I read about this in the paper this morning, and it made me sad (although I'm not sure if I was being sad for the passing of Don Adams, or the passing of another part of my youth). I watched every episode of Get Smart religiously, even after it was well into Jump The Shark stage (this before the invention of the term "Jump the Shark") when he was married to 99 and has twins, etc. The show influenced my youth to some extent, as well: the expression "Would you believe..." was popular amongst my circle of friends, and was spawned directly from the show.
I understand a movie is currently in the works, with Steve Carrell (40 Year Old Virgin) in the Smart role. I hope it captures the absurdist humour of the show without having to resort to stupidty.
