And So It Begins...

On this date in 1964...
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Man from U.N.C.L.E. is an American television series that was broadcast on NBC from September 22, 1964, to January 15, 1968. It follows the exploits of two secret agents, played by Robert Vaughn and David McCallum, who work for a fictitious secret international espionage and law-enforcement agency called U.N.C.L.E. Originally co-creator Sam Rolfe wanted to leave the meaning of UNCLE ambiguous so it could be viewed as either referring to "Uncle Sam" or the United Nations. Concerns by the MGM Legal department about possible New York law violations for using the abbreviation "U.N." for commercial purposes resulted in the producers clarifying that U.N.C.L.E. was an acronym for the United Network Command for Law and Enforcement. Each episode of the television show had an "acknowledgement" credit to the U.N.C.L.E. on the end titles.

I thought I was alone in preferring the original series to the film! I love it. I had a crush on Illya as a child. I should watch it again. I've been revisiting a lot of my childhood watching.

Not alone, the series is by far the overwhelming favorite among the folks here. And you're among cousins when you enter this community, we're all related by our favorite UNCLE ;)

Brilliant! Now is there anyone else who had a crush on Illya? And who remembers the comics?

Oh yes, you're in a sea of Illya girls. Napoleon has his troupe of admirers, but the blond is ahead by quite a lot. You're in good company ;)

Illya hits half my fetishes like a brick wall. Do you remember the comics? I wish I'd kept those.

I missed out on those, but I did start buying the ACE books a few years ago.
I hope you'll check out the new stories that are posting on Section VII. We have a Christmas Round Robin going at the moment, so take a look and get some more MFU happiness.
