Good morning!\n\nI Spy was an American television secret agent adventure series. It ran on NBC from 1965 to 1968 and teamed Robert Culp as international tennis player Kelly Robinson, and Bill Cosby as his trainer Alexander Scott. In reality, they were both top agents for the Pentagon and, while ostensibly traveling as a tennis "bum" (a talented amateur who plays tennis with rich people in return for food and lodging), they were usually busy chasing villains, spies, and beautiful women. The show was produced by Desilu Productions.\n\nI Spy broke new ground in that it was the first American television show to feature an African-American actor (Cosby) in a lead role. It was also notable that Cosby's race was never an issue in any of the stories. Nor was his character in any way subservient to Culp's, with the exception that Culp's character was a more experienced agent. Another way in which I Spy was a trailblazer was in its use of exotic international locations in an attempt to emulate the James Bond film series, but this was unique for a television show, especially since the series actually filmed its lead actors at locations ranging from Japan to Italy, rather than relying on photography and stock footage. \n\nWilliam Henry "Bill" Cosby, Jr., Ed.D. (born July 12, 1937) is an American actor, comedian, television producer, and activist. He received an Ed.D. from the University of Massachusetts for his doctoral thesis on "Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids", an educational children's cartoon series he created.\n\nRobert Martin Culp (born August 16, 1930 in Oakland, California), and a 1947 graduate of Berkeley High School, is an American actor, best known for his work on television.\n\nCulp also had a guest appearance on The Cosby Show, 9 April 1987 (Season 3, Episode 23)\n\nA movie remake I Spy followed in 2002 with Eddie Murphy and Owen Wilson. As with most remakes, it diverged from its source material, including for some reason switching the character names around so that Alexander Scott (Wilson) was now the experienced agent and Kelly Robinson (Murphy) the amateur, possibly in reference to Murphy's popular Mr. Robinson character on Saturday Night Live. The film was a commercial and critical flop.

Not sure about the Hartnell question, but I'm pretty sure the "Bond" doctor was Jon Pertwee. His character did a lot of stuff with gadgets (improvising a lot of devices), techie vehicles (Bessie, the Alien) and his use of Venusian aikido when fighting bad guys.

My father, who's a dead ringer for Sean Connery, took me to see my first Bond movie in 1964 - the premiere of Goldfinger.  Sean will always be Bond first in my heart.\nRoger Moore was great as The Saint, but I thought he was too slick and shiny as Bond.\nGeorge "One Shot" Lazenby was good enough - there were some excellent action sequences in that flick.\nI liked Timothy Dalton except for his Burt Lancaster-esque laugh.\nAnd I certainly liked Brosnan - he was cool under fire.\nI haven't seen Daniel Craig yet but I'm looking forward to it.\nHow 'bout you?

I enjoyed almost all of them myself and still do. Like movies today, most were more fiction then real but movies back then to me were more realistic.  Actors like John Wayne, Clark Gable, Glenn Ford, Ernie Borgnine, Pat O'Brien, Robert Mitchum, Robert Ryan, just to name a few made movies worth going to and kept you in suspense, laughter and what ever. They were all great and still are today.

Nathan Hale, right before they hung him as a spy.\n\nI believe he said, "I regret that I have but one life to lose for my country."

On Her Majesty's Secret Service.\n\nOn Her Majesty's Secret Service is the eleventh novel in Ian Fleming's James Bond series. First published by Jonathan Cape on April 1, 1963, it is the first novel to be written after the start of the official film series by EON Productions.\n\nOn Her Majesty's Secret Service is considered the second book in what is known as the "Blofeld trilogy", which resumes from Thunderball after the interlude novel The Spy Who Loved Me, and concludes with You Only Live Twice.\n\nIn 1969 it was adapted as the sixth film in the EON Productions James Bond series and was the first and only film to star George Lazenby as British Secret Service agent Commander James Bond.\n\nWhilst on leave, British agent James Bond prevents a young woman, Tracy Draco, from committing suicide. Her father is the head of a powerful crime syndicate who is impressed by Bond and wants him to protect his daughter by marrying her. In exchange he offers Bond information which will lead 007 to his arch enemy Ernst Blofeld. At first Bond agrees to the deal purely to fulfil his objective to kill Blofeld but later he grows to love Tracy but when the British learn that Blofeld plans to destroy mankind with a deadly virus, 007 is torn between his loyalty to his county and his intent to marry Tracy.\n\nGeorge Robert Lazenby (born September 5, 1939 in Queanbeyan, New South Wales, Australia) is an Australian actor best known for portraying James Bond in the 1969 James Bond film, On Her Majesty's Secret Service.\n\nAlthough he had previously worked in TV advertising and an Italian B-movie spy movie, Lazenby's first serious acting role was as James Bond in the film On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969). Lazenby is the second official actor to portray the British secret agent, following Sean Connery, who had become a cultural icon in the role. Lazenby had a difficult task in filling these shoes, and nearly everything about his portrayal of Bond has been controversial. The film's producers, perhaps mistrusting Lazenby's ability to carry the picture, took the unusual step of overdubbing Lazenby's voice with that of George Baker in major scenes in which Bond impersonated Baker's character. \n\nCritical response to On Her Majesty's Secret Service remains sharply divided as well, affecting estimates of Lazenby's potential as James Bond. It follows the plot of the novel more closely than did the other film adaptations of the eponymous source novels, including serious dramatic subject matter pivotal to the development of Bond's character: Bond's contemplated resignation from MI6; his comically botched impersonation of a sexually ascetic genealogist at a mountaintop allergies clinic for beautiful young women; and his brief, tragic marriage to Tracy Draco, the daughter of a Corsican crime syndicate leader.\n\nJames Bond George Lazenby \nDirected by Peter R. Hunt \nWritten by Ian Fleming \nScreenplay Richard Maibaum \nMusic by John Barry \nMain theme   \nComposer John Barry \nPerformer John Barry Orchestra \nDistributed by United Artists \nReleased December 18, 1969 \nRunning time 140 min. \nBudget $7,000,000 \nWorldwide gross $87,400,000 \nAdmissions (world) 62.4 million \nPreceded by You Only Live Twice \nFollowed by Diamonds Are Forever

Sean Connery, but he's still cool. Also, every woman that I have ever met still thinks he's sexy, lol. Burt Reynolds and James Garner are also some old actors. But Burt is still the man.
