Actor and comedian Don Adams, best known for his role as clumsy secret agent Maxwell Smart in the 1960s television comedy Get Smart, has died. Aged 82, he died of a lung infection.
With the recent deaths of two of an era's comedic icons,it seems that a door is closing on a golden age of sitcoms. Or do we always look back with rose-colored glasses and therefore our memories are always tainted/tinted?
It's a sad day indeed. RIP Maxwell.

ReplyDeleteHere's my tribute to Max.
ReplyDeleteHenry’s Phoned-In Elegy For Don Adams
KAOS is up to it again,
the Evil Empire, the blood-sucking vampire,
it just came over the wire.
Agent 99 had too much wine
in her mommy-long-legs,
all the way up her pegs,
swimming up to the eggs,
would you believe that?
But, just then Maxwell Smart
went splat as he jumped
from the building in spats
and his shoe-phone
went this way and that,
what did you call ‘em back then?
Smell phones, of course!
