The summer of ’68, my last summer living in Connecticut, I was glued to a particular show on the family’s 1-year-old 23″ RCA color console TV. It was exactly like the set, apparently broken, seen in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
The show that captivated me was The Prisoner, a British 17-episode limited series that aired Saturday nights on CBS. I’m in the middle of reacquainting myself with the series, which is currently available for free on Amazon IMDB TV. The first episode is on YouTube.
P.S. I loved that show, too! It was creepy. Of course, Patrick was easy on a preteen girl’s eye. I remember that white balloon thing rolling after him.
I never would have caught the TV! I think I told you, but in “Apollo 13” Jim Lovell’s teenage daughter walks around through a lot of the movie shouldering the exact same beautiful braided leather strap pocketbook with tooled color flowers that Mom let me get at the Burlington mall when I was in high school. I carried that thing all the way through college, then lost track of it!
