Okay kids.

I like my spy shows. Always have. Some obviously are better than others. One of the first I can remember being fascinated with was I Spy. They used to show it in rerun on Nick at Nite. Bill Cosby and Robert Culp as a pair of spies operating under the cover of a tennis player and his trainer. It had a simple format with a more gritty take on spying than say the man from uncle. No James Bond gadgets or anything. It was made in 1965 and it featured black and white actors as direct costars. It dealt with race in subtle fashion without ignoring it. They had episodes set in Vietnam in a time when that would be pretty risky to talk about as people were still fighting there. Over all a really good show. It suffers from some 1960's television issues with reused actors and sets from time to time. Overall though it holds up well especially in the witty banter between the two main characters.

Anyways they had it on hulu.com so I thought I would share. Check it out if you get a chance.

One last post before I sleep.

I have trouble sleeping the past couple of days. I don't know why. very little has changed of late so I don't know. When I do sleep I have dreams I am sure but I am having an unusually hard time remembering them. If I seem a bit off in talking to me or not all there please forgive me.

Oh well maybe tonight will be better.
