I own the horribly packaged I Spy DVD sets where instead of placing episodes in running order, they were grouped by location (first timers to the series will wonder why these supposed international jet-setters spent 8 months in Hong Kong, followed by 8 months in San Francisco, etc.). Still worth buying to hear the late Robert Culp's commentary on two episodes, one of them the pilot. One to avoid was the UNCLE reunion found in the ill-advised final season of The A-Team, aka the phone-it-in season or the let-Frankie-do-it season. -- -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
