The Prisoner has left us.
God, how I loved the show when I was a teenager. It aired on the local PBS station--late Saturday night, as I remember--and I would curl up on the sofa in the darkened living room to watch it, enthralled. Dave gave me the series on DVD a few years ago and I haul it out whenever I start to feel that it's impossible to be human in the modern world.

I JUST saw this- and had to comment.

Isaac has The Prisoner ringtone for his phone; we all watched it, and also have the set.
A sad day.
I remember that show well, and most of the dreck on TV now isn't as good. May he RIP.
ReplyDeleteI should have known your household would be fans, Chaya. Subversives, all of us.
ReplyDeleteI loved the themes of the show, but it didn't hurt that McGoohan was so attractive--and his Burton-like voice was pretty irresistible.
