(I didn't see a thread directly related to the show, so I thought I'd start one).
I've been watching The Man from UNCLE and am about midway through Season 1. I had never seen it, but read about James Bond creator Ian Fleming's connection to the show and thought I'd check it out. Its been pretty entertaining, although I'm disappointed to read that by the end of Season 2 the show has devolved into a Batman like campiness
As most are probably aware, there are several Star Trek connections, most obviously the fact that Shatner and Nimoy appeared in an episode together. In addition I have seen several Star Trek guest stars (Ricardo Montalban was in one of the episodes I recently watched, and looked surprisingly older in 1965 then he did in 1967), and there is a Del Floria's Flower Shop listed on the businesses on DS9's promenade.
Overall its been good, although limited by 60's TV. Several episodes so far could have made great two part episodes. For example The Double Affair, in which someone impersonates Napoleon Solo, would have made a great two parter that investigated how someone would have known so much about UNCLE and been able to impersonate its top agent so well (a mole?). I know it was made into a movie, but I haven't seen the movie so I maybe that is addressed? Either way, a good show.
Anyone else watch it or like/dislike Man from UNCLE?
