I've been treating myself to The Prisoner on Amazon Prime every once in a while. It's still so good. I'm amazed at how well it has held up and how well I remember it. Like Star Trek TOS, each episode is burned in my mind and it makes me so happy to revisit them.
Weird story - when I was in high school, I frequented this memorabilia store that sold posters, lobby cards and scripts. A friend of mine got the script to The Prisoner through it and he loaned it to me before I saw the show (remember this was prior to video so I had to wait for the rerun). I read all the episodes before I saw them. I had this image in my mind's eye of how it all went and when I finally saw the show, it was even better than I imagined.
I just watched 'Schizoid Man' which remains one of my fav episodes of all time for any show. It's so brilliant in so many ways. There's even a sword fight - a fencing match between #6 & #12. I know we've all seen it before, but the rewatch is highly DOOM recommended.
