If you love dorky movies, this is the Height of Dork. James Bond meets Mad Mad Mad Mad World meets Abbott and Costello, all in French. It's a parody of itself, including the sped up chase scenes, idiotic plot, and the "jazzy" exaggerated score featuring way too much marimba. The actors do seem to be having fun, it seems.

Not for the weak, but truly for serious dork appreciating professionals only.

I saw this series on PBS in 1980 in college and I still can't get it out of my head, although I have never seen it since. I remember every cast member (the casting WAS perfect, as mentioned in other comments), the design, the lighting and, of course, the story, which is by itself is enough to keep you glued to the set. Probably the best TV series I ever saw next to the original "Roots."
