#OnThisDay in 1965, #MelBrooks and Buck Henry's spy spoof sitcom "Get Smart" starring #DonAdams, Barbara Feldon, and Edward Platt, debuts on NBC-TV.
"He was wonderful to work with.” — Barbara Feldon
Actor, comedian, voice artist, and 3-time Emmy winner Don Adams (1923-2005) was born on this day.
It might give away my age to say this: I can't help but hear #DonAdams as #MaxwellSmart saying, "Missed it by THAT much..."
(This week, due to no reason besides my lack of a brain, #HootinTootinTuesday will be on a Wednesday, and its theme will be "oops.")
#WouldYouBelieve… I Was Today Year’s Old when I learned that comic actor #DonAdams (#GetSmart 1965–‘70, ‘95) was ALSO #InspectorGadget (1983-‘99).
I watched both shows as a kid and thought the resemblance was a coincidence.
Oh, and before all that, from 1963-‘66, Adams was Tennessee Tuxedo!
Wowsers!

Tonight in 1970 — The last original episode of GET SMART! aired on CBS.
Why this show isn't on a free streamer or SVOD is beyond me.
