Opening

Get Smart has one of the best opening sequences in TV. How can you not giggle at the security measures to get to a phone booth. Unfortunately, in today's climate, this just might be the case.

I also love the ineptitude of CONTROL's best agent. almost reminds me of our current administration. We were this close to WMD's. Would you believe a couple of grenades. Would you believe a couple of wet firecrackers. The cone of silence is a great metaphor for our presidents conversations with reality.

Don Adams, not only was a great TV actor, I happened to see his show. He was funny, and I would compare him to Buddy Hackett, as someone who can be quite blue with material. He will be missed.
