The Robert Culp Memorial Vid Post

[przed]

I 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:

Oh, that's lovely. *adds I Spy to Netflix queue*

Aw! You know...that got me misty. :-)

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.

Thanks for this. (Posting it, definitely. But even more: making it. I've always been so glad you did! *hug*)

I first saw this show with my American flat mates, one of whom was a HUGE fan. I got quite the indoctrination and really enjoyed it although it was never a slash thing for me.

It's a really interesting vid with an unusual choice of song and a lot of clips I really don't remember seeing.

Thanks.

I remember this vid - it caught my eye because it captured the emotion of the show. and it led me to meet you!

I watched I Spy first run at the age where I'd begun to be aware of the world beyond my history and my own arms' reach. It formed and shaped me, and it definitely spoiled me for shows since that have not progressed but regressed in how they handled all types of relationships. I Spy set me up for disappointment, but it also inspired me.

Is there a download link for this vid?

ETA: I found you by a link in morgandawn's DW.

I always loved this vid, and I think I never told you. Shame on me!
And I believe it's an amazing way to say good bye to Robert. :(
To me, he always would be Kelly. I just love that show so much! I think today I'll do my own homage with a marathon of I, Spy.

That vid was my introduction to the wonderfulness that is you.

Oh, it's so nice to see this again (even if it did make me teary) I love this show and this relationship. Robert Culp may be gone but my crush on him isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

Oh damn, this is so perfect. I had a hard time getting into the show because of the way I was trying to watch it, but this has reignited my desire to see it again.

Lovely, and a perfect way to salute RC's passing. Thank you.

I asked for your video-password more than a year ago - it's really great. Many of the chosen scenes have dark and intense emotions - maybe your next vid could show the other side to round ist - the lightness, the bantering, the playfulness? There were wonderful together, and it is so sad Robert Culp died.

Great vid. I must really watch some old episodes of this show. I've always been aware of it, but never watched it.
