In the 1960s audiences were crazy for secret agents, and two of the coolest guys to go undercover were found on television's I Spy. Robert Culp and Bill Cosby played a pair of American agents whose cover story was that they were a pair of happy-go-lucky globetrotting athletes following the "tennis circuit." The show was considered something of a milestone in the 1960s for having an African American in a lead role, but when viewed decades later what's remarkable about the show is simply how much fun it was. In the four episodes in this package Culp and Cosby run around Hong Kong and Tokyo, looking totally cool in blazers, sneakers, and sunglasses, and their battles with agents working for "the other guys" always seem to involve beautiful women. The assignments given the unlikely agents, such as finding a foreign agent who is to be traded for an American spy plane pilot, or stopping "Red China's top scientists" from waging germ warfare, are utterly implausible. But who cares? What counts is that the agents engage in flashy martial arts slugfests with enemy agents, have gun battles in back alleys, and must always ponder the motivations of the aforementioned beautiful women. These programs epitomize escapist entertainment. --Robert J. McNamara

Customer Reviews of I Spy - Tigers of Heaven
Some really good co stars in this one I preface this review by saying I love I Spy and in my eyes both the two very talented and not bad to look at guys can do very little wrong in my eyes. <
>Yet I am afraid 'weight of the world' does irrate me somewhat. I know it was the 60's and things were different but the female agent is portrayed as a pain in the behind and the communist female agent is shown to succomb to vanity, that said it still is a pretty good offering if a little bit stilted. 'Always say goodbye' is exceptionally good, beautiful sets and scenery and some very funny set pieces and great lines. Robert Culp as Kelly is absolutely hilarious in this one especially all done up like a 'stuffed shirt' when he has a supper dupper hang over. 'Three hours on a Sunday night' is probably the best, very good intense characterisation espcially from Sheldon Leonard who plays a nasty piece of work very well. Julie London is also very good in this one as a wealthy sexy lady who is quite a match for Kelly. All in all not a bad selection from an excellent show.
