If you haven’t seen The Prisoner yet, you may want to skip the first fifteen or so minutes of this podcast, because we talk about the whole damn thing this week. Jason Hughes and Allison Waldman join me to talk about the AMC remake of the British cult classic, as well as these topics:
- After the deaths of Edward Woodward and Ken Ober, why ’80s TV suddenly seems so old,
- Soap news, mainly a discussion of James Franco’s guest stint on General Hospital,
- Another dip into our Ask TV Squad mailbag, where we discuss the use of laugh tracks and why multi-camera shows are written differently than single-camera shows,
- Our picks for the week, and much more.
Run time is 1:02:55.

As usual, the music at the beginning and end of the podcast is “Life” by Justin Trawick. Though I decided to add a small surprise at the beginning, a call-back to an interview I did a few years ago. Hope you enjoy it.
