You know, I am absolutely stunned to learn that he did “Get Smart”. For whatever reason, I never saw an episode until it was in re-runs. We all looked at each other, smacked our foreheads and wondered why we never watched it. My loss.

Missed it by that much..............................

Mad magazine and maxwell smart are entirely to blame for the person I have become.

Don’t tell me you think the Woody Allen movies are funny.

Mad Magazine — one of my favorites. I looked forward to every edition. Wish I hadn’t missed Get Smart.
To: Responsibility2nd
See, that’s what I mean. I have never been able to “get” Woody Allen. I want to, I mean I really, really want to, but he doesn’t make me laugh. I always feel like I’m laughing at some pathetically challenged individual who should be protected from hurting themselves. I’ll take the hit for it. I guess I’m too low brow.

My 2 brothers, both older, had their bedrooms on the 3rd floor. There was a big storage area/closet between their rooms, big enough for me to park myself in there for hours on end, reading and thoroughly learning all the lessons contained between the covers of Mad magazine.

I like Bananas and Sleeper but that does it for me on Woody Allen.

The N word is used 17 times. Yet, 36 years after the films debut the N word is bleeped whenever its broadcast on television.
I remember I saw the movie on a local independent TV station in St. Louis in the late '80s. The "N" word was not bleeped out but the fart sounds were absent when the guys were sitting around the camp fire eating beans. It just had the guys looking at each other with no sounds. They ruined my favorite scene!
To: Responsibility2nd
Well you have to admit that Allen’s movies were a nuanced lampooning of the Post-Modern angst and the Zeitgeitst that overwhems the oppressed inidviduals caught in a trap of existential absurdity......
I mean c’mon....Allen is tres amusant......
To: wally_bert; Constitutions Grandchild
Agreed. Sleeper especially... very funny, and Bananas. I don’t “get” most of the other Woody Allen stuff. Or... yeah, I get it, but it’s just not all that funny.

Thank you, Senator “Live Shot” Kerry.
I put your comment into one of those online translators, and it came back as “authentic Liberal gibberish”
