So I just received in the mail today my box set containing every episode of The Prisoner (glee!) starring Patrick McGoohan.
Question: Does anyone else know/love this obscure classic?

*waves hands wildly* I DO!!!
My dad has the whole series (I think). I've only seen one episode myself, the one where they get into his brain and he's dreaming that he's at a party or something and they can see what he's dreaming on the screen...that was pretty cool.

Oooooooh.... "A, B, and C" was the name of that episode. It's my favorite!

I remember it. Hard to take it seriously when he's being chased by bouncing rubber balls when he tried to escape
But in fairness I only saw it once or twice

Such a good, good series even if the final episode is truly bizarre. The Simpsons parody is superb as well.

I seen it when it first came to American TV. One wild show. The ending is even wilder.

Yes, at a resort whose name I have forgotten.
Incidentally, does anyone remember 'Nowhere Man'? To a large extent it was inspired by The Prisoner and was also a pretty good show (even if it was never aired at a consistent time).
