Movie Reviews of I Spy - Season 3
Movie Review: All That Is
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
For more on I SPY, be sure to check on THE "definitive" book on the series - "I Spy: A History and Episode Guide to the Groundbreaking Television Series" by Marc Cushman and Linda J. LaRosa (with a foreword by Robert Culp)

... Besides providing a complete and in-depth background and "the Story Behind the Stories," it also includes the real order in which to watch the episodes, not just the way they were broadcast. Everyone connected with I SPY who could be interviewed - was - including writers and production staff, and even censors' reports are included. A really great book for anyone interested in I SPY who wants to know the complete story. And come check out the "I SPY FORUM" too -

Movie Review: When Spies were Cool
Summary: 5 Stars
The last season of one of the best action/adventure series ever to air on network tv. Extensive location photography and new music with each episode (something unheard of in tv) and the incredible chemistry between Robert Culp and Bill Cosby. This same year would see the cancellation of THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E. and the next year would see the demise of THE WILD, WILD WEST. The spy craze triggered by James Bond was winding down. Sean Connery had departed the role a year earlier. I am heartened to see this wonderful series available -- very affordable on dvd. A pity there is no commentary or interviews beyond the few with Culp. It would have been interesting to see them both reflect on this classic show. This last season has the one episode that has always stuck in my memory of the show: "Home to Judgment". This was probably the best single episode of the series.Movie Review: I Spy
Summary: 5 Stars
"I Spy" was my favorite TV show in the 60's. Purchasing this DVD complete my set of three seasons. I absolutely love it and am surprised about how many episodes and script I remember. "I Spy" was one of the first, if not the first, TV show that filmed on location. Some of the places filmed were Hong Kong, Morocco, Spain and many other places. Now that I'm older, I really do appreciate the scenery. This was a great buy.Movie Review: Great series! Great deal!
Summary: 5 Stars
It's about time the studios and DVD producers realize that we customers are getting tired(and darn mad!) about half season/full price issues of older TV shows. Splitting seasons and charging full price(twice!) only leads to apathy and discontinuance(i.e. Big Valley, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea etc:). Thanks for this fairly priced, simultaneous release. This is how it should be done!
BRAVO!!! GREAT SHOW!!!
Movie Review: "HEFNER BEATS THE BAD GUYS"
Summary: 5 Stars
If you're looking for "hippity bippity cool school" good-guy versus bad-guy, this is your cup of tea. Culp is Hefner on the girly-prowl, while Cosby is defining Black hipness and awareness, all while saving the world from the bad-guys. The music is fantastic, as are the location shots. Basically, it encapsulates the U.S. view of the Cold War with a beat.
Get it. Dig it.
