DVD Reviews of I Spy - Season 1

DVD Review: It's region-free !!!!
Summary: 5 Stars

Weird title for a review but helpful for all europeans (like me). The disks are region-free and play just fine on every dvd player.

As for the show itself, it's fantastic. I tried it just because of the price and the 2 leading actors and i wasn't dissapointed. I had watched the 1st season of "The man from U.N.C.L.E" before the that and i pretty much hated it. Thankfully "I,spy" is a vastly superior show with real and subtle humor (not the silliness of "the man..."), good stories (if a bit dated but that's to be expected) , great acting and fantstic production values.

Bill Cosby is great and very serious in his role while Robert Cult impresses not only with his solid acting but with the way he moves around the scenery. The guy seems like he is a gymnastics' athlete in some action scenes.

The picture quality is a mixed bag. On the one hand the restoration is good and the picture is quite sharp and vivid and looks great on a good upscaler. On the other hand there are many dirty spots which might bother some people (not me).

For this price this set is a real bargain with many hours of entertainment. I definately plan on buying the remaining 2 seasons.

DVD Review: Tennis anywhere?
Summary: 5 Stars

This review covers all three seasons of "I Spy." Having never seen the complete first season during the 1960s, I was quite impressed with the quality of the scripts, Bill Cosby's acting-this was his first serious acting work after his brilliant start in stand-up comedy-and the overall sense of fun which this series possessed. Culp and Cosby played brilliantly off of each others' styles. Anyone who remembers the show would appreciate having this series in their collection. Anyone too young to remember the series should give it a try; great guest stars, solid storylines and the prototype for many series to follow are all here.

DVD Review: I Spy Once Again
Summary: 5 Stars

I bought this as a gift for a man who loves The Cosby Show and loves Bill Cosby. He had never heard of the show and enjoyed it very much. He was pleased that I gave it to him.

DVD Review: I Spy Season 1
Summary: 5 Stars

Enjoyable spy adventure. First two seasons shot primarily on location all over the world. Season 3 was filmed more in the US. The series is great for the mid-1960s location shots. Bill Cosby and Robert Culp are a good combo Tennis player/coach who spy for the feds. Highly recommended.

DVD Review: I Spy
Summary: 4 Stars

I remember the TV series and the adlibing between Cosby and Culp. It still works 30/40 years later. Excellent if you like some of the quality older shows.

Description of I Spy - Season 1

Robert Culp and Bill Cosby star as international espionage agents Kelly Robinson and Alexander Scott on highly dangerous missions in this ever-popular, award-winning series. Culp poses as a world-class playboy/tennis player, and Cosby goes undercover as his trainer. Together they travel the world, trading quips and fighting high-level crime with cool bravado and extraordinary savoir-faire. Combining humor with action/intrigue, "I Spy" was the first adventure TV series to be shot in exotic international locales, establishing a new standard for television dramas.
