Product Description

Man From U.N.C.L.E., The: The Complete First Season (DVD)

In this hit spoof on the spy genre, Robert Vaughn and David McCallum star as a team of secret agents battling the global crime organization THRUSH. Under the aegis of the United Network Command for Law and Enforcement (U.N.C.L.E.), the dapper, suave Napoleon Solo and the equally dashing Illya Kuryakin jet to exotic locations, defending the world from evil, chaos and bad taste. Premiering in 1964, this successful series also starred Leo G. Carroll as Alexander Waverly and featured guest stars such as William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy (of Star Trek fame), Kurt Russell as a young stowaway marked for murder, Ricardo Montelban and longtime comedy favorite Ken Murray. From trying to save the world from fear gas to trying to save themselves from a pack of bloodthirsty cheetahs, this spoof brings the spy game to life with vigor and vibrancy. You may even forget it's in black and white! Get your spy on with The Man from U.N.C.L.E!

McCallum hardly appears so no repartee between him & Vaughn. Then they discovered that he was more popular than Napoleon Solo. Better episodes have them playing against each other. Like being back in middle school again. Time machine experience. This show & McGoohan's Secret Agent were the best.

This is a good as any entre into this entertaining TV spy series. Time-Life has done a superb job with the remastering of these episodes, and the interviews with cast and crew are insightful, entertaining, informative, and most welcome. One hopes this quality is indicative of future releases. Later, this year the entire series will be available via Amazon in a "suitcase" carry all for the serious collector.

First making its debut on NBC back in 1964, this series capitalized (like so many others of its type) on the spy-thiller boom that proliferated in the cinema and on the television set. Easily making heroes and stars of Robert Vaughn and David McCallum as United Network Command for Law Enforcement (UNCLE) agents Napoleon Solo and Illya Kuraykin respectively, (Yes, a Russian and American working together at the height of the Cold War!)they fought a top secret, world wide criminal organization bent on global domination, THRUSH, not unlike the familiar SPECTRE from the Bond films. The series features no-less than a who's who of popular celebrities from the 1960's, many from Hollywood's A-list at the time.

With weaponry that was futuristic and plots that were imaginative and clever, the dialogue and mood of the series was fun and tongue-in-cheek. Clearly an imitator of Ian Fleming's James Bond adventures and extremely popular with with college audiences, it had a solid, profitable four year run that spawned a host of imitators on the movie and television screen--not to mention a slew of toys and books for the commercial market. An unsuccessful and feminist-leaning spinoff, "The Girl from U.N.C.L.E." starring Stephanie Powers as April Dancer debuted in 1966, but only lasted one season and was completely forgotten never catching the magic or the ratings of the original.

This is a TV series from my youth (60's). NCIS is my favortie TV show now and David McCallum is one of the regular cast members on it. He stars as Dr. Donald Mallard, aka "Duckie", and was a star in The Man From U.N.C.L.E. My interest in NCIS brought this series to mind and I ordered it so my husband and I could watch it together. We enjoyed it and have since bought several other old series. This was made during the "spy craze" years and is entertaining. It is simple, as the shows were then, but the plot holds your interest. Some may say it's corny, but if taken in context of those years it isn't. I would recommend it for anyone with an interest in days gone by.

Very enjoyable. The best part? No commercials!

Yes, it is great to see The fashions and the great people who led the series as well as all the great guests. However, now as when I was a child, I still believe the plots frequently lack continuity and depend on many assumptions by the viewer to fill in undeveloped plot which are unclear at times and the action sequences are the worst I have ever seen in my extensive viewing history. LOL otherwise, it is a fun experience to watch these episodes as you refamiliarize with these characters and enjoy the mid-1960s again. Personally, I would not plan on buying any more of the series as this was to verify my less than perfect opinion which I had since childhood - I was right, unfortunately. Just the same, this is definitely the right way to see for yourself whether you want to spend money on the entire series. Whether you do or not, if you take a chance, I hope you enjoy it!

The first season is all black abd white but don't let that stop you. This series is great, well, at least the first season is great. Many episodes were directed by Richard Donner (the Omen, Superman, Lethal Weapon). One episode was directed by John Newland (One Step Beyond). The legion of guest stars is astounding. Willian Shatner and Leonard Nimoy together in an episode long before Star Trek. Richard Kiel (Jaws). Sharon Tate, Kurt Russel, the list just goes on and on.

Man from Uncle reminds me of the English series The Avengers. Napoleon Solo is a bit like John Steed, an anachronistic representative of a earlier era, always well dressed, but a very professional spy. Another parallel is how a big time spy agency sends just two agents into situations that would seem to benefit from much more man power. And like The Avengers, Man from Uncle eventually self-destructed by getting too silly. But that happens later. Season one is very good.

It's a period piece now, showing life in the early sixties and this is part of the charm. Because it was intended fot TV in the 60's, the violence is kept to a minimum. Don't expect the kind of violence that you see on today's show, it isn't there. Man From Uncle, Season 1 is one of the best TV series from the early 60's offered by Amazon. I highly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars As Good as the Early James Bond Movies
Reviewed in Canada on February 16, 2017
The first season of The Man From U.N.C.L.E., in glorious black and white, was great TV then - and now. Watch for a parade of later-to-be-famous TV stars in these early programs (including Werner "Col. Klink" Klemperer, William "Captain Kirk" Shatner, and Leonard "Mr. Spock" Nimoy - all in the same episode!). In this first season, things are played straight, with dollops of humour here and there. Only in later seasons, in an attempt to keep up with "Batman" and "Get Smart", did things get silly, campy, and (let's face it) at times unwatchable. As one guidebook to the program once put it, U.N.C.L.E. had "dash". You can find it all here.

Reviewed in Canada on February 27, 2016
Even though this show aired a few years before I was born I love it. Still many episodes to watch and so far so good. My only complaint is the packaging. Season one was fine but two was horrible. Exchanged it twice at a local retailer. Eight of ten discs both times came loose. Very disappointed how cheap the quality of the case is. Beyond that, it's a fun show!

Good to see those spy films of the 60s again even though they became obsolete nowadays.
