I may not be a great musician, but does Leonard Bernstein have a license to kill?

Mission accomplished...

Would you believe......................................

I used to watch "Get Smart" when I was growing up.

Remember in the begining of each show, Maxwell Smart going through all of those high security doors?

I have never seen Get Smart. I do seem to recall seeing "The Nude Bomb" on TV when I was considerably younger, however.

I think it led to head quarters; just before he passed through all of those other doors.

He was 82

Everything seems better in its day ("Bewitched" was considered a technological marvel, not to be missed on Sunday nights), and it's the same with "Get Smart." Still a funny show, it was absolutely ground-breaking in its approach to comedy when it debuted ('65, I think?). Everybody, kids and adults alike, were walking around repeating all those phrases from the show. Don Adams was a funny guy, I loved the show ( Agent 99 and that VOICE of hers, yikes...), and he will be missed. I don't think anyone under the age of 40 will understand just how much we "old farts" will miss Don and his one-of-a-kind humor.

I remember watching "GET SMART" with my family. It was one of those shows we actually all sat down and watched together. Don Adams made "spying" look funny and Agent "99" made it look intriging(sp?). Anyway, he will be missed.
I loved his humor and how he always made our family laugh.
