 | I Spy - Season 1
Buy new: $15.49 / Used from: $13.15 I would suggest since each season of I spy is available at a cheap price--get them all.
I also suggest you start with Season One. Bill Cosby and Robert Culp are spys with a sense of humor and adventure. These shows were filmed on location, something usually not done for a weekly network show. Credit producer Sheldon Leonard for filming this abroad and with great guest casts
