Get Smart!

Post by TomB »

Don Adams, Agent 86 of Get Smart fame, died yesterday. I believe he was 82 years old.

I used to watch that show growing up. I found Agent 99 to be, um, hot!

...heard about it on NPR this morning...it's really sad. The comedy world has lost a great one. I can remember watching the series on cable (wow, and that was when cable was the big thing!!) when I was a lad.
Does anyone remember the made-for-TV Get Smart movie?

Yep. Get Smart was silly fun. Unfortunately he went on to do this short-lived thing called Don Adams' Screen Test where audience volunteers would recreated scenes from classic movies. Embarrassing, but I was in middle school.

I remember Get Smart - I loved it when I was a kid. Well played, that man!

Always sad when they pop off, but 82's a fair crack.
And whether the blood be highland, lowland or no.
And whether the skin be black or white as the snow.
Of kith and of kin we are one, be it right, be it wrong.
As long as our hearts beat true to the lilt of a song.

The bad guys were KAOS and the good guys were KONTROL.
I always liked that, especially as we moved into the 80's with Caos theory and all that.

A memorable line from one of the shows-"Why, 99, you know we have to murder and kill and destroy in order to preserve everything that's good in the world."
