I've been watching them on IFC, if you get that channel.

A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

I don't know how long AMC is streaming the original series, but I'm hoping to watch it! I hope they keep it up for a while. Looks like CBS.com has kept Star Trek online, thankfully.

It's also on DVD, so Netflix is an option when AMC takes the eps down.

Do we know it's a "when" and not an "if"? CBS.com has kept up a lot of classic series online. And if the remake is supposed to be a backdoor pilot, they may want to keep it up for promotional purposes anyway.

CBS can keep Star Trek online because they own it. AMC has a license to stream The Prisoner, but if they want to keep it online forever they'll have to keep paying the rights-holders.

Sadly, I've put my Netflix on hold for 3 months to make up for my cable bill going up post-promotion. But, if there's no cost, I'll DVR On Demand for the next few days.

Oh! Thanks for the clarification. In that case, I will put the other shows I'm mainlining on hold and do The Prisoner posthaste!

Although this would be cool too, if there's no cost. Thanks for the heads-up. I keep forgetting that OnDemand has TV shows and sometimes for free.

I keep forgetting I can record them.
Most TV shows are free, except for NBC. I can't remember where The Prisoner was, but if it's AMC it should be free.

Wasn't it implied (although never directly said) that McGoohan's character in The Prisoner was the same guy he played in Secret Agent?
There's a bit in the penultimate episode where Leo McKern calls Number 6 "Drake" which was his Secret Agent character, but you really need to be paying attention to catch it.
