:banana:For anyone who's a Man from U.N.C.L.E. fan you will be pleased to know that the complete series is out on DVD. It comes packaged in a really cool attache case! It's a 41 disc set and quite pricey...I got mine on sale at Best Buy and I didn't mind shelling out all that money (ouch!)...There's even a cool unaired pilot called "Solo" before it even transformed into the Man From U.N.C.L.E. So for those of you who remember the show, I just saw it in re-runs it's worth getting...By the way the bubblegum group Every Mothers Son makes a cameo in the episode the 5 Daughters Affair and they are singing "Come On Down To My Boat"...Hmmmm they sure don't make tv shows like this anymore....:banana:

Anyone with Derek Jacobi for their avatar gets my ear.

Yeah, Man From Uncle was special; my favorites being the B&W's.

This might be my Christmas request to my wife this year.

This is too good to wait for Christmas! The black and white- season 1 is one of my faves also...it got to be a little more comedic in it's last season that's why it probably got cancelled....Hope you can wait that long, I couldn't...

Got my copy from Amazon, it arrived last Saturday. I've only had time to watch the first 3 episodes, but man (from UNCLE), what fun! Here's a great trivia question from the show: what's Thrush stand for?

I give up! What does Thrush stand for? On a side note got my order of the two seasons of Robert Vaughn's next series "The Protectors"...not as good as UNCLE but not bad for a British Tv Show.

I am impressed! :tresbon:

You can buy Season I from Time Life (http://www.timelife.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10001&storeId=1001&langId=-1&productId=18501) on sale for 40 bucks.

I think the other vendors require you to buy the entire set.

The later Seasons were not as good as Season I. I read an interview from Robert Vaughn that the producers changed the show into a campy comedy after Season I to compete with hot shows like Batman. He said Season I was clearly the best.

Cheers, Snade

I have to agree as Season 1 was the best..when it came down to Season 3 you could see it became Batman-esque...but I still liked it much better!

My wife bought me the 41-disk boxed set for Christmas. We've watched the pilot 'Solo', on Disk 11 and Disk 1, all 3 episodes. It will take us a while to work through these.
The transfer quality is excellent. We will have many enjoyable hours with this as my wife only saw some of the original shows as a very young child. For me, it's a walk down memory lane.

Hey, I remember that one!
I couldn't have been more than 10.
I had a cool U.N.C.L.E. pistol you could put a stock and silencer on.
I thought it looked bad with just the silencer on it. :smoke:

Ahhhh yes...one of my favorite T.V. shows of the 1960's. I was in Grade School when "UNITED NETWORK COMMAND for LAW ENFORCE" aired.
I'll have to look into the DVD set.

I LOVED the Elwood Engel Imperials they used...And Leo G. Carroll ! "Mr Waverley"...Loved him, too ! Didn't get to watch it much-I was 7 or 8 when it 1st came out, & IIRC, it came on after my bedtime, & my Mom was pretty vigilant on that...
