...Moron Smart. The new season had been billed as the big Bond payoff, and The Man from U.N.C.L.E. seemed to have found the right spoofing approach; even with reruns, U.N.C.L.E. managed during the summer to stay up in the top ten. But oh what sins producers commit when they begin to counterfeit. ABC's Jane Bond, Honey West (Anne Francis) has all the getaway gadgets -including tear-gas earrings and a garter that converts to a gas mask-but she has not a chance of escaping the banalities of her script.

If a one-year-old child can do it, a computer can't. A computer can calculate a trajectory to the moon.
