Bummer. That shit was funny.

Then I just heard on the Radio that Agent 99 died years ago. I totally missed that !

Nope--still alive at 73.

"I told you not to tell me that, 99!"

********************************

"We've got the U.S. Navy on the way."

"I don't believe it."

"Would you believe three boy scouts and a rowboat?"

Sad, but true. RIP.

I haven't seen the reruns in years. As for the cone of silence, I've been calling the hallway in my building, here on the 8th floor, that for years.

I'm glad she is still around.

A fine looking lady.

I would have never guessed she was 73.

She doesn't look it.

A more recent photo--still lookin' mighty fine:

BTW, some sites list her birth year as 1932, while others list it as 1941.

Let's see how you look at 64 or 73.

Don Adams' daughter Cathy was my "suite" mate (We shared at bathroom between our two rooms) at the University of Redlands. When we would go out late at night to a coffee shop, she only had $100 bills and this was 1967! She was a very nice person and we had a lot of fun - I lost touch with her after college.

I think Don used to post here under the name of Weizin.

Don't get all technical on me.

You knew what I meant.

We lost him to the upgrades.

Not Craw; CRAW!

[Dan Gould]

But Max, you'll be in terrible danger!

And, loving it!

[AllenLowe]

anybody ever notice how much the Get Smart theme sounds like "Walkin'" ?

[JSngry]

Now that you mention it, no.

[Ron S]

Would you believe, "A Night In Tunisia"?

[AllenLowe]

similar intervals, last part VERY close - somebody shoulda sued someboday - of course. this is typical TV - Odd Couple Theme sounds just like Bag's Groove - and Inspector Gadger theme is a direct ripoff of Topsy -

And New Mexico looks just like Colorado.

I noticed. What's up with that?

[Jim Alfredson]

Sounds like a song lyric....

"New Mexicooooooo looks just like Coloradooooo

When we're driving through in our 60s Elderadooooooooo.... YEAH!"

Thank you, I'll be here all night!

C to F to E to F

vs

F (to C to E to F) to B to C

An E over a dominant C+ is the same as a B over an tonic F7?

I'm tempted to say that you shoulda sued your theory teacher, but I respect you too much to do it!

And it's that respect that's gonna let me give you a pass on that "last part" business. There's a rough similarity in rhtymic/melodic contour, but a rough similarity is all it is.
