 The shows third season saw a change of style that resulted in the  amount of comedy being increased in response to the "camp" craze  made popular by _"Batman" (1966/II)_ (qv) and  _"Get Smart" (1965)_ (qv). As a result, UNCLEs ratings plummeted  and the series never recovered. Despite a return to serious stories  the next year, it was cancelled midway through its fourth season.
