You Only Think You're Free

Tonight, AMC premieres their "The Prisoner" remake miniseries.

I've been looking forward to this for some time, and even bringing up my appreciation of the original series from time to time...

I'm hoping they don't mess it up. I'm happy to see they've included "Rover," and hope there are more nods to the original.

But then, as I've disclosed before, I'm an ornery originalist on just about everything:

I'm still livid with "Gunsmoke" for replacing Chester with Festus. Candy was an interloper who should have been driven off the Ponderosa--or better yet, hanged for Adam's disappearance. Who the hell are Ernie and Uncle Charlie, how did they get into the Douglas house on "My Three Sons," and what the hell did they do with Mike and Bub (I'm suspecting pod people here)? And "Zorro"--dude, you dress in black to evade pursuit on dark nights. What bad mescal could you have possibly been drinking to think replacing black Tornado with white Phantom was a tactically sound idea?

As for tonight? I guess I'll see.

Be seeing you. And it.
