My Get Smart boxed set arrived today.
I like the box.
The end-flap has a Velcro button at the top that keeps it closed. It opens downward. Next is a telephone booth. Two doors open outwards in the usual way. Then there’s an iron door. Half opens upward, and half opens downward. Only then does one get to the five boxes of DVDs.
Inquiring minds want to know. What was the first-nicest boxed set?
No! You fell into his trap!
Get Smart is a great show, BTW.
I asked you not to tell me that!
Would you believe the 1995 remake of Get Smart?
I find that hard to believe.
Missed it by that much.
Missed it by that much.
Don’t tell me you missed the set-up!
I didn’t even know they had released this. I guess it’s a ploy to get people excited about the movie?
I totally have to add this to my x-mas list. I remember staying up late in elementary school to watch this on Nick at Night and loving it, even at that wee age.
But I think to discuss matters further, we should use the cone of silence…
It’s available from Time-Life.
It’s a little strange watching the series. Don Adams is dead. Edward Platt is dead. Robert Karvelas (Larabee) is dead. King Moody (Shtarker) is dead. Oh-so-hot Agent 99 Barbara Feldon is almost 75 years old.
Man, I love that Sunbeam Tiger. I heard that Don Adams still owned it as late as the 1990s. I wonder where it is now?
Oh, so did I!
I’m old enough to have watched this show weekly during it’s original run. It was on from 1965-70, which meant I was 14 when it made it’s debut. 14 and car crazy!
I always thought it was very weird that Max went from a Sunbeam Tiger, to an Opel GT, to a Kharman Ghia over the course of the show. Each car progressively less cool!
Second time he fell for it this month.
I missed the set-up.
I asked you not to tell me that
I don’t recall the Opel, but the show started being sponsored by VW and they demanded that MS drive their product.
Here is a screen cap of the title card showing the Opel.
But I misremembered the order - according to the Wikipedia entry he went to the Kharmann-Ghia in '68, and the Opel GT in '69.
Both cars together weren’t as cool as the Sunbeam Tiger!
Zis is KAOS! Ve don’t “voosh” here!
Please, Dr. Rieux. I’ll handle this.
ahem Zis is KAOS! Ve don’t ‘voosh’ here!
