przedI figured there was no better day to finally put up a streamed version my I Spy vid. It was my very first vid, it's a bit rough around the edges, but it showcases a lot of what I love about Culp as Kelly Robinson.
ETA: I've put the downloadable version up on the password free version of my vid site:

Date: 2010-03-25 02:36 am (UTC)I don't know if younger fans realize just how wonderful this show is/was and how different it was when it first aired than anything else on TV. You had the international locations, the casting of an African-American as a true partner to his White costar, the famous improvisation Cosby and Culp inserted into nearly every script, and most importantly the chemistry between them. Certain things about that show might be locked in the mid-60's. But the relationship between Kelly and Scotty is as fresh today as it was 45 (yikes!) years ago. I loved that show.
And Robert Culp will be missed.

The location shooting on international locations makes it stand out even today. And the Cosby and Culp chemistry is outstanding.
Culp will definitely be missed.
