Archives and Round Table

1315527027_2.jpgI took a peek at a post I did four years ago regarding The Girl from UNCLE.  The show was a bomb, and yet we revere the two characters that originated there.
What are you thoughts? Certainly fan fiction has made April Dancer a much more interesting person than the show gave us, and hers and Mark Slate's interaction with Solo and Kuryakin is a given, showing up often.
The post is HERE
Chime in on the show that made us all cry uncle.

I've never actually seen GfU. I'm half tempted to ick up the DVD, but I keep being put off.

It's not worth spending the money as it was pretty bad. I haven't been able to make it through the first few episodes. But what I saw of her was that she was more of a damsel in distress more often than not. It seems they portrayed her as eye candy, than a competent agent.

I have a morbid curiosity to see just how bad it is, but I'll continue to resist, LOL

I've made a promise to myself that I won't go near it unless the DVDs are less than £5.

Postage to the UK probably isn't worth it :-)

HA! Morbid is a good choice of words cuz. Did you check to see if any episodes are on You Tube?

There are some short clips, but no full episodes.

I’ve only seen Mother Muffin, which I recall as cringey, and Galatea, which I like. I’ve never seen a GFU episode with Mark and April together. April was a better character in the Birds of a Feather novel, a serious, competent agent. I think of that book when I write her.

The DVD's I sent you would only work here, not in the UK. Different region for DVD's. I completely forgot I sent you the GFU DVD's.
