Who were the stars of the 1960s series I Spy?

Answer 1

Good morning!

I Spy was an American television secret agent adventure series. It ran on NBC from 1965 to 1968 and teamed Robert Culp as international tennis player Kelly Robinson, and Bill Cosby as his trainer Alexander Scott. In reality, they were both top agents for the Pentagon and, while ostensibly traveling as a tennis "bum" (a talented amateur who plays tennis with rich people in return for food and lodging), they were usually busy chasing villains, spies, and beautiful women. The show was produced by Desilu Productions.

I Spy broke new ground in that it was the first American television show to feature an African-American actor (Cosby) in a lead role. It was also notable that Cosby's race was never an issue in any of the stories. Nor was his character in any way subservient to Culp's, with the exception that Culp's character was a more experienced agent. Another way in which I Spy was a trailblazer was in its use of exotic international locations in an attempt to emulate the James Bond film series, but this was unique for a television show, especially since the series actually filmed its lead actors at locations ranging from Japan to Italy, rather than relying on photography and stock footage.

William Henry "Bill" Cosby, Jr., Ed.D. (born July 12, 1937) is an American actor, comedian, television producer, and activist. He received an Ed.D. from the University of Massachusetts for his doctoral thesis on "Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids", an educational children's cartoon series he created.

Robert Martin Culp (born August 16, 1930 in Oakland, California), and a 1947 graduate of Berkeley High School, is an American actor, best known for his work on television.

Culp also had a guest appearance on The Cosby Show, 9 April 1987 (Season 3, Episode 23)

A movie remake I Spy followed in 2002 with Eddie Murphy and Owen Wilson. As with most remakes, it diverged from its source material, including for some reason switching the character names around so that Alexander Scott (Wilson) was now the experienced agent and Kelly Robinson (Murphy) the amateur, possibly in reference to Murphy's popular Mr. Robinson character on Saturday Night Live. The film was a commercial and critical flop.

circulate to the liquor shop and purchase some drink mixes. All you should do is upload the alcohol. some even have the alcohol in them already too, yet no longer very a lot. you may get Margarita combination, Mudslide combination, Daiquiri combination, etc. in case you rather have the opt to make some thing sturdy nevertheless, in basic terms get a drink recipe e book and cause them to from scratch.
