Culture Jammin’: The Prisoner
By Ted Berg - Nov 18, 2009 6:20 pm

Did anyone watch The Prisoner miniseries on AMC? It’s a remake of a series from the 1960s, presented in three two-hour installments, or, depending on how you like to divide things, six one-hour installments. It aired Sunday, Monday and Tuesday of this week, but it will be re-aired starting on Sunday.

I feel that way about a couple other athletes, but usually they’re the ones who are epically great, guys like Albert Pujols and [...]

Items of note
