When U.N.C.L.E. was "on" it was great and when it was not it was awful. As a 10 year old in San Francisco, me and every kid I knew had our U.N.C.L.E. Specials and T.H.R.U.S.H. rifles and we regularly pretend we were attacking T.H.R.U.S.H. HQ somewhere. Even then, I had developed a talent for voices and did a fairly good imitation of Robert Vaughn's voice and so was always playing Solo. I wanted to grow up to be like Vaughn and couldn't believe the gorgeous women on the show then. Years later I became friends with David McDaniel, a writer of the U.N.C.L.E. books and through his association with Norman Felton, I was appointed head of T.H.R.U.S.H. for Nevada. So when you hear about evil doings in Las Vegas, you know your unfriendly neighborhood T.H.R.U.S.H. Satrap is on the job !
Recent action movies have tried to revive the spy shows of the 60s but fail because the producers and writers don't have a sense of history and a feel for what the various shows were about ( The Wild Wild West, The Avengers).
There is a Yahoo group about U.N.C.L.E. and I am awaiting the release of the DVD set.
Curiously, there has been a U.N.C.L.E. movie in the works kicking around the studios for about 10 years, but nothing ever seems to come of it ( the same goes for an A-Team movie.
There are U.N.C.L.E. references in the show NCIS and the A-Team.
