  • @vwm8534
    One of the best sitcoms of all time!
  • @Milnoc
    Don Adams agreed to be paid a reduced salary in exchange for syndication royalties. That decision paid off big time!

    One great segment in the FOX series is the had Max's son meet Zigfreid's daughter. The son griped he grew up thinking his father was a greeting card salesman (his cover). Zigfreid's daughter commented she thought her dad was a doctor on a cruise ship. Great reference to Bernie's later role on The Love Boat.

    Siegfried was the best! I met Bernie Kopell at an autograph show. He signed my picture “Herr Rob, Dis is KAOS. Ve don’t Shush here”

    Who wasn't in love with Barbara Feldon? So many young heated memories from when I was young and she was slaying it. Don Adams was genius especially in that role. Great show!
  • @johntabler349
    The chemistry between character really made the show work Max's bumbling heroics, 99 trying really hard to get Max to notice she was a girl, the Chief and his constant headaches add to that some very well choreographed action sequences and coherent storytelling and you have classic
  • @CharlesAustin

    That Sunbeam was a Sunbeam 'Tiger'. A production car that sported a small block V-8... 289c.i., I believe. A kick ass little car!!
  • @scottrankin5506
    These old shows still make me laugh. I can’t say the same thing for most of the ones they make today.
  • @bobprock4960
    Mel Brooks is a genius! And don't forget Buck Henry too!
  • @miltonfarmer1139
    This show will always be hilarious. Easily the funniest show of my childhood, maybe even all time. I have been laughing at this sitcom since I was a child in the early to mid 1980's.
  • @bonserbob
    Still one of my favorite shows of all time. I still use many of the lines on a daily basis.
  • @nicoleknight9412
    He also hosted ' The Don Adams Screen Test", which was one of the first reality shows. It was a hoot! By the way, the Chief had a name; it was Thaddeus.

    If I'm not mistaken, Don Adams was also the voice of Tennessee Tuxedo. For some reason I don't ever remember seeing Inspector Gadget on Saturday mornings but I do remember seeing Tennessee Tuxedo, along with Mr. Peabody, Bugs Bunny, Yogi Bear, Rocky and Bullwinkle and all the rest. As I outgrew cartoons I got hooked on the great comedy shows of the 1960s. Get Smart was always my favorite of the lot.

    You missed Don Adams was the voice of Tennessee Tuxedo. You missed it by that much.
