...They care about people doing things, and all at once." What makes Spy successful, adds Klein, is not plot ("They are silly or nonexistent") but an interesting and warm relationship that is projected by the two lead spies, Bill Cosby and Bob Gulp. The Monkees' story line defies logic, but the show is a hit with the kids. U.N.C.L.E. swings chiefly through gimmickry aided by action-not to mention what Keld calls the "tactile, TV hair" of Illya Kuryakin.

Every time there is a race riot in the U.S., they feel that there is a new group of white Americans who have been forced into seeing the logic of apartheid.
