Default RIP Don Adams

Well, Don Adams was a staple of my childhood with the Get Smart TV show. A comedian that will be missed.

I guess the "Cone Of Silence" will be permanently down. RIP

I think with this crowd it might get more responses if you said he was Inspector Gadget.

I agree, my kids (8 and 10) do not know of Get Smart, only gadget.

Unfortunately, not enough people on our site remember the days Get Smart, possibly one of the funniest shows of the late 1960's.

That one I understand. I'm sitting here thinking to myself, "what the hell is Get Smart?" Way over my head. I get Inspector Gadget.

Damn old people...

Get Smart was one of the best comedies of all time, and although Don didn't want to be a comedy actor, he was certainly good at it..
He will be missed..

thank you Don
