Robert Culp & Bill Cosby took the world by storm with their wry humour and impulsive reactions that came across so chemically balanced on screen. In my book, Robert Culp is a very much under-rated actor whose abilities exploded with his acting, writing and directing capabilites in the emmy winning I Spy series. I'd love to meet the man face to face just to express my appreciation for his remarkable talents. Hats off to a great acting team of Culp&Cosby...

In the First Episode-Bet Me A Dollar-Alexander Scott(Bill Cosby)races against the clock to find Alexander Scott(Robert Culp) within 24 hours to give him an antidote from anthrax poisoning caused by a knife fight that could prove fatal.In the 2nd episode-Happy Birthday Everyone-Gene Hackman guest stars as Frank Hunter(an insane explosives expert)seeking revenge after escaping from a mental institution to stalk down Tom Matthews(Jim Backus)a retired State Department Agent who turned him in.It's up to Secret Agents Alexander Scott and Kelly Robinson to save Matthews as they try to diffuse Hunter's ingenious scheme of revenge.These are superb classic 1968 episodes filmed on location in Mexico.The Cool Spies Rule!!
