Excellent news — the late-1960s television show, “The Prisoner,” is being released on DVD. Currently two DVD sets containing the first six episodes have been released in the United States, with the rest of the episodes to be released by October 2001.
What’s the big deal about “The Prisoner”? The Prisoner Appreciation Society has all the details about the series, but to my mind it is easily the best science-fiction/fantasy television series ever and one of the best television series, period.
