With that extra credit as each Man From UNCLE show closes more than a few people believed this show actually was portraying a real agency. And it gave some hope that in the midst of the Cold War the USA and the USSR were cooperating on a certain level against a common enemy.

Said enemy was a secret organization called THRUSH and we and the Soviets had an interest in seeing this crowd didn't succeed. UNCLE operated in the underground depths of New York City which you entered through a midtown tailor shop called Del Florio's where there was an elevator.

In charge of UNCLE was Leo G. Carroll an the show concerned his two top agents Napoleon Solo and Ilya Kuryakin played by Robert Vaughn and David McCallum. Hard to believe of Doc Mallard from NCIS but McCallum was for while the show ran an incredibly popular bubble gum pop star. It never fit well with him because he was and is a serious actor. But it was there.

The show was nicely satirical a sort of a more sophisticated Get Smart. I have some good memories of it.
