TV Interview on WOWmxTV

I have a hunch this will be the only live TV interview I am doing this year. And it's quite okay by me!

On September 18 in 1965, TV comedy GET SMART created by Mel Brooks and Buck Henry, and starring Don Adams as agent Maxwell Smart (Agent 86), Barbara Feldon as Agent 99, and Edward Platt as The Chief premiered.Get Smart immediately won over audiences with its witty satire of the secret agent genre. Starring Don Adams as bumbling spy Maxwell Smart, aka Agent 86, and Barbara Feldon as his brilliant partner Agent 99, Get Smart followed their laugh-out-loud misadventures as they battled the evil forces of KAOS. Created by comedy legends Mel Brooks and Buck Henry, Get Smart was an instant hit thanks to its slapstick humor, clever spy parodies, catchphrases like “Missed it by that much!”, and gadgets like the famous shoe phone. For 5 seasons, Get Smart kept viewers in hysterics every week with Agent 86’s hilarious attempts at espionage, close calls with danger, and comical interactions with The Chief (Edward Platt). Now over 50 years later, Get Smart remains one of the most beloved and iconic sitcoms of all time. Its legacy lives on through syndicated reruns and an enduring comedic influence still felt today.

In 1966, GET SMART was published as a comic book by Dell Publishing Co.

These are the covers plus an ad for Aurora Model Motoring cars

The Late, Late, Late, Late Show!

Has this ever happened to you? You are laying in bed, ready to watch a movie when suddenly, without you knowing why, the end credits appear rolling before your eyes...and you didn't see anything before that.

Was the movie too short? Was this some sort of avant garde, experimental auteur kind of thing? Or was this the first time in the history of films that some studio just released the title and end credits without any footage in between?

No, stupid. You just dozed off as the film began!

A Pretty Girl Is Like A Melody!

A SALUTE TO THE SEXY GIRLS OF ENTERTAINMENT!

Someone said : "If we all had the same taste in women, we'd all be married to the same girl!"

Whether that's true or even possible, it is a fact that we all have different tastes in almost everything, including women.

And as years roll along, I find myself reminiscing about all those beautiful girls of films and television that captured my imagination and became the subject of many a daydream, not only during my youth but well into my autumn years.

So here's a toast to some of those magnificent women and the wonderful dreams they provided me over the years...

(There were a lot more but I won't go into that right now.)
