Remember the TV shows from the ‘70s like The Six Million Dollar Man?
Remember whenever the Soviet agents were introduced on the episodes with thick Russian accents?
Remember how they always seemed to forget how to do their accents by the end of the episodes?
Those were the days.
I remember "Mission Impossible" and the protagonists going to multiple foreign countries able to speak the foreign language perfectly. Strangely enough, it all sounded like English with a bad Slavic accent. (snicker)
