Subject: Don Adams of 'Get Smart' Dies at 82
Written By: JamieMcBain on 09/26/05 at 2:07 pm
The star of one of my favorite TV shows "Get Smart" died today of lung infection late last Sunday. He also did the voice of Inspector Gadget, yet another favorite show of mine.
This is a sad month for TV fans, first Bob Denver and now Don Adams.
Rest In Peace, Don, you will be sadly missed.... :\'(

I really liked Don Adams. He used to star in a Canadian sitcom called 'Check it Out' which back in the day was one of my all-time favourite shows as well as 'Inspector Gadget'
R.I.P. Don. You brought laughter in our homes and for that, we will never forget you :\'(

People with an out there personality on a high level are hard to come by and Don Adams had one. Oh loved Get Smart, loved his role in the show.

I used to love watching the "Get Smart" reruns when I was little. He'll be greatly missed. :\'(
On the show, I always loved this dialog:
Max: "Don't tell me ."
Person who he'd be talking to: "."
Max: "I asked you not to tell me that!"

Thursdays at the Playboy Mansion will never be the same. Don used to go over to the mansion with Robert Culp to play cards with Huigh Hefner; it was a standing date. 8)
Let us all commemorate a moment of slilence for Don "Agent 86" Adams.  Using the Cone of Silence device, naturally. ;)

This year we have lost 3 wonderful actors, who are also veterans of WWII. Eddie Arnold, James Doohan, and now Don Adams.
Most people do not realize that Don joined the Marines at the age of 16 (he lied about his age), and served with distinction in Guadacanal. He was the only member of his platoon to survive the battle, and almost died from 2 different tropical diseases.
I will miss his dry humor, and if nothing else, this may help force "Get Smart" to appear on DVD. I can't believe some of the coprolite that I see on the shelves, while a masterpiece like this is not available.

Go out to your local Walmart. A few weeks ago I bought "The Return Of Maxwell Smart" for $1.
As far as I know, that is the only Get Smart available on DVD.

How ironic that two shows I watched feverishly in the 70s (via syndication of course) have lost their main actors so closely together. We will miss both Don Adams and Bob Denver. :\'( :\'(
