Still worth buying to hear the late Robert Culp's commentary on two episodes, one of them the pilot. One to avoid was the UNCLE reunion found in the ill-advised final season of The A-Team, aka the phone-it-in season or the let-Frankie-do-it season. -- -- TV or Not TV The Smartest (TV) People!

Re: [TV orNotTV] Re: Two daytime fixtures sell sitcom to Fox
By coincidence, I'm watching and old episode of UNCLE with guest stars William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, and Werner Klemperer. I know spy shows and cop shows have become more realistic and gritty, and I like that, but there is still room for shows with character actors who make even small roles seem large.

Re: [TV orNotTV] Re: Two daytime fixtures sell sitcom to Fox
So is Jared Harris playing Alexander Waverly, the Leo G. Carroll role of UNCLE head honcho? Can't imagine it's Hugh Grant.

Ah, a Guy Ritchie-directed movie starring Henry "Superman" Cavill as Napoleon Solo and Armie "Lone Ranger" Hammer as Ilya Kuryakin. "Set against the backdrop of the early 1960s, at the height of the Cold War, The Man from U.N.C.L.E. centers on CIA agent Solo and KGB agent Kuryakin. Forced to put aside longstanding hostilities, the two team up on a joint mission to stop a mysterious international criminal organization, which is bent on destabilizing the fragile balance of power through the proliferation of nuclear weapons and technology. The duo's only lead is the daughter of a vanished German scientist, who is the key to infiltrating the criminal organization, and they must race against time to find him and prevent a worldwide catastrophe. Jared Harrid, Alicia Vikander, Elizabeth Debicki, Harris and Hugh Grant co-star." Hmm... -- Ed Dravecky III http://www.fencon.org/ -- -- TV or Not TV The Smartest (TV) People!
