The wonderfulness of their charm and wit.

"I've just completed watching all three boxed sets of this fantastic television series. I must say, I thoroughly enjoyed every episode. This is an incredibly entertaining and ground-breaking show. At the time this series came out, the cold war was in full swing and many of the issues they deal with were very "in the now" at that turbulent time. It's interesting to see that many of these issues have resurfaced in today's world making I Spy less dated than you'd think it might be.

What sets box set #3 apart from the rest are the fascinating audio commentaries by Mr. Culp. They are truly entertaining and I wish there were more. It's wonderful to hear such a terrific actor expound on many of his experiences as well as the life lessons he learned during the filming of the series and throughout his life. The only thing that would have improved this set was if there was also input from Mr. Cosby. I'd love to have seen his side of things as well.

It's a sophisticated show dealing with both entertaining and sometimes pretty serious issues. There's plenty of action, romance, intrigue, and danger. But through it all, it's filled with a wealth of wit and loyalty between Kelly and Scotty. I've enjoyed every minute and I can't wait to start on my second viewing."

Great Show

These are the order of the shows. From reading other reviews the box sets are NOT in order. They have shows from each season. They are not Complete Seasons as one might expect. I can only review the few I've seen. Some seem long and drawn out with no real point, but Robert Culp and Bill Cosby are entertaining. There are several that are well written. It is funny to watch the karate chops and kicks....well executed for that time period. Culp and Cosby are good together and entertaining, and they are what make the show."
