A bit of sad news today: Robert Culp died this morning after falling and hitting his head, while he was out walking near his home in the Hollywood hills. He was 79. He was always one of my favorites – even before he starred with Bill Cosby in "I Spy" on TV in the '60s. Of course, he'd been around for years before that, and I especially liked him in the "Demon With a Glass Hand" episode of "Outer Limits." But "I Spy" was great, too. I always loved the off-hand humor tossed around between the Cosby-Culp characters, and the exotic locales. And I especially loved the way they dressed – all those tennis shirts and white sneakers gave it a very spiffy, mid-1960s American look that was extremely appealing and cool. Beach Boy chic. And Culp was, of course, very good-looking no matter what he was wearing – that was certainly another attraction. If I wasn't so determined to fight nostalgia whenever it rears its ugly head, I might say it's just about time to see if "I Spy" is available on DVD.
