The Flaming Lips are keeping it in the family as they tour their latest album. In support are the previously unheralded Stardeath and White Dwarfs, though look closely and you will find uncanny similarities between the two bands. Their young singer's high-pitched, childlike quality owes much to Lips frontman Wayne Coyne and, indeed, shares his surname. For Dennis Coyne is none other than Wayne's nephew....

It Takes A Thief Finally Coming To DVD? This isn't news, per se ; it's a rumor... but it's a good one! And apparently from a reliable source. TVShowsOnDVD (a very reliable source itself) reports that the wheels are in motion to bring the last remaining classic Sixties spy show not yet available on DVD to that format at last. That's right, I'm talking about It Takes A Thief , starring Robert Wagner...

FROM U.N.C.L.E. TO NCIS Practically every 60s starlet I have interviewed who appeared on The Man from U.N.C.L.E. had nothing but praise for David McCallum who played sexy blond Russian agent Illya Kuryakin. He was the friendly one compared to co-star Robert Vaughn who was described as being aloof and private. So it is nice to hear that McCallum is still going strong (and looks great) with a supporting...

Moving on, we come to the much more enjoyable adventures of Mike Nelson. Can remember enjoying this back on its original run, partly due to a 13 year-olds spy obsession with the Man From Uncle and Bond shenanigans and partly by the crimingly over-looked art of Pat Wright. His art stills holds up here in these representitive tales but reading as an adult, i can tell now how much its swiping from Day...

During the “spy craze” of the mid-1960s, my favorite TV show was The Man from U.N.C.L.E.* The show was about a secret agent who worked for a global police force that was funded by most of the nations of the world. (U.N.C.L.E. stood for “United Network Command for Law and Enforcement”—although originally the producers wanted [...]

Above a collection of house plants on the built-in shelves in the paneled and enclosed back porch of my paternal grandmother's house were dozens of old Western novels, including several by Zane Grey. I can not report that I read them as a boy. I was not a dedicated reader at the time, being more prone to watching The Man from U.N.C.L.E. or Mission Impossible . So I grew up with some mistaken assumptions...

• In case you haven’t been keeping up, it was 45 years ago this week that the spy series The Man from U.N.C.L.E. debuted on American television. As The HMSS Weblog recalls, “The show featured a dashing worldly hero, Napoleon Solo. Ian Fleming, during a very brief period when he was involved with the project, had helped name him. Fleming quickly dropped out, at least in part because...

The onetime 'Man From U.N.C.L.E' teen heartthrob has another hit on his hands some 40 years later with 'NCIS.' David McCallum has heard this story before. But ever the gentleman, he listens intently as a female baby boomer relates how he made her pre-teen heart skip more than a few beats as the blond, blue-eyed Russian-born secret agent Ilya Kuryakin on NBC's 1964-65 espionage series "The Man...
