Missed by THAT MUCH: The original agent in "Get Smart"

[brucedavis76]

man poston almost breaks down

[faffaflunkie]

I'm glad network T.V. has such respect for criminals.

[faffaflunkie]

"Mr. Big" a midget. Hahahahahahahahaha.

[USSLexington1709]

Fascinating.

[ipmoic]

Cannot agree--although I'm surely in the minority. As a boy I DID find Don Adams grating and not my style at all. Barbara Feldon was what kept this young guy watching!!

I would have loved Tom Poston in the role.

I usually find these remakes a waste of film, but I have to say that this Get Smart film was at least asgood as, and I think better than the original. Extremely well cast.

Terrific .. Working for T/A . Leonard Stern was most wonderful time in my life . seeing Tom Poston talking about WHY he did not get the role . . .knew that ABC had turned it down thought Tom had too .. Don & I worked together for 5 years on/off after GET SMART .. I cannot picture anyone else doing the role .. Yes, he was very good friends with Bob Newhart & Don Rickels . Jimmy Caan and many more .. Was a lot of fun working on GS & for Don .. . remained good friends til the day he died. ,,

It would have been interesting to see Tom Poston is the role of Max. I can't see him punching, shooting, or killing somebody. Don Adams was the best choice.

[brcbrtn]

Would you believe-Don Adams and Bob Newhart were great friends?

[ThePhalseProfit]

I STILL quote Max lines..sadly, fewer and fewer people get the reference.

(I must be getting old)

In fact, I bet I'm the 2nd oldest PhalseProfit you've ever seen.

dude im only 18 and i loved this show when my dad introduced it to me. trust me whenever i do these lines with my freinds they say what the fuck is that from? im like Get Smart :P

[alexyomero76]

yeah! but i bet they laugh at the lines!

[dabble778]

Funny is funnier, no matter if it was written 500 years ago by Shakespeare or last week. Get Smart TV show writers were geniuses.

[bishopaz]

I know the feeling friend.whenever I try my get smart lines on some of my younger friends. I get that puzzled look. and they tell me that i`m crazy. I reply ``and loving it``

[gqjohnny]

Funny how fate somehow can work out so well. Both men had distinctive styles that entertained us. Tom had a great career playing many memorable characters, and Don was the perfect Maxwell Smart. A win, win story for us all.

[gaIIery]

Adams was a perfect choice to play Maxwell Smart. A shame for Posten, but he did a great job on "Newhart" which actually lasted even longer than "Get Smart".

[tomflinn123]

No, it is "Hi I'm Larry. This here's my brother Daryll and this here's my other brother Daryll".Thank You.

[DigitalGrotto]

Hi. I'm Larry. This is my brother Daryll and my other brother Daryll. Boohahahahaha!!!!

[OrmEmber]

My god, Studio Executives were just as stupid then as they are now! I guess that's the timeless prerequisite.......

[pompom11]

Tom got a lot of work, for like 40 years he was always great to watch on TV, dry comedy but entertaining! hey RIP to you Tom.

[BracerMisty45]

well.....that was boring

[crazyboi139]

Ditto

[videocrash]

interesting
