Electic list! Well, I was going to ask if you had a list of top five scifi/spec fiction shows, and then a separate mainstream topic shows, but I see you combine the two. Indeed, only Twilight Zone on your list really spends a great deal of time in the realms we call scifi or the supernatural.
Ever seen "Homicide: Life on the Street"? Awesome show, one of my top five easily in the non scifi genre. I hear that "The Wire", done by the same people, is even better. -------------- Original message -------------- From: "Omari Confer" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 1.Twin Peaks 2.I Love Lucy 3.Twighlight Zone 4.The Prisoner 5.The Cosby Show On 8/26/08, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: What are the other four TV shows?

I watched it as a child, late night, all by myself. Be interesting to see how I'd like it now as an adult. I do remember that crazy white ball that trapped people sacred the heck out of me. And that tall dude in black who gassed the Prisoner in his London flat gave me the willies too. -------------- Original message -------------- From: "Tracey de Morsella" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Prisoner Details Hinted AMC's general manager Charlie Collier told SCI FI Wire that the cable network's upcoming reboot of the classic 1960s British SF series The Prisoner will have some familiar elements. "I don't really think of it being sci-fi, but it has the elements of the Village and the gadgetry," Collier said in an interview at the Television Critics Association press tour on July 9 in Beverly Hills, Calif. Collier wouldn't reveal much more about how the show is being updated, but he offered one big spoiler: The giant white ball, Rover, will be part of the new show. Rover was a big part of the TV series; it will be part of it. We can't talk about it extensively now--it will get me in trouble," Collier said. The Prisoner, AMC's second original miniseries, combines espionage, thriller and science fiction and will star Jim Caviezel as Number Six, a part originated by Patrick McGoohan. McGoohan served as the creato r, producer, writer and director of the 1960s series. Lord of the Rings star Ian McKellen will play Number Two, Six's boss and the man who apparently controls the mysterious Village in which he is trapped. "We got Jesus and Gandalf!" Collier said. "What better cast could we get for those two characters than Ian McKellen and Jim Caviezel? It will be a limited series, that's how we could get those guys. But it is extensive; it is six hours." Caviezel played Jesus in The Passion of the Christ and was in genre films such as The Final Cut, The Count of Monte Cristo, Frequency and the upcoming Outlander. McKellen was nominated for an Academy Award for his role as the wizard Gandalf in The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring and was Magneto in the X-Men movies. Collier promised that the two actors would talk about the miniseries during a future TV press tour. The Prisoner isn't on AMC's schedule until 2009. --Mike Szym a nski http://www.scifi.com/scifiwire/index.php?category=0&id=57430 [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] -- cwm blog http://centralheatingblog.blogspot.com STRING THEORY http://www.stringtheory.mypodcast.com -- cwm blog http://centralheatingblog.blogspot.com STRING THEORY http://www.stringtheory.mypodcast.com
