Jonathan asked how many episodes there were and what stories they
told.  I have seen nine and I believe that is the whole number since
the book version contains nine.  I have not seen the book but the
title is Jim Henson's The Storyteller and it is written by the
gentleman who wrote all the scripts.  His name was something like
Anthony Minghella - in fact I just checked and that's the name.

The episodes, in no order:

	The Luck Child
	Fearnot
	The True Bride
	Sapsorrow
	The Soldier and Death
	The Heartless Giant
	The Three Ravens
	Hans Hedgehog
	A Story Short

The last 2 titles may be slightly off.  One was definitely the
story I know as Hans Hedgehog but I'm not sure of the title.  The other
might be One Story Short or something similar.

The best?  Fearnot (the boy who left home to find the shudders), a cheerful
ghost story about a young man who didn't know about about.  Wonderful
special effects.
	   The SOldier and Death (the magic knapsack), a soldier
acquires a bag that can hold anything, including all the devils of hell
or death itself.  The devil muppets are fabulous.
	   A Story Short.  The only one in which the Storyteller himself
is the main character.  A variation on Sheherazade with magic spells.

It was a wonderful series and why they don't put it out on video is
beyond me.

"Dutton" brings up a question I have long debated with others.....are #6's friends
at Intelligence on his side or the Village's?  I always come back to the same
conclusion.....they must have been on the side of the Village, otherwise, they
knew where to look for him (I'm taking it as given that the "location" given
in MANY HAPPy RETURNS is where the Village really is) and they would go get him,
wouldn't they?  Of course, the pilot (who was on the Village's side) could have
made up some story so they didn't go looking for him, but being good Intelligence
people, wouldn't they have checked out his story anyway?  Yeah, I can see where
holes can be shot in the argument, but I still believe those at Intelligence
(that we saw in MANY HAPPY RETURNS) are on the side of the Village.  What I 
don't understand is why #6 was so trusting and got into that jet with the pilot.
He seemed smarter than that to me.

  While I was living in Indonesia multi-system vcrs and tv's(pal-secam-ntsc)
 were quite common.  The two biggest makers were Sony and National(which
is Panasonic).  The ran about $750 U.S., but I've never seen these on sale

Howdy.  I've a question for other Prisoner fans out there.  How many of you 
read the "Authorized Sequel" put out by DC Comics a few years ago?  And what 
sort of reactions did you have to it?
  I myself liked it very much, and found the tone to be faithful to the 
original while pushing the story in new directions.  BUt I've also read 
several negative reviews, foremost the one in the Comics Review last year 
which blasted it for being confused.  I'm curious to get some other 
reactions.  Does it deserve to stand in the Prisoner Cannon?

  Also, wondering if anyone would be willing to send me a copy of "Return of 
the King".  I read Chapter 15 the other day, and liked it very much....

It was sometimes fun but I was disappointed.

The characterization was shallow, the ending was silly, the American was
thoroughly stereotyped (for starters).  The fistfight between 2 and 6
was totally against the development of their relationship.  The author
of "The Return of the King" did a better job there, keeping it 
psychological.

I agree it should stand in the way of some (loaded) Prisoner Cannon, but 
should not be admitted to the Prisoner Canon.

a perfect number is one which is the sum of all of its factors including 1.

The first 2 perfect numbers are:

6 = 1 + 2 + 3

28 = 1 + 2 + 4 + 7 + 14

Sorry, but the year 2000 has a February 29. The rule you mentioned does
apply to years beginning with a number not divisible by 4, such as
1700, 1800 and 1900; so 1600 has a 2/29, and the same is true for 2000.

Ah, but there is a trivial little detail about leap years that most
people tend to overlook, and that will come as a shock to all but
the calendar-makers 8 years hence.  

The year 2000 is not a leap year.  Because of the way leap-years 
work (adding extra days every four years to make up for the fact
that the solar year is a little more than 365 days long), every
100 years we end up getting ahead of ourselves.  So years that end

29.  Therefore, TP must have taken place in '72.  I am sure the
show was intended to be contemporary anyway, so this makes sense.
