#WouldYouBelieve… I Was Today Year’s Old when I learned that comic actor #DonAdams (#GetSmart 1965–‘70, ‘95) was ALSO #InspectorGadget (1983-‘99).

I watched both shows as a kid and thought the resemblance was a coincidence.

Oh, and before all that, from 1963-‘66, Adams was Tennessee Tuxedo!

Wowsers!

#GetSmart 025 (1966) - 5/10
Unfunny guest character.

1️⃣ The pre-credits sequences is fantastic. No dialogue, but plenty of story and great gags.

2️⃣ Too much screentime is devoted to #JoeyForman as a character spoofing Charlie Chan. But he’s not funny. Just stupid. The genius of #DonAdams is that he makes Smart funny while being stupid. This guy is just annoying. He was given so much to do that I began to wonder if this was a backdoor pilot.
