Was that the strange show with giant ball chasing that guy all the time?

I discovered The Prisoner in the 70’s, when I was stationed in Germany. I’ve been a fan ever since. I’ve rented the series from Netflix, and re-watched them, also.

Can’t wait for the remake.

Thanks for the post.

(Remake of 60s TV Show The Prisoner)

Now I know I'm becoming an old codger.

Because I'm gonna' sound like one when I say "I don't think this
is a very good idea."

(but if I'm wrong, I'll be quite happy to see a "Prisoner" redux)

A few years back they ran the Prisoner on some station. I thought it was pretty stupid.

Not sure it's that great an idea either, frankly. The Prisoner had more double entendres and undercurrents than any contemporary show including The Avengers, which I adored. Brilliant stuff, really. I recall a scene in which Number 6 was convincing an art committee that the boat he'd just build to escape The Village was really a piece of primitive modern art. Same sort of profound-sounding BS you still hear in art museums.

The big question remains unanswered but every fan has his or her opinion - was it "You are Number 6" or "You are, Number 6"? One little comma.

Some of the episodes are truly timeless. Others are so painfully dated they'll never make the screen. The one with the computer, for example, that he defeats by typing the single question "Why?" and feeding the paper into the slot...ugh. Now, if he'd fed it a Vista boot disk and it blew up...
