  1. even in the 70s I thought SWAT and Starsky & Hutch were outrageous parodies of the then-obsession with urban policing in the Patty Hearst era. Although occasionally witty, I thought Get Smart was for kids. I actually liked the Man From UNCLE, it's even somewhat more interesting than the tv series. Addams Family Values is that rare tv-to-movies artistic success. The Untouchables series was far superior to the movie, despite Connery's iconic performance, second only to Bond. As for M:I, the series is IMO the best ever made; the movie franchise are just action fests, they do not come close to the series' psychological mind games. And turn Jim Phelps, an American patriot, into a traitor and give him a dishonorable death? I'm still steamed about that nearly 30 years later. The Fugitive, tv series and movie, are equally as good, though for different reasons.
