Would You Believe?….

The Cone of Silence has fallen and will rise no more. Don Adams, aka Maxwell Smart, has died of a lung infection at age 82. Yet another of our obnoxious childhood heroes has fallen and he will be missed. How we all tried to imitate his nasal voice and mimic his routines. When he finished his career as a secret agent, his voice lived on in Saturday morning cartoons. No, there was no killing Maxwell Smart aka Inspector Gadget. Not until now.

I don’t know if I can take it. First Gilligan and then Maxwell Smart within less than the space of a month. Now I know how my mother felt about Jackie Coogan.
