[ I've always been mad, I know I've been mad ... ]

      Just thought I'd add my two cents to this news.  Our PBS station here
in Philadelphia started showing The Prisoner about 8 weeks ago, and I am 
enjoying it immensely.  It was recommended to me the last time it was shown
and I checked it out, but I was only a mere 13 years old at the time, and 
couldn't appreciate it.   Take note that episode 7 ("Many Happy Returns")
is exceptionally good -- the best of the series that I have seen so far,
so don't miss it if you haven't seen it.

          The only thing that bugs me about the show is ROVER, the balloon-
like entity which guards the perimeter of the village.  The way I see it, they
needed a believable way to keep the very clever No. 6 from escaping the 
island, but is this really believeable?  Or am I being unreasonably picky?
                               Any thoughts on this?
