GamerTab That was an excellent one.

SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped

Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

gridoon2018 A lot of people seem to pan this TV series for being too campy; I don't have as much of a problem with that as with the fact that it's not as much fun as it could have been. The two leads, Stefanie Powers and Noel Harrison, are likable enough, Leo G. Carroll provides dependably gruff support, there are lots of famous guest stars, and the production is colorful. However, the direction is usually pedestrian, the pacing sluggish, the scripts talky, the globe-trotting unconvincing, and the title misleading, since about 95% of the action is handled by Mark Slate and not by April Dancer; on the rare occasion she has a fight, she almost always loses. It's not a terrible show, it has some 1960s nostalgia value, but it is rather disappointing. ** out of 4 for the series as a whole, a couple of episodes might get an extra half-star.

ShadeGrenade Such was the popularity of 'The Man From U.N.C.L.E.' in 1965 that a spin-off was planned. An episode of the second series - 'The Moonglow Affair' - saw Solo and Kuryakin temporarily written out, and their places taken by agents 'April Dancer' and 'Mark Slate', played by Mary Ann Mobley and Norman Fell respectfully. It did well, and a series was commissioned - but with two important changes. The lead roles were recast; in came a young Stefanie Powers as 'Dancer' and British actor Noel Harrison ( son of Rex ) as 'Slate'. Leo G.Carroll, of course, played 'Mr.Waverly'.I did not see this when it first went out, but viewed it recently. It is enjoyably daft hokum, with plots involving such unlikely ideas as a dog's fleas used to carry a microdot, a Kali statue coming to life and throwing daggers, the entrance to the lost city of Atlantis turning out to be in some caves in the Caribbean, an island colony of shipwrecked survivors, a health spa that makes its customers youthful, and Boris Karloff ( in drag ) as the head of a gang of killers who wear flat caps and speak bad Cockney. This hailed from the same era as 'The Monkees' and 'Batman', and it shows.Powers is beautiful and glamorous, though it is a pity that 'April' was not given more to do in the action department. In the last episode I saw ( 'The U.N.C.L.E. Samurai Affair' ), she was attacked by a frogman, and after putting up token resistance, went to hide while Slate dealt with him. She should have chucked him over her shoulder the way Mrs.Peel did in 'The Avengers'. It does seem bizarre to call a show 'The Girl From U.N.C.L.E.' and then depict its main character as a helpless bimbo heavily reliant on a male sidekick. Another mistake was the reuse of Jerry Goldsmith's 'Man From U.N.C.L.E.' theme, here given a trendy new arrangement.I warmed more to Harrison's 'Slate'. Obviously intended to be the show's answer to David McCallum, he is rather good as a foppish hero in the 'Jason King' mold. But whose idea was it to cast a teenage boy ( 'Randy Kirby' ) as an U.N.C.L.E. agent? Robert Vaughn played 'Solo' in 'The Mother Muffin Affair', at exactly the same time Harrison was guesting on the parent show. In the U.K., 'Girl' was shown in rotation with 'Man', but in the U.S.A., they were screened more or less together. Viewers found two 'U.N.C.L.E.' shows a week a bit much to take, and 'Girl' was dropped after a single season.Less comedy and more action ( for April ) would have been beneficial for the show. Sam Rolfe's superb first season of 'Man' should have been the blueprint for 'Girl'.Best episode - 'The Atlantis Affair' ( written by 'I am Legend' author Richard Matheson ) Worst episode - 'The Paradise Lost Affair'.

Glenn A completely missed opportunity! It had promise, it great pedigree and decent acting talent. What we ended up with, was a parody on the original series, but without the wit necessary to pull it off. Completely wasted are Stephaie Powers (aka April Dancer) and Noel Harrison (aka Mark Slade). While the music for the series (by Dave Grusin and Richard Shores) was excellent, the scripts were embarrassingly BAD. Even help from Robert Vaughn and Boris Karloff ("The Mother Muffin Affair") weren't enough to stop this ultimate train wreck of a series spin off. So bad was the odor from this show, I believe it also helped in the early demise of the Man From UNCLE (of course, in it's 3rd season, that show had it's own writing problems). Still, if your looking for light fluff, and enjoy "bad" TV shows, you could do worse. I recommend getting the Man From UNCLE Vol. 3 soundtrack (from Film Score Monthly) and enjoy the music from this show. If this show is ever released on DVD, I recommend a couple glasses of wine to ease the pain.

Nick Zbu This show was born from the potential from it's parent show, The Man From UNCLE, in a fantastic episode called "The Moonglow Affair." However, due to some mysterious fluke the producers changed the actors in the lead. This was a fatal flaw: not due to the actors, but their chemistry was very far off.The plots of "Girl" were troubled and not very interesting. Even the supposed 'best' episode, "The Mother Muffin Affair," (starring Boris Karloff in drag), is at best a meddling excuse for a show. Such a disappointment.If "Girl" can prove anything, it's that sometimes even the best of intentions can bear no fruit. A real shame, too.
