LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- Don Adams, the wry-voiced comedian who starred as the fumbling secret agent Maxwell Smart in the 1960s television spoof of James Bond movies, "Get Smart," has died. He was 82.

Adams died of a lung infection late Sunday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, his friend and former agent Bruce Tufeld said Monday, adding the actor broke his hip a year ago and had been in ill health since.

I loved Get Smart. Watched as a kid and thought all those gadgets were pretty cool! I also wanted to be just like "99." LOL. He also did the voice of Tennesse Tuxedo and Inspector Gadget. Talented man.

20. Rest in Peace Don

That was one of the best shows. Comedies nowdays don't come close.
C.H.A.O.S. wins! Another disaster for the disaster president. Maybe it is just me, but so many talented actors/singers have died during this reign. :cry:

[Iktomiwicasa]

21. Like this

is really important :wtf: just like the "Bush is drunk" threads, or the "Cheney knee surgery" threads. To see something important check out the Leonard Peltier thread.

[DemonFighterLives]

25. Are you the board policeman?

:wtf:

[Iktomiwicasa]

26. Nope

But if you want to change things for oppressed people, get serious.

[mcscajun]

23. Would you believe?

KAOS Agent: Look, I'm a sportsman. I'll let you choose the way you want to die.
Maxwell Smart: All right, how about old age?

[calico1]

24. Didn't Mel Brooks either write or

produce that show? Some funny stuff. There just isn't that kind of imagination or creativity in shows anymore.

[Rosco T.]

27. Mel Brooks and Buck Henry ... n/m

[meegbear]

28. Now he can forever his his nemisis ... the Craw!

[louis-t]

34. Not Craw...CRAW!

[meegbear]

37. I always get a laugh out of that line!

RIP - 86 and Tennessee Tuxedo!

Chief: Max, I don't know what I'm going to do about you. You bungle assignment after assignment.
Maxwell Smart: I resent that, Chief.
Chief: Do you deny it?
Maxwell Smart: No, but I resent it.

Senator: Mr. Smart, how many arrests did Control make last year?
Maxwell Smart: I don't know.
Senator: Who's the number one man in your organization?
Maxwell Smart: I don't know.
Senator: How many cases were assigned to Control last year?
Maxwell Smart: I don't know.
Senator: What would you do if you were fired, Mr. Smart?
Maxwell Smart: They can't fire me. I know too much.

**************************

Agent 99: Oh, Max, how terrible.
Maxwell Smart: He desereved it, 99. He was a Kaos killer.
Agent 99: Sometimes I wonder if we're any better, Max.
Maxwell Smart: What are you talking about, 99? We have to shoot and kill and destroy. We represent everything that's wholesome and good in the world.
