HEY.

He was a great comic actor. He was typecast from his two best roles and his career ended after Gilligan's Island, but while he was on he really made it seem effortless. I really think that he was as good as Jerry Lewis and Buster Keaton at physical comedy.

By all reports, he was a nice person who cared about his community.

Goodbye, little buddy.

He was always the famous person I was proudest of when I would rattle off my "shares my birthday" list.

Kurt Cobain.... I have never been much of a Nirvana Fan but.... there's something about his passing and the desolation of his suicide that struck home with me. It really made me believe in the power of compassion.

Within two days we had someone admitted to the unit wearing a Kurt Cobain suicide tee shirt (The NYT Obit, IIRC). Yes, we made them take it off.

I was looking for a picture of that on Google Image Search, but instead I found what purports to be a hospital pic. Shotguns are very, very messy. Not for the fainthearted. Don't say I didn't warn you.

Kurt Cobain........not only was he a good musician....but i found him very interesting too......

Agent 86 is no more.

86 86'd.

I read yesterday that Don Adams was a pretty smart guy. Apparently, he never read the scripts. He would have someone read the script to him once or twice and that was all he needed. The crew would take bets that he wouldn't be able to finish the shoot without having to review his lines. Another actor done in by doing too good a job with his character - all he was able to get after Get Smart were voice jobs (including Inspector Gadget) excluding a few B-movie parts and some reunion stuff.

Get Smart took in a total of five Emmy Awards: Three for Don Adams (best actor in a comedy) and two for the show (best comedy).

For extra credit, which two people came up with the idea for the series and wrote the pilot? (Answer below - highlight from here down)

Mel Brooks and Buck Henry
(Answer just above)

I was surprised when I found this out. You only see Mel Brook's name mentioned once in the credits in the begining of the show. If you miss it, you'd never realize he had anything to do with it.

When I first heard this, I was surprised, because I didn't know Buck Henry did anything other than host SNL in the good old days.
