Old TV classics

Conservative Musings (Free subscription) | 11/08/2008

I recently received from Amazon the recently released 1st season of the 1960's version of Get Smart (not to be confused with the short lived 1995 series with the same actors). Watching the pilot and 2nd episode so reminded me...

Get Smart

9-9 (Free subscription) | 10/08/2008

Don Adams , the original Maxwell Smart, was born Donald Yarmy. The airline that took Max and 99 to Russia was called Yarmy International as a tribute to him. Agent 99 : Are you staring at my butt? Maxwell Smart : No, no, I...I was, but I'm not...I'm staring again. There are references to the three cars that were shown in the original television series. The most obvious is the Sunbeam Tiger shown in...

When I first heard that Steve Carell would be playing Maxwell Smart, I was thrilled. I couldn't think of anyone better suited to fill Don Adams' telephonic shoes.I used to watch the show when I was a kid, and although the only specific scene I still remember was one involving a tarantula and a jar of mayonnaise, this new version brought it all back.Carell is the perfect Maxwell Smart. He strikes precisely...

Missed it by this much

Haven't seen the new Get Smart movie yet, but I'm a big fan of the Don Adams classic, so excuse the reference for Endy Chavez's almost-catch of Troy Glaus' game-winning home run last night. How close was it? Chavez thought...

Don't Tell Me You Haven't Seen Get Smart!

The Power Of The Schwartz (Free subscription) | 02/07/2008

I asked you not to tell me that! ;-) It's a fun and funny film. The script was set in the present, with a post Cold War CONTROL that had been around, but had not had a Maxwell Smart or Agent 99 back in the 1960s. This freed Steve Carrell and Anne ...

Short Movie Reviews

Dean's World (Free subscription) | 30/06/2008

The Elder Prince and I caught some matinees together in the last couple of weeks. Here are some short reviews of what we saw: Kung Fu Panda: A thoroughly enjoyable family romp. Plot was utterly predictable, but well crafted and highly amusing. Definitely a good one to take the kids to, and parents will enjoy it [...]

I thought the title would be ironic

It was too hot out to mow the lawn on Sunday, and we had free passes, so we went to see a matinee of Get Smart. While the specific alternative was dehydration and heat stroke, there are many other worse ways to spend an afternoon that stop well short of possible hospitalization. I [...]

'Get Smart'

Paramus Post (Free subscription) | 27/06/2008

'GET SMART' 'Get Smart" is a taut, laugh-filled homage to a beloved TV show of the '60s that may not have translated to contemporary times but for the splendid chemistry of its stars, Steve Carell and Anne Hathaway. Purists who adored the old series featuring manic Don Adams as field agent Maxwell Smart and Barbara Feldon as his partner, Agent 99, of the spy agency CONTROL, may take shots at this...

In September of 1965, a new comedy series called Get Smart aired on television. Satirizing the spy movie genre then the rage -- Secret Agent, The Man From U.N.C.L.E., The Girl From U.N.C.L.E., etc. -- Get Smart was the brainchild of Mel Brooks and Buck Henry, and starred Don Adams as a secret agent named Maxwell Smart. As a running gag, whenever it was necessary for Smart to contact headquarters, he...
