The world is just not as funny anymore. First Bob Denver of
Gilligan's Island dies and then Don Adams of
Get Smart.
Get Smart was one of my favorite shows growing up, it was a spoof on James Bond with Adams as the fumbling Maxwell Smart. Just as bumbling as Gilligan and Gomer Pyle, Smart had crazy devices like a shoe phone, an umbrella gun and a whole lot more. With his straight man "The Chief" and beautiful spy co-hort, known only as "99" the laughs were non-stop. So September has not been a good month for classic TV. It is good to know that Gilligan and Smart will live forever on TV and in our hearts.
