Ok let's see if we can agree on something! @Pro Bot mentioned The Man from Uncle movie that Bond cameo's in. Should I include the series as canon to this universe? It's not on Blu-ray yet so getting high definition screenshots is out of the question. I believe it has a spin-off called "the girl from Uncle".
 
If you do though, well, then I'd have no excuse for not adding The Man from U.N.C.L.E. to the Batman (1966) timeline, so...

Go ahead! :p

Okay, the reason why is that they couldn't 100% confirm that it's Bond for legal reasons. However, the evidence for it actually being THE James Bond is this:
A secret agent played by George Lazenby called JB who drives an Aston Martin, wears a white tux, is "just like On Her Majesty's Secret Service" (possibly an in-universe fictionalised film about Bond), and has a take on James Bond's theme. Additionally, The Man From U.N.C.L.E. was produced by MGM while MGM distributed the James Bond film series. The scene only works if you understand that the cameo IS James Bond.

Ok sounds good enough to me. Now I don't have the series on DVD is it available to stream anywhere? It's definitely going to take time for me to eventually watch it and timeline each and every episode.

There are a lot of Bond spoofs, I don't think they belong on a chronology.

Are we positive the Lazenby one is just a parody? And in "The Master" it's stated that "Mallory" IS a codename! So I def. think that could be James.

The Lazenby one is more of a plot point than a parody though. They need help, Bond comes to the rescue.

Yea I'm counting 1984's The Master and The Man From UNCLE. Both seem to be legit cameos. I LOVE that he's going by "Mallory" as one of his codenames. "It's as good as any." Any what Mr. Lazenby? Any codenames???

He's literally JB in U.N.C.L.E. specifically. It doesn't really work if you think of him as anything but the legitimate James Bond. I don't think it's a parody, I think it's supposed to be a legal loophole. They make it VERY obvious it's supposed to be him.

Yep I totally agree. Therefore "CANON"! lol

Which makes things very tough on me if I included The Man From U.N.C.L.E. in Earth-66's timeline.

Interestingly, one of the many novels for the series references The Avengers TV series, along with a few other notable characters.

If I split it up into the suggested separate realities (rather than having Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman be the same universe), then you end up with this craziness. Don't worry, as long as you ignore Batman '66 Meets The Man From U.N.C.L.E., none of this matters.

Earth-??
Adventures of Superman (1952-1956)

Earth-66 (George Reeves Superman variant)
The Avengers (1961-1969)
James Bond (1962-2002)
The Man from U.N.C.L.E. (1964-1968)
Batman (1966-1968)
The Green Hornet (1966-1967)
The Girl from U.N.C.L.E. (1966-1967)
The New Avengers (1976-1977)
Legends of the Superheroes (1979)

Window cameos
The Addams Family (1964-1966)
Lost in Space (1965-1968) (Batman '66 Comic Book Only)
Hogan's Heroes (1965-1971)
The Felony Squad (1966-1969)
Judd, for the Defense (1967-1969)

Earth-76 (Adam West Batman variant)
The Six Million Dollar Man (1973-1978)
Wonder Woman (1975-1979)
The Bionic Woman (1977-1978)

Anyway, regarding connections on different movies and shows:

Napoleon Solo has an uncredited cameo in The Glass Bottom Boat movie.


Please Don't Eat the Daisies has some crossovers with The Man from U.N.C.L.E., but I think they're more like the I Love Lucy/Adventures of Superman crossover in that they're not actually the guys from the show.
In a 1966 episode of the sitcom Please Don't Eat the Daisies titled "Say UNCLE", the young twins are fans of The Man From U.N.C.L.E. and become convinced that their father Jim is a secret agent. In one scene, they watch Jim emerge from a tailor shop similar to Del Floria's. Another man entering the shop asks Jim for a match, and Jim gives him his matchbook. The boys are astonished, because the other man is David McCallum, identified in the ending credits as Illya Kuryakin; they believe their father has just passed a secret message to the "real-life" Illya Kuryakin. The scene ends with the U.N.C.L.E scene transition: the action freezes and goes out of focus.

April Dancer also appears in S2 of the show. I don't know how to take this either. You decide.


Get Smart (1965 TV show) references the THRUSH organisation. I personally find it harder to take connections like this seriously though. There's no physical cameo linking it to the show, just an offhand comment about someone having worked for them at one point.

Anyway, if you're really serious about The Man from U.N.C.L.E., please let me know about any flashbacks or such. I'd totally be willing to include it over on my thread with a link to this one if you did.

This pretty much explains the "Please Don't Eat The Daisies" one, so I probably won't be including that.

The Glass Bottom is a comedy and the way it plays out also seems like Solo is recognized as the actor so I think we can throw that one out.

Get Smart is listed as a Spy Parody, so I think we can rule it out like the 1967 Casino Royale movie. However, take note of this:

Okay, let me explain better:

1. We can assume George Lazenby is meant to be playing the same Bond he did in On Her Majesty's Secret Service, which is the 1962 film series version.

2. Never Say Never Again is a remake of Thunderball, also starring Sean Connery. He's not supposed to be playing the same Bond he previously did.

Great work! If you plan on doing detailed time-stamp breakdowns like this for each film, I'll include it on the main post. Up to you!
