RIP, Don Adams

I can't believe he was 82! Time really flies. Hope he gets to hook up with 99 in the afterlife.

It is scary how many little every day type jokes come from that series- "Missed it by THAT much", Cone of Silence, shoe phones; even MST3K paid homage in their door/hatch closing sequences.

I have also heard that Agent 99 was originally Agent 69, but they couldn't blow that by the censors. Heh.

I make regular references to requisitioning a Cone of Silence for the overly loud coworker sitting behind me.

Go go Gadget Cone of Silence in Asile 9!

I first knew him from Inspector Gadget, then I saw Get Smart.  Great show.  Then of course there was "Check It Out" which was rerun wayyyy too many times on USA.

You kind of figured he was old, given when Get Smart first aired, but you just kind of forgot it.  Sort of like forgetting Bob Denver was in his late 80s too.

Good Journey, Don.

Yeah that show was great, as was agent 99.

I can't seem to find it anywhere on the web (and I'm not looking overly hard) but didn't he also do the voice of Tennessee Tuxedo? 

I traded in my fun blog for several legal blogs. Or, "blawgs," as the cutesy attorney blawgosphere likes to call 'em.

Yeah, they mentioned that on the news this morning when they were talking about him.  Thing is, I have no idea who TT is.  I must google now.

Hey, I said I wasn't looking that hard.  I knew it was him just by the voice, it's just sad that none of the newsbits I've read about him include the TT stuff, Underdog was a huge part of my childhood cartoon experience, that and the Rocky & Bullwinkle show.   UHF TV in rural America ftw.

the Rocky & Bullwinkle show

As the season DVDs come out, I've been getting my 5 year old son to watch Rocky & Bullwinkle. He seems to enjoy it, although not quite as much as Looney Tunes. He's also watched the Wacky Races DVD set a number of times. I've been getting him into the Pink Panther cartoons but my 2 year old daughter seems to like them more than my son.

Looney Tunes/Merry Melodies were always my favorites, but I really dug the Aardvark in the Panthery cartoons.

Rocky and Bullwinkle is better for slightly older kids, in my opinion.  Its humor isn't so obvious or slapsticky, more absurd.  A bit too subtle for a five year old, I think.  At least, I didn't appreciate Rocky and Bullwinkle then... not until I was about 10 or so did I really start to "get it."
