The Masters - Collin Morikawa (among others) pretty much folded on the
final day, and Scottie Scheffler ran away with it, so I'm kind of glad
that I had to stop watching before the end of this, to go give my
review session. The only semi-good part was Brit Tommy Fleetwood kind
of surging on the final day, but not by nearly enough to come close to winning it. Swede Ludvig berg came in second.
Yesterday, I had to give a review session, and focus on grading, but I
still got through a decent amount of TV:

I *want* to like this movie but it just rubs me the wrong way. But it's
one of those movies that I keep watching hoping that this time maybe
it'll be good.
I watched:
The Man from U.N.C.L.E. (HBO) 2014 spy movie based on the TV show
directed by Guy Ritchie. Set in the 1960s Henry Cavill stars as a
smooth talking Gentleman/con artist who works for the CIA and is
assigned to rescue a kidnapped scientist's daughter (Alicia Vikander)
from East Berlin. Armie Hammer also stars as a Russian KGB agent who is assigned to stop him. But soon the two are forced by their governments
to team up and work together to stop a new rival group from developing a
new type of nuclear bomb. Hugh Grant also pops up as a British MI6
agent who runs to the two agents. This was my first time watching it
since seeing it in the theater. I guess it was OK.

How much of a fan of the TV show were you?

Not much of one.’ I don't recall watching reruns when I was a kid.
Although I'm sure I must have watched one or two episodes at some point.
’Much like Mission Impossible, I knew the show existed but never went
out of my way to watch reruns of it.’ Also keep in mind my ability to
even watch was extremely limited given the show was canceled nearly a
decade before I was even born... :-)
Was the movie like the original show?’ I was actually curious if
Cavill's counterpart in the show was also a thief blackmailed by the CIA into working for them.

FTR, I don't think either this, or "Wild, Wild West" was being rerun
when I was a kid (a few years before you!). WWW may have been, rarely.
But I don't think "Man from UNCLE" ever was - if it was, I have no recollection of it at all
Although I'm sure I must have watched one or two episodes at some point.

MI may have been rerun when I was a kid. But I really wasn't exposed to
it until the 80s writers strike, when ABC just remade old episodes.
