. I might try, now that I’m in Michigan—fat chance.
