Trivia:
Bill Cosby's character, Alexander Scott, was originally intended to be an older mentor to Robert Culp's trainee agent, Kelly Robinson. Executive producer Sheldon Leonard cast Cosby in the role after seeing one of his routines (Scott was originally intended to be a Caucasian). Due to this casting change, the writers thought an occasional reference to Cosby's race would be a necessity, given the tumult of the times. In an early episode, "Danny Was a Million Laughs", guest star Martin Landau's character makes a racial joke at Scott's expense. Culp and Cosby demanded that no more racial jokes be done, and none were for the run of the series. See more »

Alexander Scott: This is how far a cigarette burns in five minutes.
Kelly Robinson: Is there no limit to the wonderfulness of your mind.

The Best Series in TV History, 22 May 2003
Author: Tom Tobin from Southern California

I noticed that no one had commented in a few years, and that's sad considering the level of quality to which this series aspired. There were a few clunker episodes when it became too self-conscious, but there were so many more that surpassed most feature films in terms of photography, writing, acting and the courage to explore and expand horizons. Those who contributed to I Spy should be proud of their work, and I appreciate and respect it. By the way, remembering Robert Culp just laying waste to the evil Jack Cassidy (after Culp took a beating in the boxing ring) makes me giggle like a schoolgirl. Oh, yeah!
