Lulu Is a Spy??

[MonacoMan]

I’m currently watching the mid to late 60s spy series The Man From U.N.C.L.E. (1964-1968). I’m currently watching a late Season 1 episode (“The Love Affair”) from March of 1965. Peggy Rea had a bit-part as a goofy, “revivalist”, lol! 🤪

That's interesting! Good to hear from you MonacoMan.

I've just found that episode online and watched it. Compared to shows that came only a couple of years later, it looks so dated.

I knew I recognized the bad guy Brother Love (Eddie Albert) from somewhere, and looking through his filmography, I realized it was the feature length pilot of 'The Fall Guy'. He played Big John Cramer, a corrupt Arizona sheriff who knocks a boy off his bike in Hollywood and then jumps bail when he's told that the boy has died. The episode also had a couple of familiar faces from Dukes. Kathrine Baumann, one of the car strippers from 'Arrest Jesse Duke', had a bit part as a woman who Colt and Howie question briefly, and Dennis Fimple, the preacher from 'Daisy's Shotgun Wedding', played the lead deputy.

Hey Monaco Man! Great to see you! We've missed you! Don't be a stranger! Hey, we get into some pretty wild discussions on here when there's several citizens of Hazzard in here, so we need everybody to keep the discussions going here in town!

I love shows from all decades & I’d not seen “U.N.C.L.E.” before, but yeah…it’s pretty dated, and in my opinion fairly corny & hokey even for the 60s! 🤓 I was kind of disappointed. Compared to Mission Impossible (which was around the same time), it was like an SNL spoof of a spy show. 🤪

But, the “Dukes” people were interesting  to see, and seeing main characters in other or previous roles is always fun. 👍

Thanks, Hobie…It’s always fun having “Dukes” conversations with other fans! 😁 👍
