Editorial Review: Description: Robert Culp and Bill Cosby star as international espionage agents Kelly Robinson and Alexander Scott on highly dangerous missions in this ever-popular, award-winning series. Culp poses as a world-class playboy/tennis player, and Cosby goes undercover as his trainer. Together they travel the world, trading quips and fighting high-level crime with cool bravado and extraordinary savoir-faire. Combining humor with action/intrigue, "I Spy" was the first adventure TV series to be shot in exotic international locales, establishing a new standard for television dramas. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - I Spy a Winner!I Spy was a series ahead of its time. The Civil Rights movement was in full swing and there was Bill Cosby, a co-star of a hit series and co-billed with Robert Culp. Fans will recall that Cosby's character Alexander Scott was a Rhodes scholar, and his race was never an issue. The clever reparte between Scott and Culp's Kelly Robinson made each episode fun to watch, even when the stories might sometimes be a bit lightweight. And, it was filmed on location in Hong Kong, Japan, Mexico, Italy, Spain, ... Read More Rating:  - Not what I remember...As many of you who have bought this product or are considering it, I was born in the early 50's and remember television through the 60's very fondly. I remember this show as being exciting and very visual. I liked both stars a lot back then. However, times change. I have purchased many dvd collections of shows from this period and I have to say this about the most boring of them all. I am sure it is both the fault of romantic notions of the time and being exposed to better programs over time. Nice locations, ... Read More Rating: - I Spy holds up wellMy brothers and I watched I Spy when it first aired and in syndication, and I've just started watching the first season on DVD. I love the location shoots, with now-familiar character actors like Mako, James Hong and Beulah Quo, and the writing holds up reasonably well, too. I had recalled Kelly and Scotty as equals, but in the first several episodes, Robinson certainly seems to be the lead agent. They are friends, however, and both use the word "wonderfulness," the title of one of Cosby's comedy ... Read More Rating:  - The Price is RightIt's great to watch this show again after so many years. Many of the other shows from the era slid into silliness, but I Spy was a class act. These transfers are not too bad. They are a bit dirty, particularly the (excellent) opening graphics. So, essentially, this isn't quite on par with the transfer of The Invaders for instance. Shadow areas are also a bit crushed. Overall the presentation is nice and is quite pleasant upconverted. The price is what hooked me into buying the first season. No regrets, but I would ... Read More Rating: - FantasticTo sum it up in a nut shell. Great picture quality, great sound and above all, great fun. If you love the old classic T.V shows, then you owe it to yourself to get I Spy. Well worth it. Browse for similar items by category:
