The Incredible Hulk and Agent 99 in a sitcom? It really happened tonight in 1977.

Bill Bixby and Barbara Feldon starred in THE NATURAL LOOK – an unsold pilot from MTM about a pediatrician and a cosmetics executive.

NBC passed and Bixby became The Hulk in Nov, '77.

I was watching an old episode of #GetSmart tonight*, and at the end of the episode, after defeating the Bad Guy, 99 explains how they've made the world more stable for their child to grow up in, and Max suddenly has doubts and asks "are you sure we did the right thing?"

I totally get that moment when you realize the reward for finding a lever and a place to stand is "congrats, you're now the establishment, make this shit work."

#GetSmart "came along at a time when the relationship between the general population and the government was getting edgy. And we sort of had a voice in that.”

#BuckHenry (1930–2020) — Emmy-winning co-creator of #GetSmart and Oscar-nominated writer of #TheGraduate (1967) and director of #HeavenCanWait (1978) — would have been 92 today.
