Gosh! How to make a lady feel old!

My sisters and I never missed an episode of “Man from U.N.C.L.E.” My eldest sister at about age 16 insisted she would grow up to marry a spy just like Illya Kuryakin. She didn’t. But we certainly had fun pretending to be spies and ferreting out information in our household.

Unfortunately for us spies, there was not much to learn. Mom and Dad worked all the time, one sister was seeing a guy that our parents probably wouldn’t approve of, and bills came due and were placed in the mailbox once a month. Although we had high hopes for the neighbor’s son being a double-ought spy, we were disappointed to learn that espionage was not a regular part of the lives of any of our neighbors, and he was just an army grunt.

Pretty interesting answers. Almost everyone is mentioning the Man from Uncle (1960s) rather than whatever tv show is newer. If we were polling, we are all old and on medicare!!!!!!!
