Don Adams has died

maximus · 09-26-2005, 02:04 PM

Don Adams, star of 1960s spy spoof "Get Smart" and voice behind cartoon character "Inspector Gadget," died Monday, his agent said.

I don't have a link yet but CNN.com has a "Breaking News" banner at the top stating so. At least as of now they do.

Rest in peace.

That sucks.

RIP, Maxwell Smart. Thanks for the laughs.

Get Smart was great. Unfortunately, his death will probably make unoriginal Hollywood dig up Get Smart from the ashes and into a 2006 remake hell like all the rest of the classic shows. Nobody's gonna do "missed it by that much" like Don though.

Must've tag-teamed him with Dr. Claw.

I loved that show when I was a kid. "Would you believe" that I had a crush on agent 99? I still laugh when I think of how Smart would tell Hymie (sp?) the android agent, to kill the lights and Hymie would take out his pistol and shoot the light bulb! What a classic show that was.

Does anyone remember the movie they made "The Nude Bomb" made in 1980.

Get Smart was one of my all tiem favorite sitcoms as a child. I will always have fond memories of the show and Mr. Adams. Oh yeah and Agent 99 (Barbara Feldon).

RIP

He had some classic bits like the "Missed by that much" and "Would you believe...".

I like Fark's headline: "A 30 second 'Cone of Silence' for Don Adams, 86'd at 82"

That's horrible, but at first I thought it was Douglas Adams.

Who's been dead for longer than that, remember.
