Description:
In the early months of 1965, actor and screenwriter Robert Culp undertook a task that would change his life forever. Secretly working without the knowledge of the show's producers, he wrote several scripts for "I Spy." Ultimately these scripts would become some of the series' most popular and acclaimed shows. Now, for the first time, Robert Culp candidly reveals the intriguing story behind the scenes of "I Spy" in unique and exciting commentaries about this groundbreaking television series. Episodes: "So Long, Patrick Henry" - Heavily guarded, Browne and his fiancee, Princess Amara, arrive in Hong Kong, where Browne's endorsement of the proposed Afro-Asian Olympics will result in a propaganda coup for the Reds. Co-Starring Ivan Dixon and Cicely Tyson. "The Loser" - Ring-leader General Chu orders nightclub owner Ramon to hold straight-jacketed Scotty in Angel's dressing room until Kelly Robinson surrenders a huge cache of heroin which the agents intercepted the day before. Co-Starring Eartha Kitt. "The Tiger" - Dr. Owen McLean, known by the natives as the Tiger Who Walks Upright, has refused to ally himself with any political movement in the country where he has spent his professional life. Co-Starring Lew Ayres and France Nuyen. Audio Commentary by actor/writer Robert Culp

This is, by far, THE greatest I spy video ever! The storyline, the actors, and great locations. Bill Cosby and Robert Culp proformed great stunts, the storyline was well thought out, and the locations featured all the famous cities! Let me refrase, This IS THE BEST I spy video ever!

"I Spy" is that rare show that transcends its genre. Sure it was a espionage program, but it was also high adventure, witty comedy and riveting drama. "So Long Patrick Henry" showcases three gems in this remarkable series: the aforementioned title episode, 'The Loser,' and 'The Tiger.'
It's no coincidence that the best episodes of "I Spy" were written by Robert Culp. Culp episodes have the distinction of brilliant dialogue, taut plotlines and memorable characterizatons. They also hold ... Read More

So Long Patrick Henry is genuinely suprising by way of the sheer scope that these three episodes cover. I can state categorically owning the entire series of I Spy that these three episodes and The Warlord set of episodes are the best. Robert Culp is an exceptionally gifted writer as well as actor. As a massive fan who was not alive at the time of first broadcast I thoroughly enjoyed his insightful, riveting and intelligent commentaries. He definitely has etched a little piece of himself onto these ... Read More

Since other reviewers have commented on the high quality of the dramas on these two discs, I want to talk about the audio commentary by actor/writer Robert Culp, which is, if you are interested in how series TV was created in the Sixties, reason enough to buy these DVDs. Mr. Culp talks engagingly and personally about the genesis of the series; his troubled professional relationship with producer Sheldon Leonard; his unsuccessful attempts to get Sam Peckinpah hired onto the show as a director; the unadulterated ...

Robert Culp saved "I Spy" from being just another spy show during the James Bond craze of the early and mid-sixties. He saved it by writing intelligent scripts that were long on characterization and tight, swiftly-moving plots, a stark difference from the wincingly trite bill of fare offered up to us on shows like "The Man From U.N.C.L.E." and others. Culp's scripts showed us that Robinson and Scott were a couple of CIA working-stiff operatives with plenty of heart, rather than comic book superheroes in tight ... Read More
