One of the reasons I like the series is because of the pop culture references.

(His name on UNCLE was Illya Kuryakin). I laughed and laughed- thought that was very unlike the TV industry to make an inside joke like that.Sharkbyteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10139935335209860357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3535543883262225735.post-14708143610953655142013-09-19T06:57:56.763-04:002013-09-19T06:57:56.763-04:00I didn't make that connection until now, but w...I didn't make that connection until now, but what a great thing to be still vibrantly working.

I've seen a smattering of NCIS episodes but didn't recognize this fellow as Illya Kuryakin.<br /><br />Of course, I hardly watch TV anymore, so perhaps I just hadn't had enough exposure.<br /><br />But it's great that the guy is still working. Hollywood is not kind to the aged; i.e., anyone over about age 35.Jimhttp://blog.jimgrey.netnoreply@blogger.com
