Great series! Great deal! |
It's about time the studios and DVD producers realize that we customers are getting tired(and darn mad!) about half season/full price issues of older TV shows. Splitting seasons and charging full price(twice!) only leads to apathy and discontinuance(i.e. Big Valley, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea etc:). Thanks for this fairly priced, simultaneous release. This is how it should be done!
BRAVO!!! GREAT SHOW!!! |

I Spy season 3 |

I Spy is a great show I wish it could be on now. Bill Cosby and Robert Culp are so funny. They are great spy too. Always get their job done. They just have that special thing that makes a duo great |

All That Is |
GREAT NEWS ... I SPY is back again on DVD!! If you didn't pick-up the original set or have always wanted to see this great show from the 60s - now's your chance - and at a great price! I SPY was definitely the coolest and most realistic of the "spy genre" shows on 60s TV. The banter between Culp and Cosby is unsurpassed; the mixture of action/adventure/intrigue and comedy/romance/exotic locations is a joy to watch; plus the amazing music of Earle Hagen, add up to a viewing experience you won't want to miss.

When Spies were Cool |
|
The last season of one of the best action/adventure series ever to air on network tv. Extensive location photography and new music with each episode (something unheard of in tv) and the incredible chemistry between Robert Culp and Bill Cosby. This same year would see the cancellation of THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E. and the next year would see the demise of THE WILD, WILD WEST. The spy craze triggered by James Bond was winding down. Sean Connery had departed the role a year earlier. I am heartened to see this wonderful series available -- very affordable on dvd. A pity there is no commentary or interviews with Culp and Cosby. This last season has the one episode that has always stuck in my memory of the show: "Home to Judgment". This was probably the best single episode of the series. |

Cool Spies, Cool Series |
This is the last season of I Spy. It featured a lot of upcoming actors (Gene Hackman, Richard Kiel), and some that were well known (Will Geer, Andrew Duggan, Jim Backus). Locations were in Greece, Morocco, and mostly Mexico and USA. Still, another great season, with some excellent scripts and a few good ones from Robert Culp. A great series. Cool, comedic rapport between Culp and Cosby. Loved the series and looking forward to watching it again, after 40 years. See my reviews for Seasons 1 and 2.

If I have one gripe, it's the plastic casing. The DVDs are so tightly packed within it's easy to crack a disc, which I did after viewing the first 3 episodes on disc 1. So, be careful when removing the discs and opening the case. |
