Customer Reviews

Nostalgic Television at its finest
Bill Cosby and Robert Culp are truly amazing in this series. You can see the friendship onscreen in each episode. Set in the middle of the cold war this series may seem terribly old-fashioned to today's youth and those that watch the CSI-type shows, but the series has an enduring appeal with its focus on loyalty, honor and professionalism. I watched Mission Impossible with my parents, but I don't recall ever seeing this series when it ran originally. The shots of the Vegas strip and the skyline of Hong Kong show how old the footage is, but for me that just adds to the experience of watching classic, fascinating television.

RETRO CONTINUO
As with Season 1, I SPY-SEASON 2 has wonderful settings, music, dialogue, and photography, that bring back the age of the "COLD WAR,' along with other psycho-social struggles of that era known as "THE 60s." Get it. Watch it. Enjoy it.

All That Is I SPY!!
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.
