For general discussion and debate. Possible talking point: Patrick McGoohan dead at 80.

Patrick McGoohan, a two-time Emmy Award-winning actor who starred as a British spy in the 1960s TV series "Secret Agent" and gained cult status later in the decade as the star of the enigmatic series "The Prisoner," has died. He was 80.

Any "Prisoner" fans out there? For those unfamiliar, this is considered by many to be one of the greatest television series ever. Like nothing that came before it -- and maybe since -- each episode made you think, and if watched with a group evoked hours of discussion concerning what it meant.
