My girlfriend still hates me for making her watch this show but it still is one of my favorites.






Any love for this show in this haunt? Anyone else think the remake sucked?

Love The Prisoner.

Our entire family used to watch it on PBS in the 70's, and they always had this guy commenting on the social implications of each particular episode at the end. Very useful and interesting. Wish I could get ahold of those commentaries.
I got the wife into the habit of watching it a few years back when it was broadcast on BBC America. She dug it too.

The remake was a pathetic joke. Big surprise.

My girlfriend HATED the end. And I mean hated. I tried to explain to her that it was a metaphor but there was nothing doing. My punishment was being forced to watch the first season of Gossip Girl.

There were rumors of Nolan doing a film version of the Prisoner a while ago. That probably won't happen and I can't imagine it ever working in just a movie. You'd need a series in my opinion.

I'd totally cast Kiefer Sutherland as 6 if it were Americanized.
