I was going to write about my favorite Get Smart scene, but I kept remembering more and more of them!

The echo in the Cone of Silence (which Max alone can’t hear).
and
“Not the Craw, the Craw!” A very silly bit of (now politically incorrect) wordplay with the Asian evil doctor known as “the Claw” who was always correcting Max’s pronunciation of his name.

Some fun, silly stuff.
RIP

Sad. Great comedies from the 60s and 70s.
