I had the chance to see syndie prints of nearly all the GFU episodes last year, and I'd say the series is good fun, though very uneven. Some of the stories are so outrageously campy that even I wind up shaking my head. Margaret Leighton's episode which includes a matter transmitter device I believe (a favorite Sixties conceit) and the show with Peggy Lee and Noel Harrison trading burlesque-style double-entendres while Powers is duking it out in the desert opposite Ruth Roman are both classics of their kind (and a very strange "kind" it is). Karloff is superb as Mother Muffin--they brought in Robert Vaughn's Napoleon Solo character for that one.
Oh, Yvonne de Carlo is in a particularly bizarre episode, too. Fun stuff.
