synopsis
Robert Culp and Bill Cosby starred in the TV espionage series I Spy as tennis star Kelly Robinson and his trainer, Alexander Scott. Robinson and Scott, however, were also international spies, and used Robinson's globetrotting from one tournament to the next as a cover for their high-risk assignments. Filmed on location around the world, I Spy gave Bill Cosby his first weekly TV exposure and earned a number of Emmy and Golden Globe awards in its three-year run.
