The Prisoner on AMC Takes A Dump! [Cinema Static]

by on November 19, 2009

in Entertainment, television

The Prisoner on AMC had a strong premiere showing.  The show pulled in over 2 million viewers for its premiere.  Yet the subsequent night, it barely pulled in a million pairs of eyeballs.

I think I know how AMC snagged in over 2 millions viewers.  I happened to have watched their Matrix trilogy airings.  Yes, I used plural.  I’ve been sick and watching a lot of TV, much to my chagrin in some cases.

I think AMC plotted this premiere of The Prisoner very carefully.  They aired a popular movie series and with every single commercial break, they pummeled you with at least 2 ads for The Prisoner.  At least.  And in EVERY COMMERCIAL BREAK.  Or at least by the end of the weekend, that’s what it felt like.

I had seen so many ads that I recorded The Prisoner, looking to take a break from the show before it even started.  If you like brain-teaser with a message, I’m sure you’re doing well with the show.  But it gave me the feeling of LOST, but not.  If that even makes sense.

Maybe Monday Night Football dinged the viewer numbers.  There’s always the 7-day delayed viewer numbers that might prove otherwise to the lack of interest… even if the series is getting flogged by some reviews out.  Any SoB readers catch the show?  What did you think of it if you did?

I’d love a guest review!
