"U.N.C.L.E.'s main nemesis was T.H.R.U.S.H. (Technical Hierarchy for the Removal of Undesirables and the Subjugation of Humanity), a group whose primary purpose it was to take over the world by some means or another. Each week viewers were treated to full-fledged espionage and international intrigue, complete with a spy's customary high-tech gadgets." (http://edge.edge.net/~lunsford/MFU.html)
