Customer Reviews

Prices Are Out OF WHACK and Amazon Does Not Make it Easy to Correct or Inform
CAUTION: DO NOT BUY THE I SPY SERIES ON AMAZON. THE PRICING IS MESSED UP. The prices for the I Spy Boxed sets are progressively out of whack. List price is $39 per set. Amazon has $99 for first set; $150 for second set; and $200 for 3rd set. What is frustrating is that Amazon offers no easy way to call them and inform them that something is not quite right here (and give them the opportunity to fix it). Therefore, I'll do what they have you do with other resellers -- publicize their errors. I would have preferred to contact them so they could correct an obvious error, but they made it difficult to find a way to do so. At any rate: CAUTION: DO NOT BUY THE I SPY SERIES ON AMAZON. THE PRICING IS MESSED UP.

Buy it you'll lovw it
Wow this disc takes me back to grade school in the 1960s Culp and Cosby at their greatest. I got this as a Christmas gift and I have really enjoyed all of the episodes. I hope I get box set #2 & box set #3 next Christmas.

Own a piece of TV history
How often can a television series lay claim to having helped to change television, and, yes, even the world? I Spy did just that. This was the first series to star a White and a Black together, and I Spy marked the first time a Black actor won an Emmy ... three back-to-back Emmys, no less, for Bill Cosby as Best Lead in a Drama. Racial barriers were pushed aside when I Spy hit the air in September 1965. This was also the first series to shoot around the world and ushered in the technology to make that possible - film making techniques that are still used to this day! And this is where the "buddy picture" began. "Miami Vice, "Starksy & Hutch," "Lethal Weapon" all owe much to I Spy.
To find out how the makers of this series did it, how they accomplished the near impossible, read "I Spy: A History and Episode Guide to the Groundbreaking Series" ... then watch these episodes in a whole new light. They are more historic than you may yet know.
For the three box sets from Image, the DVD transfers are very good; the Robert Culp commentaries are well worth hearing; and you can use the above mentioned book as a guide to the proper order that the episodes were intended to be viewed - which will enhance the viewing experience.
This series should be remembered and cherished. TV was never the same again after it, and, in some ways, either were we.
