Tennessee Tuxedo will not fail.

Maybe Cartoon Network should run a Lupin III marathon in his honor.
What, am I the only who noticed the resemblance?

[WasDougsLamb]

Sad news. Grew up watching the show. :(

[Borges]

It's not mentioned in the AP Obit. He would have been in his late teens and early 20s .Did they have DIs that young?

There's a cheap DVD out of the Get Smart Again movie. Five bucks, and more than worth it. I found it in a store and love it.

[Agent Smith]

God bless you Don.

Thanks for your wonderful humor and service to our country.

"Don Adams as a DI."

Don Knotts, too...believe it or "knott."

[Borges]

Agent Smith, appropriately you were #86.

[Borges]

make that 'service'.

[Agent Smith]

I suspect that he became a DI, after surviving Guadalcanal.

[mrtoby]

How come it seems like nobody I hate ever dies?

The chemistry between Adams and Barbara Feldon was perfect. He was a total klutz and she was the sultriest, sweetest babe imagineable. That goes for the whole cast, actually. From the long-suffering Chief, to the dim-wit Larrabee to Agent 13 (the guy who was always hiding in a mail-box or inside a cupboard) to the over-acted, villainous Siegfried.

Get Smart was the best.

I wish they'd bring this thing out on DVD. I could watch it until the cows come home.

[Travis McGee]

Not to mention the terrific theme music, and opening sequence with all the high security doors. I even loved that part, every time.

There are some Get Smart items at the Spy Museum in DC.

"We've got to stop meeting like this. KAOS is getting suspicious."

[Salo]

Don Knotts was not a DI - or even a Marine.

[Xenalyte]

Would you believe . . . sad ping.

[zeugma]

Do you remember what KAOS stands for?

Wait for it...

Killing
And
Other
Stuff

Knotts served in WW2 as an entertainer and recieved the Victory Medal.
