Well, I totally want to find Man from U.N.C.L.E. repeats now.
Wrod. I was probably 6 when they were on the air, so I remember nothing of them. I hope they're cheesetastic fun.
Mal: So we run. Nandi: I understand, Captain Reynolds. You have your people to think of, same as me. And this ain't your fight. Mal: Don't believe you do understand, Nandi. I said 'we run'. We.

My parents watched that show, but I really don't remember it.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
I had a crush on Ilyia! But I liked the other guy, too. I was 9 when it started.

The Man From U.N.C.L.E. was appointment TV when I was a kid. Napoleon Solo and Ilyia Kuryakin were so cool! My friends and I played "spy" at school during recess (when we weren't playing Batman that is)

Napoleon Solo is a bit sleazy, in the old James Bond manner, but there are lots of whiz bang things. Their crusty old boss was also fun. Girl From U.N.C.L.E. also had its moments.

Napoleon Solo! That was his name! How could I have forgotten that?

Most of my knowledge comes from hunting down the old comic books, Big Little Books (boy, I miss my Big Little Books, which would apparently be worth large money now), and various kid-oriented novelizations. Ilya always came off as wonderfully snarky.

And he was cute!
There was one episode of NCIS when the subject of what people were like when they were younger, and Ducky remarked in passing that "I looked just like Ilyia Kuriachin." I love the writers for that!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Actually, it's Gibbs who says that. Not quite totally self-referential.

And the pictures of Ilyia in Ducky's house on Mrs. Mallard's bedside table. I quite enjoy when they use an actor's history as part of the character's history. They do that in Castle, when his mom is occasionally looking at tapes of her old parts and Castle comes in and says something like, "Oh, revisting your prom?" when there was something from Incredible Hulk.
