"Get Smart" by Irving Szathmary

Get Smart Tidbits

Maxwell Smart, Agent 86 for CONTROL (Don Adams) was inept, bumbling and just not that bright. But he never let any of those shortcomings deter him from trying to thwart the evil doings of KAOS.

He was assisted in this by the smart Agent 99 (Barbara Feldon) who is always called Agent 99, her mother is Mrs. 99 and so forth.

The head of CONTROL was the Chief (Edward Platt) to whom Smart was always apologizing, "sorry about that, Chief!" Later the Admiral Admiral Harold Harmon Hargrade (William Schallert) would be the guiding force.

The bad boys at KAOS are led by Siegfried (Bernie Koppell) and his assistant Starker (King Moody).

Love blossomed and on November 16, 1968, Agent 99 and Maxwell Smart get married. During the 1969-1970 season, they become parents.

Dick Gautier carried the burden of playing Hymie the Robot, who had been captured from KAOS and reprogrammed. However, you had to be careful because Hymie took every instruction literally.

Barbara Feldon really is brainy! She won on the $64,000 Question. Her subject was Shakespeare.

Maxwell Smart used the password "Bismark" to enter his bobby-trapped apartment.

Fang was the dog/agent.

Passings

Edward Platt died in 1994 of a heart attack and King Moody in 2001. Don Adams died of a lung infection in 2005.

Hogan’s Heroes Theme Song

"Hogan's Heroes March" by Jerry Fielding

Hogan’s Heroes Tidbits

Hogan's Heroes was a comedy about a World War II Nazi POW camp. Played strictly for laughs, it presented a lighthearted view of a group of Allied prisoners who lived a high life right under the noses of their Nazi captors.

Colonel Robert Hogan (Bob Crane) was the ranking American officer at Stalag 13 which included French (LeBeau) and English (Newkirk) prisoners as well. The commandent, Colonel Klink (Werner Klemperer) was an incredibly inept administrator who got no help from his aide, the stumbling Sgt. Shultz (John Banner). Shultz lived in mortal fear of being transferred to the Russian front and spent a good deal of time disavowing knowledge of the inmates' capers. "I know nuting, nuting."

Newkirk (Richard Dawson) was an excellent mimic and forger, LeBeau (Robert Clary) was the chef, Sgt. Carter (Larry Hovis) was an explosives expert and Sgt. Kinchloe (Ivan Dixon) an electronics expert.

Now the prisoners at Stalag 13 had the place decked out for convenience and could have escaped at any time. But secretly they were working for the Allies, smuggling downed pilots and information out.

The real life stories of these actors are more grim. Both Banner and Klemperer had escaped the Nazis by coming to the U.S. Banner, an Austrian Jew, had his entire family wiped out by the Nazis. Robert Clary (LeBeau) had actually been interned in a Nazi concentration camp when he was child.

Bob Crane went on to "The Bob Crane Show," which was a short-lived attempt that lasted only 14 episodes. Bob Crane was murdered in 1978 (notorious mystery). (Beachy’s note: if you’ve never heard about Bob Crane’s life…..read up! He was a bad boy!).

Passings

John Banner died in 1973 of an abdominal hemorrhage, Bob Crane was murdered in 1978 and Werner Klemperer died in 2000 of a heart attack. Larry Hovis died in 2003 of cancer. Leon Askin in 2005 of natural causes.

That's the end of the ride for today. Please watch your step on exiting the time machine. Now that I've shown you a few, how about you share something from your memory. Or, if one of these were your favorite show then, share a memory of the best episode for you.

Correction: John Jacob Jingle-Heimer Schmidt. Much more German heritage than you're giving him here.
