[78-L] For old timey TV fans..slight 78RPM connection

[Cary Ginell]

One of the most famous examples of a cult short-run series was "The Prisoner," which was only 17 episodes but now has a fan club ("Six of One") and a long-standing fan base. Loved that show.

There's also the 39 episodes of "The Honeymooners."
