Sad.

He was not a number, he was a free man!

Would I like that show? I've been thinking I should watch it.

Hmmm. I'm not sure! It's kind of a love-it or hate-it kind of show, and you can be similarly binary in your devotion to or hatred of those kinds of things. My prediction is that the plot and characters might kind of drive you crazy, but that you'd probably really like some of the design. It gets really special-brand-of-60's-wacky in the later episodes especially, though. And you might find an interesting kinship with the title character, as he is constantly dismayed by his situation and the people he is forced to interact with, and does a lot of problem solving.

All the episodes are online for free now, if you want to give it a shot:
