He was not a number- RIP Patrick McGoohan

Postby Graham » 15 Jan 2009, 02:18

What the hell 2009? We're not even a month in, and we're already down Ricardo Montalban and Patrick McGoohan?! Dammit.

The Prisoner was such an awesome show.

I just watched the entire thing again now that it's available online.

I'll miss Number 6... That was such an amazing series.

I'm worried that 2009 will be just as bad as 2008.

Unfortunately, it can't be viewed in Canada.
Low quality Youtube sketches? Amazing!

Or England by the looks of things.

That's stupidly ironic.

Fixed that for you - American Movie Classics probably couldn't secure broadcast rights (or afford to do so) for all the world, so they force us to bounce through U.S. proxies...the series is awesome, but I just don't have the energy to set that up at present. Maybe in a week or two...

My roommate and I had just downloaded the series when I heard the news. I'd never seen it, but I'm really enjoying it so far.
