The Prisoner

I didn't mean to give the impression I didn't think the show was excellent. I do. But I've heard a number of people proclaim it the greatest TV series of all time, which I think is overstating the case just a tad. I even saw DVD box set of the series proclaim it "Television's First Classic!" Come on.

I absolutely love The Prisoner. It's mindblowing that something so surreal, so forward thinking was shown on TV at the time. Hell, this series would probably be conssidered daring if it aired today.

Agreed. Again, like any classic series over 30 years old, how much you enjoy it is a matter of when you see it as much as the show itself.

People seeing it for the first time now have 30+ more years of pop culture imitators already in their brains.

When you watched it the summer it was first broadcast in the US, it was downright mindblowing.

This is precisely correct.
