Best movie of this year hands down!

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

Smart writing and great acting made this series (part of the CBS late night line up) a stand out.Part action/adventure, part comedy, part budding romance, Adderly turned the spy drama on its head by putting the characters in some interesting situations.Undercover operative V.H. Adderly is injured/disabled while on a special mission and is reassigned to ISI's office of Miscellaneous Affairs. He hungers to get back in the spy game, but the low level nature of Miscellaneous Affairs means that he is reduced to mundane and ordinary assignments instead of his previous exciting life.Winston Rekert pours on the charm as the secret agent looking to jump back in the mix. Jonathan Welsh provides some comic relief as Adderly's tightly wrapped boss, Melville Greenspan. Veteran character actor Ken Pogue plays Maj. Clack (the head of ISI) with his usual tough guy swagger. And Dixie Seatle shines as Mona, the partner in crime/apprentice spy/secretary who assists Adderly in assignments that go from dull to dramatic in less than 60 minutes.What they didn't have in big budgets or spectacular special effects, they more than made up for in clever plots, strong character development and as stated before, some really inventive writing and storytelling (many episodes written by novelist Elliot Baker).I used to work late nights at a CBS affiliate during the run of this show, and enjoyed every episode of this smart, funny, engaging and entertaining program.

I used to love this show. It was one of a group of shows that were being produced in Ontario.The lead character of V.H. Adderly was a former field agent for an intelligence agency. The opening credits show how he got set-up and captured by the bad guys, who maim one of his hands. Unable to continue in the field he gets reassigned to a desk in a department that handles such important matters as escorting "chipmunk scouts" on field trips.Naturally Adderly sought every opportunity to prove he was still one of the best, even if he had to "loosely interpret" his orders. Ably assisted by Mona, the office secretary who dreams of being a female James Bond, and hampered by their bean counting rule following supervisor, the team never failed to provide a fun entertaining episode.If they'd release the series on DVD I'd be in line when the store opened.

I used to watch this show every week. I loved it and never missed an episode. It was so well written and acted. One of my favorite episodes was when Adderley got handcuffed to the bed by a lady spy from another nation.Is this on DVD as so many older shows are. I would love to get it on DVD then I could relive one of the greatest show in history. Not to mention that Adderley is very cute and I fell just a little in love with him.I am running out of things to say. I just want to post this and get out.Please, Please put it back on. Adderley Rules...

This was a wonderful show that demonstrates it's possible to make good television entertainment on a budget. Using a handicapped super-spy as an excuse to parody the inane workings of every day office life was inspired. Anyone who has ever been stuck in a job for which they are obviously over-qualified will immediately sympathise with Adderly, and with those who are supposed to supervise him.I first saw the programme on US late-night television (CBS?) in the 1980's, and I've never seen it again. No big special effects, no amazing stunts, no cast of thousands. Just a wonderful little show with humour and pathos.Isn't there somewhere in our 3000 channel universe where this could be re-run?
