The Simpsons "Prisoner" Parody Episode

The long-running TV show "The Simpsons" did a parody of Patrick McGoohan's "The Prisoner?" News to me! 

Here are some Prisoner-related clips from "The Simpsons" episode "The Computer Wore Menace Shoes," which first aired December 3, 2000.

"The episode features American-born actor Patrick McGoohan as Number Six, the central character in The Prisoner, which McGoohan played. 'The Computer Wore Menace Shoes' was the only time McGoohan reprised his role as Number Six.[5] In the DVD commentary for the episode, Payne said that McGoohan was 'very funny', and that all the writers wanted to meet him when he came to record his dialogue for the episode.[3]

"McGoohan was reportedly very pleased with his role in the episode; when his wife Joan McGoohan, who is a real estate broker, helped staff writer Max Pross buy a house, she told him that Patrick McGoohan was as proud of the episode as anything in his career.[6]
