   Well, not to belabor the point *too* much, but Fawlty Towers was   
   absolutely sublime compared to either one of those other two shows.   
      
   And I have to hand it to your Brits: there has never been *anything* on   
   television to equal "The Prisoner", and I doubt there will be in my   
   lifetime.
