    That show was beyond cool. We all watched it religiously. All the girls at school (third grade?) had crushes on Ilya-- he was The Beatle-Mania of TV. Even my little sister gushed about him. Phenomenal! Anyway, most of us got the banter/ribbing between Napoleon and Ilya (even at that young age), and attempted replication of it out on the playground-- good times!

    I was a 60s schoolboy and The Man from UNCLE was an absolute favourite with all of us. We'd watch it and then outside to play it. Years later, as an adult watching Hustle I saw the magic of Robert Vaughan's timing and humour again. David McCallum in NCIS was the only good thing about that show.

      Much better than the latest movie. Illya and Napoleon were working colleagues that became friends. They were NOT Illya/Napoleon as some writers suggested. Spock and Kirk as well as Starsky/Hutch were also messed up this way to appease certain groups. Maybe they should make some groups recently disabled to make others happy too.

The first couple of seasons of UNCLE were extremely good, as good as Bond, maybe better, and there was no goofiness in them. The switch caused many of the fans to leave, making ratings plummet. They tried going back to the original style (watch the last season) but by then it was too late . Watch also the first seasons, one of the very first episodes had Captain Kirk and Spock as guests. (not in those characters of course). The first episodes were also in black and white . The source for this information is the extras that come when you buy the whole set of UNCLE, which I did .

      Too bad Hulu or Netflex doesn't carry it. I have the DVD set. Illya and Napoleon were working colleagues. They had girlfriends and were NOT gay as made by video makers. Just because they were friends who worked well together, that didn't make them any closer. Besides, Illya preferred dark-haired ladies-except for the lady David's wife played (Marion). Loved the humour in "MFU".

      You don't have to strain your imagination to see similarities between MFU and Archer. Yes the later is built on comedy but they lifted many ideas and situations from MFU. Get Smart deserves a mention as well.

Shoulder holster badge the lot and I was may be 6 e or 7 years old. Somehow they made the Cold War era back then some kind of hip cool thing. Anyway loved it and the music was cool

    To our host "trony" for whom we're grateful for posting this gem: Since you're blessed with a long memory with your mention of the Road Pictures, "U.N.C.L.E." was filmed in that movie series' aspect ratio of 1.33 : 1 aka 4x3. How awkward it would be to see Paramount's b&w Road prints awkwardly and needlessly manipulated into a phony widescreen as is done here.
    How about giving another go at this so we see how PERFECTLY it looked in the '60s when MGM delivered its standard format, 35 mm Metrocolor prints to NBC, i.e., 1.33 : 1, for presentation to its millions of "The Man from U.N.C.L.E." viewers?

    Very good "Tronyfree"! Brings back wonderful memories when things were simpler back then.
    I loved those shows as they were very entertaining and very accurate even though our own "agencies" did NOT want us to now about. Similar to INTERPOL in some ways, but not the same.Too much corruption even now and inside the U.N.)
    I later went into the USSS in Wash.D.C.(1974) and also took care of Embassy Security(FMD) as well as counter-terrorism and The White House-WHD(Ford & Carter) and I was probably one of very few who took all my previous training seriously including martial arts.
    Not ALL "agents" are trained in Martial Arts, etc....

    I started watching the original Outer Limits on ROKU this New Year's Eve and saw a character who seemed vaguely familiar in an episode called The Sixth Finger. It was David McCallum who I later connected to The Man From Uncle from the 1960s. I was just a small child then and really didn't follow the plot but I remember the character. The show was on every Friday night as I remember.

David Mccallum is in the 90s remake of Feasibility Study. Aliens carve out part of a town (neighborhood) and take it to their planet to see if humans would make good slaves for the aliens.
