I never got into the original. Made it about three eps in, got bored. But I'll try Sir Ian in anything, so I'll set TiVo.
Uh, are we gonna fight, or is there just gonna be a monster sarcasm rally?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Amen to that. They could be making Do I Have enough Quarters for the Dryer, or Shall I Line Dry? and I'd tune in if I hear his voice in the promos.

Do I Have enough Quarters for the Dryer, or Shall I Line Dry?
Season 3 really jumped the shark, IMO.
It was the switch from Bounce to Snuggle dryer sheets.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
And remember that AU ep where he used dryer balls? Freak-Y.

I had the first ep of V on my dvr, but just kept looking at it in the queue and finally decided to delete it without watching. I just couldn't get up the interest to sit through it. Also, I don't need another show to get involved in--I have too many as it is.

(I blame the soap opera Santa Barbara from the late 80s.)
oh, how I loved Santa Barbara! Cruz Castillo was THE MAN. He was so much the man, he didn't even need a whole first name.
Haha. I'm calling it Ralph de Bricassart syndrome.
BWAH! I remember watching the Thunderbirds with my dad. I was only 10, so probably a little too young to be watching it, but that's why my dad was cool.
The new Prisoner is pretty freaking awesome. Just FYI.
I am totally looking forward to it. I did notice the lack of number tags during the previews. Those need to come back. And I LURVE Ian McKellan, but I like the way that Number Two kept changing every ep or so, the implication that when Number Two failed in their efforts to find out why Number Six resigned, they were replaced. But, I have faith in Sir Ian.

I feel you Kathy. If I didn't have such a deep and abiding love for the original, I probably wouldn't have been interested enough to come back.
Side note: reporter guy noted that all of the visitors were "what we would consider attractive" I wonder if the visitors in different cultures emphasized different attributes.
I was kind of disappointed that Alan Tudyk was a bad guy. He would have made a perfect Willie (or Willie type)

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Is the new Prisoner a mini-series? Seems that way based on the scheduling, but I might have thought the same for V...

oh, how I loved Santa Barbara! Cruz Castillo was THE MAN.
I think we've talked about this before but Cruz and Eden were my favorite couple ever. I quit watching once they broke up.
