This past Sunday's episode of "The Simpsons" made extensive references to
"The Prisoner", including the giant orbs that chased down escapees. I tried
to explain it to my son-in-law but he'd never seen that British classic, or
"The Avengers", another quirky show in a similarly surrealistic vein.
Another example of how youth is wasted on the young who spend far too much
time watching crap like "Gilligan's Island."

with a paradox with little shiny sprinkles of bemusement on top."
