Starting tonight, the TV channel AMC is airing a remake of The Prisoner. Alas, it's only six episodes long; 1 hour per episode. Alas and alack, AMC has decided that the shows should start tonight here in Arizona at 9:00 PM; and to run a two-pack of them back-to-back for three nights. That means staying up till 11:00 PM on three consecutive worknights.
.
Are you AMC folks #%$^$ nuts?!?! I loved the original series when it aired some 40-odd years ago. But staying up even one night until 11:00 turns me into a zombie the next day. There's no way I'd survive three nights in a row keeping those kind of hours.
.
And FWIW, I predict Ian McKellen, the new "Number Two" is going to steal the show. He looked diabolically awesome in a trailer that AMC ran this morning.
