RIP, Don Adams

"Get Smart" actor dies

RIP, Don Adams.

You made me laugh with Get Smart. The good old, "Ohh, so it's the old .... trick, eh!" Or, "Would you believe..?" followed by something that sounds like every spy should have waiting around the corner for them but actually isn't there for him, which the enemies would never believe, followed by another, "Would you believe..?" that's slightly less intimidating and so on and so on until all it was was Maxwell Smart, rescued once more by his own stupidity and the smarts of 99.

And who'd forget the credit sequence of Get Smart, where you did the nose-caught-in-lift-door thing.

*teehee* Hilarious!

Thanks for also doing the voice for Inspector Gadget. That was another show I grew up on and totally adored. Once more the bumbling secret agent... But in the best, funniest kind of way.

Thanks for making me laugh, even though I never knew you other than on the TV.

He was great :) Definitely a master of comedy - there aren't really all that many of them left any more.

You're right, a lot of the good old actors are dying off, and it's quite sad.

I just hope that they never make a "Get Smart" movie or anything like that, because Hollywood always wrecks the old stuff *lol*

Yeah, we did.

Why can't the really annoying "celebrities" that no-one really likes die instead?!
