poor old don adams passed away today.
Gilligan and Max so close together!
If there's a sitcom heaven.......
Hours and hours of enjoyment.

Lung Infection bollocks, he had Bone Marrow Lymphoma. Plus his daughter Cecily died a year ago from cancer.

He was the only survivor of his platoon at Guadalcanal. Bet he had some stories.

He wrote poetry, liked kids, and had good friends. Not a bad bloke at all.

[What?]

And gave us some great phrases and names. I think it is sad when a twenty-something-year-old asks me what the hell a "shoe phone" is...
Or they get really flustered if you tell them you 86'd something.

I remember watching the first Get Smart program...just a kid of course,we didn't know anything about it - and it was,like...???? WTF????,took us awhile to cotton on to it was a spoof,it was one of the first of that genre,the Yanks taking the Mickey out of themselves was a big step forward.

I've heard 99 doing voice overs on documentaries,she's got a very good voice - but you keep expecting her to say.....Ooooh,Max!

Thanks for the memories Don......oh,and the other Don...Don Knotts,what a couple of wacko's.

I used to enjoy watching get smart when I was a kid in the late 80's (obvious replay) and god did my 80 (odd) ' year old dad and I love it, he knew it from back in the day but just shows

All those phrases we would use as kids "Sorry about that Chief" Great series, but the film -Nude Bomb - sucked like a Hoover.

[Paul in NZ]

Yes, I too liked Get Smart.... Some of Mel Brooks better work bought to life by a great comic actor.

As Jim2 said. He seemed to be a pretty decent dude as well. Or at least didn't get cauught up in the stupididy that plagues the industry these days...

RID Don...

oh.. Sorry about that Don.. RIP
