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? -- David J. Iannucci (the dirty vicar) St. Joseph's University {allegra | astrovax | bpa | burdvax}!sjuvax!iannucci Philadelphia "A witty saying proves nothing.
