What Swanky Things are you Watching?

[mousepod]

If you dig the Prisoner (or even McGoohan), y'all should know that costco has the A&E "Megasets" for an awesome price, including:

The Prisoner - the whole series - 79.99
The Avengers - The complete Emma Peel (she of mega-swank) - 99.99
Secret Agent - the whole series - 99.99
... plus other stuff like Python, Space:1999 etc

Secret Agent (aka Danger Man) is particularly cool because a pre-Prisoner PM plays secret agent John Drake. It's a cool show, along the lines of the Saint etc. What made it more interesting is that it's the only spy show (that I know of) where the lead character does not carry a gun, which was at the insistence of star PM. Although never explicitly stated, it's generally accepted that No. 6 is at least partly John Drake.

...and as for my viewing pleasure, I just came back from my local Best Buy clutching the director's cut of Donnie Darko (a little wary because I really enjoyed the mystery of the theatrical version), Angel Season 5 (because I'm a completist), and Ray (the last Best Picture nominee that I have to see) among other things. Not a very swanky selection, I admit. Maybe I'll pop in some 60's Michael Caine when I get home...
