Facts:

The Prisoner is one of television's most esteemed programs; widely considered to be a broadcast masterpiece.

Since its debut, The Prisoner has intrigued and inspired Artists to create novels, audio drams, theatrical productions, graphic novels, games and parodies about the program's protagonist and his life in The Village.

For decades, screen writers and directors have cited The Prisoner as an inspiration for their TV and/or film creations.

In the past ten years scores of podcasts and YouTube channels have devoted their focus to discussing and dissecting the seventeen episodes of this unique series.

And, year after year, articles are published lauding how the program was groundbreaking for its time and remains absolutely relevant for contemporary society.


Ergo:

Doesn't it seem that . . . something with such a high standing and stamina, deserves an evening or a day of celebration?

For all the enduring entertainment and intellectual inspiration The Prisoner has given . . . shouldn't it be possible to bring folks together to laud and applaud the program?


The Eternal Village's goal, to host The Prisoner Con 2023, is motivated and mitigated by these four statements:

1] I (Karl Frunz) cherish the television series, The Prisoner

2] I respect the array of Artists--e.g. authors, thespians, musician, cartoonists, game designers--whose creations have analyzed the polemics of Number 6 and/or expanded the world of The Village

3] I want to find ways / occasions to interact with others who share these appreciations

4] I abhor wasted resources--be that energy, money or time

Thus, the first--and possibly only--task for achieving this goal is to:
