I just watched the premiere episode of I Spy. Exquisite show. Magnificent show.



Next up: The Girl From U.N.C.L.E.



Ya gotta love vintage TV.

1. 1965-1968, NBC, Robert Culp and Bill Cosby.
The entire series is out on DVD...

The Man from UNCLE is soon to come out as one large box set (2008; Time-Life if I recall rightly...)

2. I have six or seven I SPY DVDs myself. :)
I'll say this, the opening sequence still counts as one of the best of ALL TIME.

I LOVED this show as a kid growing up.

Although, I have to admit, watching some episodes now, I wish I could take Kelly by the throat sometimes and say "Everything's not a joke, man!"

Some of my favorite episodes:

So Coldly Sweet
Bet Me a Dollar
So Long, Patrick Henry
The Loser
A Cup of Kindness
One Thousand Fine


(As I write this, I'm watching Patrick McGoohan pre-Prisoner in Danger Man -- another vintage best -- and of course, I own the entire Prisoner collection, too.) :)
