I loved "Man from U.N.C.L.E." back in the day! That and seeing James Bond movies when they aired on BBC and watching "The Avengers" and later "The Prisoner". I was maybe 9 or 10 years old at the time and the whole super-suave spy thing really appealed to me.
I've never re-watched any of the "U.N.C.L.E" episodes and don't know now if I'd like them or not. Some things are best left in the past. I tried watching the finale for "The Prisoner" a few years ago and it was just stupid.
I'm not sure if the "U.N.C.L.E" movie will be any good or not. They made a modern movie out of "The Avengers" and it bombed. But there have been some good things that came out of old TV shows. The re-imagining of "Battlestar Galactica" made for a great series. The recent "Batman" films were great (particularly the second one). And the new incarnation of James Bond has been great. I can only hope for a good one from "U.N.C.L.E"!
