Dear AMC

by jaybushman November 24, 2009

I’m through 5 out of 6 episodes of your remake of the Prisoner. Still formulating my thoughts on it, but I have one question:

What on Earth possessed you to show it 2 at a time over 3 consecutive nights? Who’s got time to devote that much attention over such a short span? It definitely diminishes the viewing experience. I’d have much rather had 6 consecutive weeks.

Or do you agree with most of the public opinion that it’s not very good, and was this a way to dump it as quickly as possible?


PSA: AMC HD Available Early on TWC in Our Hood

We subscribe to Time Warner Cable. A couple of weeks ago we received a letter stating that we’d finally get AMC in HD mid-December. Jay’s comment at the time was, “Great.  Just in time for me to not be watching Mad Men.” Kid’s got a point there, Valerie.

AMC’s re-Prisonering starts Sunday. I started scrolling through channels to see if by chance AMC HD happened to us sooner than expected. IT DID. It’s #479 on our lineup in downtown Los Angeles. Here endeth the public service announcement.
