any man from U.N.C.L.E. fans around these parts...I was a big spy when I was ten years old....and now they are making a new movie

 

[Vivjen]

Oh yes...used to watch that avidly; don't really remember much of what happened though!

 

[Cookie]

I used to watch it all the time.... also don't remember much except it was fun.

 

[Bullie76]

I remember the show. Enjoyed it.

 

[rkunsaw]

It was my favorite show at the time. Illya Kuryakin now works for NCIS. My favorite current show.

Oh yes, I watched only because my dad had control of the t.v. but I soon developed a huge crush on Robert Vaughn and wouldn't miss the show.

 

[SeaBreeze]

My brother used to watch it, so I watched it too sometimes.

 

[avrp]

hee hee....Robert is still too cute!

I used to watch it all the time.... also don't remember much except it was fun.

Same here.

 

[AZ Jim]

I preferred "Mission Impossible".

I even joined the fan club and my folks bought me the Man from U.N.C.L.E. attache case, which of course contained guns, bombs, invisible ink and who knows what else.

They show it every Sunday on our oldies channel but I rarely watch it anymore.

I liked Man from U.N.C.L.E. for 'serious' spy drama. Get Smart for not-so-serious spy stuff.

Me too Larry. When I was a kid, I loved Illya. When grownups asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up I said, "A spy!"

Of course when I learned about torture all bets were off. I can't imagine the movie being successful unless U.N.C.L.E. is fighting against ISIS or other terrorist organizations. Audiences of today could never understand how real the cold war was for us and how dangerous the times seemed because of it.

For me, when they try to make a new movie of something like The Man from UNCLE is that it never holds up to the original and the new actors are all wrong. I can't get past the fact that the faces are wrong.
