Nope, positive it was a "Get Smart" episode. This would have been well before Mad TV.

I used to watch, but again perhaps either too young to catch the nuance or... never saw the movie, so didn’t get the joke within the jokes... I thought they could have had a sexier agent 99 than Barbara Feldman. As a lad I was more fixated on big-busted blondes. I guess that was the Marilyn Monroe influence of the times. Maybe Feldman had more to offer than I could appreciate back then, too... |

Okay Inger, I had to go look it up. Would you believe it aired on January 30 1970? The plot, a parody of the actual movie, had everybody on the CONTROL baseball team die except for Max and The Chief. They begin to suspect each other and hilarity ensues.

Feldon, not Feldman... |

Admittedly not well-endowed in the classic sense, but I'm okay with willowy. |

They begin to suspect each other and hilarity ensues. I was 16. Youth was no excuse. Maybe I was working. I usually worked nights on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Luckily, I never had to worry about having a date. I was always working. Hmmm. That explains a lot...Note to self: If there IS a second time around, add this to list of things to change... |

I’ve seen what happens when they migrate south... If I knew then What I know now... |

Feldon is still with us at 86. Formerly a PA gal, she was born in Bethel Park, out near Pittsburgh. She now lives in NYC...
Once won 1st prize on the $64,000 question in the category of “Shakespeare”. Back then $64K would buy you a nice home, new car, swimming pool, and leave you enough money to have a mistress. Today you can’t buy a pickup truck with it...

Well there you go. Doing something constructive instead of watching Max and The Chief bumbling through. I would have been in college then, so whatever night of the week it was on I would have been engaged in something that would have had no socially redeeming value. And loving it, as Max would say. |

Loved Get Smart. I bet they couldn't do "The Craw" bit today.

My favorite Douglas role was in "Out of the Past" with Robert Mitchum. Mitchum was the star of the movie, but the scenes of them together are great. Douglas was also very courageous. He made sure blacklisted screenwriter Dalton Trumbo was hired to write "Spartacus". Took a lot of guts to do this during this time in our country's history. You really seem to be quite a follower of some of these old black and whites, desousa. Reading this thread makes me want to go back in time and review some of the stuff I should have been watching instead of a 37th showing of each of the “Three Stooges” episodes... I read yesterday that after “Gunfight” Burt Lancaster said <paraphrased> : Kirk Douglas can be difficult to work with. He’d be the first one to tell you that. I’d be the second. What a wonderful forum we have here that we can speak to other of life’s issues without having to stick to baseball only... On an episode of "Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, Alec Baldwin tells a story (using imitations) about Burt Lancaster and Kirk Douglas when they worked together on a film called "Tough Guys". Seems like Burt and Kirk liked to mess with each other. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wn34MUI8k_s |

Today you can’t buy a pickup truck with it... Most recent photos I've seen of her she looked amazingly good for her age, highly recognizable but in a natural way. Before "Get Smart" she used to do commercials for Alberto VO5 hair gel, spread out on a tiger-skin rug and purring " I want a word with all you tigers. You men know who you are." I thought to myself, "is that lady talking to me?" Adolescent thrills. |

Had to run to the bathroom afterward. “Can I get my shower now ma”? “It’s 2 PM. Are you crazy. Besides, you’re only eight and we don’t have a shower”... |

I wish people could embrace that side of themselves. Use it as a symbol of how far they’ve come... “Here, try some clawdads”... |
