Rest in peace, Don Adams. The article said that he had been in ill health for a year now, after breaking his hip. I'm glad that his suffering is over and I know that he will live on in our memories.
The article also said that he was a drill sergeant at one time - can you imagine that! Just goes to show what a brilliant man he was! Heaven will be one comic richer tonight!

I loved that show! Wish they still played the re-runs where I live.

I find that as I get older, I cannot remember which celebrities are alive and which have passed. Anyone else have this problem? And then to think that some of them are in their 80's or older. It's mind blowing. I watch the re-runs and think they are frozen in time.

Ah yes!

Remember the shoe phone - which was so outlandish of a thought back then.

On a related note, looks like Mel Brooks and Buck Henry are making the Get Smart Movie.
Glad to see that at least the original TV show creators are the ones making it.

Love Don Adams. Loved Get Smart. I spent a good portion of my childhood listening to jokes about Maxwell Smart. That was my maiden surname. When I took my driver license test, the examiner took a look at my permit and asked if Maxwell was my dad. I told him, no, my uncle.

Yeah, used to be something I watched with my stepdad in the early afternoons when I didn't have school.
