The Man From Uncle

Watching a marathon on decades tv right now. Haven't seen this wild show since the 60s.

Later: Managed to see 3 episodes before I got sidetracked. Show is tongue-in-cheek, but not to the point of being silly or annoying. It has plenty of eye candy and guest stars. One episode I saw had Warner Klemperer(Col. Klink) Leonard Nimoy(Mr. Spock) and William Shatner (Capt. Kirk) in significant roles. Hopefully, I'll get a chance to catch a couple more today(Sunday).

One of the reasons Patrick McGoohan backed away from Secret Agent was the fact that the show was to move to color production, and the scripts seem to have suffered the same degradation, at least if the two that were produced and aired (and later strung together into a two hour theatrical release) are any indication. McGoohan may have had UNCLE's decline in mind when making his decision to depart the show after this move was announced.
