R.I.P. Don Adams

[Sefton]

Actor Don Adams who played agent 86 of CONTROL has passed away at age 82. Funny man and funny show. Here's a toast to you Agent 86.

So sad to hear about it. I just read about it in the news; Get Smart! was such a great show, I have not missed any re-run of the programme since the local classical channel passed it again. I'll always remember him, I guess.

I really enjoyed that show when I was a kid.

I is a pity since the movie is coming out soon, I think.

I still refer to 'The Cone of Silence' when wanting to converse privately.

"Sorry about that,Chief!"

Don Adams was a great actor. One of his lesser known roles was his short lived "Don Adams Screen Test" TV show, 1975, where they would have people re-enact famous scenes in classic movies with all the make-up, costumes and props. Like kinda a Fedora Lounge dream show- except that it was 30 years ago!

 

[BellyTank]

Yes- Bob and all- we should observe 2 minutes Cone of Silence...
...what? ...2 min...!

Never mind.

Very sad. :cry:
GS is one of my all time favorite TV shows. I had a huge GS collection when I was in my early 20's. Clippings, photos, books, etc. I still have it in storage. Barbara Feldon can still be heard in voice over's on commercials. There is one running right now for a prescription medication that is her. She is a great lady and wrote me several letters.

Did he also do the voice of Inspector Gadget?

 

[Rumpled Fedora]

:cry: Farewell Don.
I love Get Smart. Hopefully they'll release the seasons on DVD soon. I've heard rumors of DVD's as early as January 2006. I don't know if it's true though.
I just heard about the movie. I hope to death that it won't tarnish the show's name. I can't imagine anyone but Don Adams playing Maxwell Smart. Fingers crossed...

Did he also do the voice of Inspector Gadget?

Yes he did.

Yeah, I missed this thread, its sad, its been so many years I remember as a kid, his voice in the cartoon "Tennessee Tuxedo and his tales", That penguin with the fedora, and walrus buddy, Chumley!!! Really gonna miss you Don :cry:

 

[Quigley Brown]

I think he was on Hollywood Squares, too....just barely remember.

Your right on, I think he was, Tennessee Tuxedo should be life time member of "Fedora" :cheers1: Note: Don Adams and Barbara Feldon were one of the first TV couples to post for Playboy, Barbara is still great look'm
