First Gilligan, now Max

[ashboy 22]

Woke up this morning to some sad news. Don Adams has gone to the great Cone of Silence in the sky. Hard to be too morose, just keep remembering those great one-liners from Get Smart.

 

And his other series, The Partners. The first episode had a great sight gag involving a fake house front.

 

I remember going to see the movie. The whole theatre chorused "Missed it by that much" at the appropriate moment.

 

 

 

Edit in:

 

Its just been pointed out to me that he was 82 when he died.

 

Didn't make it to 86.

 

Missed it by that much.

 

(Always leave 'em laughing when you go.)

Thanks for the post. Barely heard about Gilligan, didn't even here about Max. All you hear in the news in the States these days is hurricane damage. Funny thing . . . they are producing a new version of Get Smart for American television. If it doesn't have Mel Brooks and Buck Henry writing the show, it won't be funny. Don Adams was a classic. We will miss him.

Yea I remember when I was a kid watching Get Smart he was indeed a funny man

We never thought it would happen...we are getting older.

Look on the bright side...

just because we grow older doesn't mean we have to grow up!
