RIP Agent Smart
Man, first Gilligan himself, Bob Denver died, now Maxwell Smart, Agent 86 passed away. Last night Don Adams, a smart funny, and nice guy, died of a lung infection at the age of 82. What a crappy month this has been for people who grew up addicted to television.
I remember Maxwell Smart's secret phone in his shoe, decades before anyone thought of cell phones. And "sorry about that, Chief" came out of everyone's mouth, along with "missed it by...THAT much." He was a very funny guy. I know he did other stuff, Inspector Gadget, and Tennessee Tuxedo, but I will always remember him best on "Get Smart." The sad thing is that a show like that wouldn't last a week today.
If we could all bow our heads and have a moment in the Cone of Silence.
