The Man from U.N.C.L.E., Season 1

The only complaint I could have is how little David McCallum appears.

Not only did the Beatles show up and change music forever, but a nifty show called The Man From U.N.C.L.E. hit the airwaves and made history for its innovative, movie like effects, edgy soundtrack and drop dead gorgeous leading men. Before there was Star Trek and the cast of the Enterprise, before a twisty story ever made an appearance in Mission Impossible, there was the Strigas Affair. Shatner and Nemoy together for the first time in a tightly woven story of intrigue, deception and really good disguises, this episode set a standard for many that would come after in some of television's best loved shows. Buy one, buy them all...it's retro and it's still Hot!

This has got to be one of my all time favorites. Highly recommended, I can't wait to start watching these again. The man from U.N.C.L.E. ROCKS!

One of my favorite television series of ALL TIMES. A fun spy series, which combined the best thing possible, the wonderful imaginations of the creators and writers of the shows, and the public's need to believe that there was an organization out there fighting for the 'Greater Good' of ALL the world's population. (I have heard stories of people, who in the 1960's, went on the tour of the United Nation's building and asked to see the 'second basement' of the building). At a time when tensions between the U.S.A. and Russia were high, this show broke ground with having an American agent being partnered with a Russian agent. (Apparently, when the pilot episode was viewed, they were told to get rid of the 'chief'--a crude way of meaning the Russian character. Thankfully it was misinterpreted, and they kept Illya Kuryakin!!!) Also, if iTunes continues to list all the seasons of this show, viewers will be able to see a wide range of stars--many of whom are now gone, and others who were just beginning on their rise to stardom. Definitely worth watching!

Did you know that Ian Fleming came up with the name Napoleon Solo? Did you also know that he gave up any and all rights he might have to The Man from U.N.C.L.E.? All true. If you really want to know what this show is about, see episode 25, "The Never Never Affair" with future agent 99, Barbara Feldon. It is exactly what the show is supposed to be about. One more thing, think about skipping all the other seasons. For some reason color destroyed the ability of the writers of this show to write good scripts. But if you HAVE to, buy just one episode from the season you are thinking about. You'll see why rather quickly. BUT the first season (all 30 episodes) are among the best scripted shows of any year (including up to 2008). Enjoy

When I watched this show as a child, I never realized how truly doofus it was. Holy guano Batman, this thing is through the looking glass AND down the rabbit hole! You've gotta love “Alexander the Greater” breaking each of the 10 commandments while executing his master plan to take over the world and dodging an ex-wife trying to collect on a divorce settlement (he posts a numbered plaque commemorating the site of each infraction). Not that I'm trying to get into the man's business or anything; but between me, you and the piano player, I doubt Alexander Waverly ever figured out his own hat size at any point in the entire caper... Cosmo oh Cosmo! Myself personal, I didn't know if I was in Oz or Wonderland! What were they smoking when they wrote this thing? Psychedelic Dude!

Now itunes is getting some shows in it's library. Now please, please, please can you add the Avengers for the ultimate in 60's cool

I can't believe that iTunes aquired this series. This is one of the best shows of the sixties, if not all time. I will definitely be acquiring this show. Now if we could get Sea Hunt, Batman, The Green Hornet, The Twilight Zone and Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea.

This show is the best spy show ever made, and its good that iTunes now has it.

This is one of the ture 60's time pieces. I still own my Corgi Man from UNCLE car from when I was a kid. The Black and White is the way it should be, not like I Dream Of Jennie where they colorized it. Season 1 stands buy itself as the serious season, great stories with a serious under tone. You can tell later on in season 2 it becomes more campy like the 1966 Batman show. Hit yes if you found this review to be helpful!! Open Channel D
