Now The Prisoner is my favorite 60s series and one of my all-time favorite tv series. I should be skeptical about this and avoid catching it when it does air. However, I'm willing to give it a chance and see how it will be interpreted.

One of the best TV shows ever IMO

And I am sure they will have a hard time improving on it

One of my favorite scenes from the original...

Wonder if the remake will have that same surreal-ness to it.

From what I understand, this new series will be reflecting the current social/political climate in it's theme.

I'm going to put my helmet on and get my barf bag ready for this hardcore suckfest.

(Can you tell I have lowered expectations?)

Can they keep up with the perpetual mind-screw that the original series is known for?

Christopher Eccleston could do it. Jack Coleman (the guy who played "Noah Bennet" on "Heroes") could do it (or play a GREAT Number Two). If you got the guys who put together "Nowhere Man" together with the guys that put together "Heroes," you could get a really incredible show.

The BIG problem is where you would SET the damn thing!

Thread necromancy but the series has made its debut last night. Hopefully, there will be several rebroadcasts as I missed it. Anyone else catch it? Again, it can't touch the original but I'm still willing to give this series "re-imagining" a chance.

      What are you about to go do?

      By TronRP · Posted

      About to head up to Roseville to return this rental and pick up my truck from the auto shop.  It is supposedly sporting a newly fabricated frame rail...I don't think they are referred to as "chassis" anymore as I see the confusion in shop owner's eyes when they ask me if I'm looking for "body work?".   But I do find it interesting that I told the owner that I worked direct with OEM parts and yet he still wrote me up an invoice with overpriced OEM parts from companies I used to host at the place I used to work for.  With that said, I'm expecting a stellar job for the amount I paid.   ...else, there will be some talk negotiations.

      ~~~~~ Definitely wishing you luck.  Do enjoy yourselves.   But I have to admit, the first thing that came to mind was does roadside assistance reach the desert? 😬

      ~~~~~ Yeah, it's like something happened to my metabolism this past Winter and when I came out of hibernation, that AARP Join Request started looking like something to check into.

      This 👆 definitely goes with what I said in my other post - getting old sucks. Seems like *everything* takes longer and takes more energy out of me than it used to. Really need to work on my diet and exercise, I've found the older I get, the more important those things have really become...
