For Better or Werts : TV Worth Watching

TV WORTH BUYING: 'Man From U.N.C.L.E.' box at half-price!

Another great deal on another collectible TV classic. The Man From U.N.C.L.E. is on sale Friday only as Amazon's deal of the day -- the complete series boxed in a cool attache case.

For $83, you get all four seasons of the '60s spy saga with Robert Vaughn as Napoleon Solo and David "Ducky" McCallum as Illya Kuryakin, working together across the Iron Curtain to thwart the nefarious forces of THRUSH. Note that the season sets are placed into the box separately in standard packaging, unlike many full-series releases.

Amazon's regular Man From U.N.C.L.E. price is $169 (the box lists at $200), so it's a half-price deal even from the online retailer's usual discount.

This set also gets bonus points for including among its four commemorative booklets a savvy essay by our own David Bianculli.

Diane Werts has been glued to the tube since she can remember, growing up in a household where the TV came on first thing in the morning and stayed on till bedtime and beyond. She worked for the USA Film Festival, then for The Dallas Morning News writing about everything from Shakespeare to macrame art to rock music (and has the hearing loss to prove it). She moved to New York's Newsday to edit their glossy TV magazine, then returned to writing about television, specializing in its stranger permutations. She's a past president of the Television Critics Association.
