The Avengers AND The Prisoner on BBCAmerica
Starting tonight... The Avengers, The Saint, and the Prisoner (from Episode 1). Without BBC America I'm not sure I'd ever watch tv!

2. I love all three shows
too bad we don't have cable.

You're talking Roger Moore as the Saint, and not that early 80's "Return of the Saint" with Ian Ogilvy, right?

15. Now that there's a woman and a half!
Take your Paris Hilton, take Jessica Simpson, you can have Anna Nicole Smith (most likely).

Second only to my wife, Emma Peale is a real woman.

RRRRarf!

7. Patrick McGoohan was a hunk!

10. The Prisoner Was Always Too Predictable for Me
not too much fun watching a show where you knew the protagonist would be fucked at the end of every episode.

13. The Prisoner is a true television classic
I haven't seem it since 1979 or so, when one of the Yale film societies ran midnight showings of an episode per week, and from what I've seen so far, it still holds up well.

14. Yes! Finally
Don't get me wrong, I dearly love those endless marathons of Changing Rooms, Ground Force, and When Changing Rooms Met Ground Force,, but it's nice to see that BBCA is finally using its resources to get decent shows...
