The LA Times did a McGoohan obituary in which it was recited that "The Prisoner" had aired on American TV in the summer of '68, and then again in reruns in '69. I wrote in to one Dennis McClellan to correct the dates -- it was '67 and again in '68, as a summer replacement for the Jackie Gleason Show -- and was treated in reply to a list of treatises and authorities that gave the date of the initial American airing as '68. A search of the web initially revealed elements of the same conspiracy, until I found two articles: one confirming that the series had been filmed in Wales in the fall of '66 (not '67, as McClellan represented), and yours. Thanks for confirming that I haven't yet embarked on what Ronald Reagan called "the long goodbye" -- and for penning a fine and fitting tribute to character and actor alike.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10214458.post-56442653065482375412009-01-17T12:14:00.000-08:002009-01-17T12:14:00.000-08:00My aunt is watching the series now on DVD and she ...My aunt is watching the series now on DVD and she says that it still holds up.

One thought it had to be someone's dream you were watching, since it was a universe from which ultimately there was no escape. Current shows with "circular" kind of closed end themes, like "Lost" (which I didnt watch often) seemed more obvious in there efforts. I guess The Prisoner was fresh, like a Twilight Zone for its time, dreamlike, paranoid and yet you wondered whether such things could exist in fact in "the free world". as we see in guantanamo, they sure can..thanksBrooklyn Beathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02765441867776930279noreply@blogger.com
