To Shout! Factory:
I would like to suggest a Complete Series box set of I Spy (1965-1968), (licensed from Peter Rodgers Organization and Three F Productions), with special features.
The episodes should be digitally restored and remastered from the original film elements (including the opening credits).
Also, all 82 episodes, especially the episode "One Thousand Fine" (the last episode of Season 1) should be unedited, and the "Tatia" Easter Egg, with archival commentaries from Robert Culp, should be included.
Here is my list of special features:
Robert Culp's Archival Audio Commentaries (7 episodes)
New Audio Commentaries by Bill Cosby
Hickey and Boggs (1972) (111 Minutes, MGM HD, with Audio Commentary by Bill Cosby and Text Commentary)

A PSA with Culp and Cosby from 1968 should be included, and in the PSA, they asked the audience not to descend into violence as a reaction to Martin Luther King's death.
Robert Culp's February 1994 appearance on Tom Snyder should also be included.
English subtitles should be included on the episodes and special features.
A collector's book should come with the set.
Marc Cushman, who co-wrote the I Spy book, recently wrote this to me: "I would be pleased to be interviewed for this project and share insight on the series and all episodes. I also have a large photo collection provided to me from Robert Culp, William Morris, and Peter Rodgers. Also, many audio interviews with Robert Culp, Bill Cosby, many of the writers and directors, guest performers, stuntmen, relatives of Sheldon Leonard, plus relatives of producers Fine and Friedkin, among others. These taped interviews could be added in as additional commentary to episodes where it would apply."
