Buck was funny but I never warmed up to the guy. His character in “Catch 22” kept running in my head when I saw him...

Get Smart is a strong memory my pre-teen years; it made Saturday nights special.

Buck kept the censors busy on “Get Smart”. There are a lot of allusions in the scripts that you know were raunchier the first time through. No doubt Agent 99 was originally Agent 69.

Just damn.

I guess I am getting to the age where people respected are dying. Rock stars, GOOD comedians, great actors (although for the latter we lost many when we were so much younger — the new crop have few greats).

In our parents’ days they did not have the Internet to mourn.

Funny guy. Very understated. Kinda like a Bob Newhart type person.

The main creator of Get Smart as co-creator Mel Brooks left the show early.
