UNCLE Headquarters

[Wanley999]

Thanks for posting the clip.

I thought I knew a little bit about UNCLE, but reading the posts, I obviously don't!!!

[DeathByChocolate1995]

Ducky!!

[mycatsdead]

anyway the guy in the shop dont know what i do. excellent.

[whiskeyify]

so funny, I remember reading about people that thought that there really was such as place as UNCLE> Anyway the show started off great and then got "camp"

that was the expession used for shows like "Batman" and "Get Smart".

I guess these shows were quite popular so the producers wanted to copy them but it just didn't work and the show lost it's way.

[MrPerfect77]

Hey its Ducky from NCIS .

[enjoixander]

I like 1:34 where it shows the Earth gridded up beginning from the hydrogen reactors at the poles (or some equivalent reactor). Maybe they should have thought about paying people for their mind work instead of discrediting them! Special agent "no pay" put on this mask, it is of an idiot, but wear it only until we take down the power at the poles. Thereby fufilling operation FREEDOM!

[centurionknight]

Boy, does it bring back memories, sign me up as U.N.C.L.E. #2

[tomas8693]

brings back old memories

[CHiPsFan01]

U.N.C.L.E. was one of the greatest spy shows ever, so yeah tis is a good video!

[Stretchmancando]

Hey Chief snap out of it! Were filming here so pay attention!

[VanWADebbie]

Mr. Waverly seemed to be an aloof man. I thought Illya was going to shoot Waverly.

If you saw the "reunion" show, the agents went to the cleaners and did their knocking on the wall behind the curtain. They did not k now that UNCLE moved somewhere else. A cabbie asked them in the street if they were looking for their uncle. LOL

[Ermengarde11]

Other LA childhood memories: Does anyone from LA remember Humble Harve, the DJ -- it was either KHJ or KRLA, the stations I listened to then, Top 40. And the Wolfman radio personality could be heard often too. Yes, I'm in my fifties, can you tell? heehee

[Ermengarde11]

Robert Vaughn, so dreamy. I had a crush on him as a kid, all the other girls liked David McCallum. Vaughn reminds me of my dad when he was young, so handsome. There's a family photo of my dad standing next to a 1940s model car with a pistol, looking all secret-agent like heehee. I loved this show. Now Robert does ads for a legal firm! I remember in LA he did a "mystery" voice contest for a radio station, "This is Mr. Whisper, who am I?" somebody finally guessed it was him &won a buncha money.

[groundview]

Yes this was the TV version of James Bond!

[dandamagetoo]

I had the gun with all the attachments, includeing the triangular badge. Our barn loft was the UNCLE headquaters for Ripley Mississippi. lol I even wrote to the TV show and got an official UNCLE ID card. That old barn loft saw a lot of action. sometimes it was a rocket ship, a B17, pirate ship. It was also the first place I ever felt up a real live girl and she wasn't even related to me!

[GUIDOBRAT]

haha--I hear ya...it was great to be a kid in the beloved 60's wasnt it ? lol --these kids now havent a clue. Had the oo7 attache case myself---thought I was Sean Connery or something--my sisters quickly informed me I was delusional, but I wouldnt trade my 60's memories for all the gold in Ft. Knox.

thx for the U.N.C. L. E. vid, much appreciated

Kevin in NY

[moorigs]

As a kid, I was so excited when I got the Man from U.N.C.L.E. toy gun..it had a silencer, shoulder attachment and a scope

[blabblab1212]

Is that a Moog synthesizer that Alexander Waverly and Napoleon Solo are playing with? It sure sounds like it! Obviously, one of their various missions was to create psychedelic music!!!!!!!!!

[GUIDOBRAT]

haha...yeah, Waverly could've been in Pink Floyd

[txt23]

ive heard a rumour that nick rhodes will play illya kuryaki ,and Simon Lebon will be napoleon solo and the title will be :THE MAN OF D.U.R.A.N D.U.R.A.N LOL

[GUIDOBRAT]

*rolls eyes*....what's the new "theme" gonna be.."Hungry Like The Wolf"?...that's a joke..Lebon is no Vaughn and Rhodes is no McCallum---frankly, I don't see the point of a cpl of 80's has-beens playing the part of two iconic 60's actors--

it's incredibly presumptious and egotistical-- only die hard Duran Duran fanatics will watch it--original fans of the show will take offense and stay away in droves.

[txt23]

hi bro im illya kuryaki and the valderramas hahahahaha

[GUIDOBRAT]

yeah, and I'm Santa Claus....take a hike, freak.

[txt23]

soplame la quena gordo mascapernos

[blabblab1212]

Huh! Oh yes! Alexander Waverly! Section 1. Number 1. It's from here that I send these young men on their various missions. I just dropped some LSD-25. So first I am going to spend hours and hours, until I get bored, turning these dials and looking at these pretty blinking lights. After all, it is the 1960's.

[Ermengarde11]

LMAO!!!

[VanWADebbie]

I wondered what he was doing at those controls. : )

[blabblab1212]

Great suspense but poorly acted!

[Dalek1230]

nice sound

[slmacph]

Opening sequence clearly spoofed by "Get Smart".

[rocksie39]

loved this ..remember getting a man from uncle kit for xmas with my spy pen and passport loved it had many hours of fun my brother and i were top agents ...

[barflewk]

Loved this show in the 60's, recently saw some old eps and couldn't believe what a corny boring stupid fuckass program it was.

[almodovare1]

I remember watching this serie during my childhood. But this one didn't have a full success compared with other series from the sixteens.

[ryoushii]

It was episode 12 first season I believe that they had an episode starring William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy AND Werner Klemperer.

Kirk, Spock and Col. Klink altogether on the Man from U.N.C.L.E. - great tv

[intrepidlikes]

love it at 0:43 when Solo turns on that big bakery oven inside the office.

[outshore]

I know someone that wurks there

[CityMuso]

... now where did I put my Platignum MfU invisible ink fountain pen....

[adama0731]

It is interesting to note the influence that this show had on the Nick Fury, Agent of Shield comic in the 1960s.E.g., Shield was an acronym (Supreme Headquarters, Inernational Espionage,Law-enforcement Division).Also, the original entrance into Shield's New York headquarters was via a barbershop, a rather obvious takeoff on UNCLE's tailor shop.

[tombstonetom]

I wish my commuter started that quickly. Of course my sell phone is more sufficticated than that ancient artifact.

[martinmartinducks]

Great video.

[martinmartinducks]

I love you, Ilya.

[Moo51]

I remember reading a few paperback Man From Uncle stories. Wonder what happened to those books (where did I put them so long ago?!!).

[glamfoxbuster]

Have you looked in the bottom drawer?

[adamski010]

...well,if you gave them to a jumble sale,I bought them!12 of them!And read them!Very cheesy,but fun!...The Vampire Affair was good!Adam.

[HickysBoy]

Sadly, I had the same experience. As a kid I never missed an episode - thought they were so cool, sophisticated. But, yeah, they're awful. Times, tastes change - 45 years a long time, I guess.

[boomerhgt]

Yeah all that stuff looks very dated now the world has moved on

[eleeking]

Gets better every time I wacth it.

[jamierourketen]

i had one of the triangle badges , black with gold writing!!!!!

[adamski010]

I had an UNCLE membership card!I nicked from my brother!

[glamfoxbuster]

I'm afraid I will have to report you.

[adamski010]

...report me?I'm an adamski010 not adama0731!

[glamfoxbuster]

Whoops!, sorry didn't realise!, OK, carry on the good work.

[davidgrahamscott]

Always wanted one of them pistols with the loooong silencer. Don't know why but that silencer shit seemed kind of sexy...and no I ain't gay!!

[TenArcangel]

Thanks for sharing this. Amazing!!

[binorwin]

Obscure Factoid!! Ian Flemming devised the name "Solo"

Not

Napolean Solo

MEGA DIference!!!

[adamski010]

Brilliant!Happy Days!Bring back Del Floria's!

[mrc302]

This was my show! Theme song was cool as hell.

[petereaton1]

Watch Out Mr. Solo, he's behind you !

And hes got a GUN.

Yar Goot.

[LILACTIME]

Obscure factoid...Ian Fleming devised the Napoleon Solo character !

[webengineer]

David McCallum came from Maryhill in Glasgow by the way.

[berserkley]

While the Schifrin theme is hot, the first season Goldsmith version is the one for me. For spy themes, it would be: 1.)Man from UNCLE (1st season Jerry Goldsmith composer), Mission: Impossible (Lalo Schifrin composer) and James Bond movie theme. (John Barry composer.)

[VanWADebbie]

I don`t know why Mr. Waverly delegate someone else on radio.I`, sure some nice looking girl could of done it. Waverly looks a bit aloof.

[VanWADebbie]

If you saw the Man from Uncle reunion show, the laundry is no longer the enternace. The recalled enforcemnet officers end up explaining to the new owner that they payed a game with their uncle. Solo and Kyriakin (sorry for mispelling his name go outside and are asked if they were looking for their uncle. Patrick MacNee played the new head of Uncle

[gaIIery]

Can never decide which I prefer: Schifrin's second season arrangement, or the one on which it is based, Goldsmith's main title theme from season 1.

[SCLOGSE]

THis theme music version was the hippest of all the different ones they used. GOldsmith, I believe...loved the theme...just buzzed me, and I waited all week to hear it again. At the same time, a show called T.H.E. Cat appeared, with Robert Loggia, and music by Lalo Schifrin, and lots of hip jazz in Cat's nightclub scenes...this muic should have been also released!

thanks....andre

[intrepidlikes]

Damon is too identified with Bourne. Looks older too. Wilson is younger, blonde hair, has or can handle a serious straight faced, practical, and efficient Ilya possibly with a less American accent which would be fun to watch. Wilson's no stranger to spy films either.

[intrepidlikes]

George Clooney as Napoleon Solo and Owen Wilson as Ilya Kuryakin.

[spacecatf14xx]

I agree with clooney as solo but how about matt(the bourne identity)damon as iilya though?

[AQB52]

The U.N.C.L.E. employee orientation video! ^ ^

[spacecatf14xx]

iTHINK THE THEME TUNE IS THE BIZZ any one my age (42) would think the same

[hkins]

I remember how U.N.C.L.E. galvanized my 6th grade class when it first appeared. Great fodder for skits in English and Spanish class for years! (And Illya was my favorite, too.) Somewhere I have a paperback copy of The Vampire Affair, but I think I gave away my UNCLE cards.

Very funny computers. Leo G. Carroll twiddling dials with no screens and Vaughn just turns on one switch and the whole thing immediately starts working. Wish my operating system did that.

[josedro]

Veru funny comment! thank you

[mchlillian]

In the 60's it was so reasurring that by 9.55 p.m. on friday nights how Neopolean Solo has saved the world from the evil work of Thush for another week.

[oilerblueline]

Wouldn't the massive number of people that go into the shop and don't come out for hours be suspicious? I mean, at the start of the workday, they must be lined up out the door.

[midhrifs]

Hilarious. Lined up out the door. As if it's a ride at Disneyland. Yeah, you'd think the neighbours would've noticed.

[edcasanova2003]

I remember when NBC replaced this with Laugh In!

[dakkelbotok]

Why does UNCLE, a worldwide law enforcement agency only have TWO top agents?

[CrowTRobot5]

I used to be an UNCLE agent, it was teh kewlest job EVAR. Thrush suuuuuuucked. James Bond was a bitch. English fag.

[Queenofthemuse]

I've really missed The Man From U.N.C.L.E, I used to watch it when I was growing up in the late 80's and early 90's. I love the music and Illya Kuryakin! I hope they'll show it on the TV again soon, thanks for posting!

[mariavah]

Oh my goodness! I've found heaven. I loved this show so much when I was a little girl. Illya Kuryakin was was my first TV crush (well, after Race Bannon, but he was so two-dimensional). Thanks for posting it.

[znmstr2012]

The quality of television has tanked sense this show went off the air. God help us all.

[SusannahK]

So has spelling.

[Huntforstars]

Thank you for the UNCLE videos!!! I've been in love w/ Illya for 40 years!! George Clooney - Napoleon, Mark Wahlberg as a heinous THRUSH villan - but who is cool enough to play Illya?!?!?

[intrepidlikes]

Jason Connery as Ilya Kuryakin? He is blond, you know and a good actor.

[dizzheart]

Clooney would be a great Solo, but get a real Russian actor to play Illya. Pitt can play a crazy Eurotrash villain :)

[intrepidlikes]

George Clooney as Napoleon Solo and Brad Pitt as Ilya Kuryakin. The Man from U.N.C.L.E.

[intrepidlikes]

Great tune! Loved the flute!

[jupitr2]

Love it, this jams!! Excellent work whatever you did. The show was pretty cool, though I always thought that their communications/intelligence gathering gear with Chief Waverley always looked a bit dated. Like hand-me-downs from the 'Outer Limits' series which was filmed at MGM also. Thnx for this post! Awesome tunes.

[retroactivity]

I love how you blended the Test Tube Killer suite's rendition of the UNCLE theme and the season 2 arrangement of the title theme for the season 1 credits - this looks like "the Iowa Scuba Affair," right? What a fun remix you did!

[midhrifs]

Hey, you know your UNCLE!  Good call on all of them.

[flapdoodle64]

This show was soooooo cool.

[bucs23]

Just wondering what the lifespan of this video will be. They will hunt you down and dispatch you. You do know that, don't you?

[comicbookal]

This was one of the best shows of the mid 1960's and whoever owns the rights to the series Itself, should make a decision very soon to release a complete Dvd set of the entire series for those of us that really enjoyed this show

[txstikr77]

I agree. This was my favorite tv show before Star Trek came along. I would LOVE to see it on DVD. There is a cable tv channel - American Life- that was showing The Man From U.N.C.L.E., The Girl From U.N.C.L.E., and I Spy every Wednesday night but they have just replaced our favorite spy shows with "Trapper John-M.D." Maybe Nick@Nite will pick it up.

[hachenbacher]

great sound track

[Sodnal]

Love those thin ties from the 1960's!

[nate61]

cool post thanks
