I recently discovered this web series spoof of 1960s spy films about a red-masked spy, “Super7even,” and his allies at T.H.E.M fighting the forces of Evil, represented by T.H.E.Y. The episodes are available on YouTube.
Here’s one particularly unusual tribute to Patrick McGoohan’s iconic series, “The Prisoner”: Episode 16 (the first and ONLY Season 3 episode)…”The Captive”. Watch and shake your head!


Now that you’ve cried UNCLE…on to The Overnight Open Thread!

Odd. I’m kind of out of words for this one, as it is pretty much self-explanatory, but here’s a fun fact. Remember “Rover” from the great TV series “The Prisoner?” Yep, that’s him in his first film role — barely 20 at the time.

Of course his most memorable role came 11 years later. Patrick McGoohan and Rover were roommates/fellow pub-crawlers when McGoohan suggested that he try for the part, and the rest is history.

That’s just one more piece of the big trivia puzzle known as The Overnight Open Thread.
