TMI (Today’s Movie Info)
“I SPY” was a TV series that ran from 1965-68, and was the first tv series that featured a black actor (Bill Cosby) in a lead role. Cosby and Robert Culp starred as American agent partners. When it first aired, many southern network affiliates would not show the series since it portrayed a black man and white man on equal level. The 2002 movie I Spy starred Eddie Murphy and Owen Wilson in the Cosby and Culp roles … as you might imagine, it was blasted by the critics and bombed at the box office.
