Good analysis. I am an aficionado of the original TV series, even having bought all 6 seasons on DVD to watch. One thing that was a constant was edgy writing, yet some absolutely unbelievable cheese in every episode.
Sure, I can imagine people from the mid 1960's supping on these weekly installments, but in the hindsight of 50+ years, the cheese factor is what makes them so enjoyable.
Also, from the original series, the eastern block countries they parachute in, all have signs that are legible to us English speakers. Just classic cult shit that I love over and over.
