The Girl from U.N.C.L.E.

From Mental Block

The Girl from U.N.C.L.E. is a 1966-1967 American 'spy-fi' series that aired on the NBC television network. A spinoff of the popular 1964-68 series The Man from U.N.C.L.E., it starred Stephanie Powers as April Dancer, an U.N.C.L.E. secret agent who goes on missions with her partner Mark Slate (Noel Harrison). The series costarred Leo G. Carroll as U.N.C.L.E. chief Alexander Waverly. Envisioned as a sexy, hip, and campy companion to its parent series, Girl suffered from poor ratings and was cancelled after a single season.
