Maxwell Smart was the only person who didn't realize what a fool and klutz he was. But what a classic sitcom setup--one oddball character completely blind to his nature and a group of other straight characters who must tolerate his eccentricity without getting overwhelmed with frustration. What about his catch phrase "Sorry about that" that he uttered every time he goofed up. Wasn't he the one who originated this phrase, which has entered the realm of common usage today?R. D.

Agent 86 is an example of how almost anything possible that could go wrong does, yet everything works out well in the end. I especially loved the Prisoner of Zenda spoof because it truly showcased Don Adams's talent. Siegfried was the perfect foil for Smart. I can still hear my father laughing when our family would watch "Get Smart" together. Great post, Rick!toto2https://www.blogger.com/profile/09652682900471649463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-17979850725362932912012-05-30T09:46:45.336-04:002012-05-30T09:46:45.336-04:00This file about Maxwell Smart is awesome!
