I remember a hosted variety show - possibly Garry Moore - that featured Vincent Price as a guest. He demonstrated how to cook fish in an automatic dishwasher. (The heat drying cycle only.)

If you enjoyed that, you should see Clint Eastwood when he was in Mr. Ed.

@@mphays Love that episode where Mr. Ed Crank Called Clint Eastwood.

See 'Witchfinder General' (1968) for Price doing the complete opposite; he's the title bad guy and is believably cruel and creepy...

@@Slammerworm1 That was Probably his Best Role in that Film.

But it is true, artificial sugars can kill.

@@MegaVijay1 Would you believe No they really can’t kill you. But in certain Conspiracy circles it’s certainly a popular belief. Generally the only thing you need to do To determine if a conspiracy is real is to check the source documents that they are using to draw their conclusions from. You will draw different conclusions then the people quoting excerpts

Same here. LOL

So did I! 🤣

Me too!! Back then the only artificial sweetner they had was saccharine, and boy, was it AWFUL!!!!

The movie was pretty good too.

This one was actually quite funny. Great lines, and ya gotta love Vincent Price.

I am glad you do, Anthony.

Anything by Mel Brooks ages like a fine wine. The man knew how to make comedy that lasts through the ages and the right cast to make Good into Phenomenal

Same here , it’s still funny

They wrote 99 as a paradox. On the one hand, she's a submissive sidekick to Max. On the other, she's super smart and competent and frequently outshines him. Max is the one who solves the cases and saves the day but would be lost without 99's help.

@@joeschembrie9450 That seemed to be a theme for Don Adams, i.e., Inspector Gadget.

@@aaronstark5060 I only watched a couple episodes of Inspector Gadget, but my impression is that Gadget is totally incompetent and Penny is the one who saves the day.

@@joeschembrie9450 That’s pretty much spot on. I was just saying that the characters were both heavily dependent on another person to get the job done who never got any credit.

By the look of her,she was on her 10th Vodka.

No, non they didn't. People would have realized that their "real" lives were the illusion, that in the end they were all being manipulated by "Control".

Yes, every.

Good script writing helped!

@@markfryer9880 ...It always helps. But the actor still has to pull it off.

That is what being prepared means.

I'd love some blooper reels....

The first episode had Michael Dunn playing a villain, again, named Mr. Big. It was a great episode and series, the reboot didn't take fortunately, nothing could replace this master piece.

Good to know. I just assumed they were making fun of Sweet N Low or Equal. Either way it was hilarious

They used to put in powdered kool aid drinks. It's SUGAR FREE! The brand names were racist too like showing Asian stereotype cartoon characters on the cover, lol. There are videos on KZfaq about it.

Cyclamate, discovered by accident in 1937, is an artificial chemical sweetener that is still used today. It is used like most zero-calorie sweeteners, is heat stable, and has a long shelf life. Food factories sometimes use this as a masking agent and sweetener enhancer. Cyclamate has zero glycemic index and zero calories, and is one of the cheapest artificial sweeteners in the world. In the 1960s, studies showed that cyclamate caused development of tumors in the bladders of rodents when fed large quantities. The U.S. banned cyclamate in 1969 due to the results of the study, however, the toxic ingredient is used in many other countries up until now. A common brand name of cyclamate is Sucaryl, manufactured by Merisant, and is sold in more than 90 countries worldwide.

They probably didn’t want to give anyone ideas.

Lol I was like dying when I saw this

Hilarious!!!

@@illusionclassicrock6742 That's a very good point

Yeah, but how do we know that it wasn't really artificial sweetener in that ring.

Matthew Hamersly maybe they shouldn’t have stopped him...

potsdam28 You're right! And maybe add some artificial sweeteners to make sure it has quick effects!

WE NEED A 21ST CENTURY AGENT 86 KNOWN AS MAXWELL SMART

Matthew Hamersly recreational LSD....?

Dude, Washington D.C. is actually 3rd world. -_-; TRUMP WILL BE IMPEACHED BY CHRISTMAS!

Get Smart did that thing a bit like Law and Order - having various actors that you knew from other things on as guest stars. Vincent Price was obviously a good choice for a "mad scientist" type of villain.

I'm making countless new, retro-discoveries like that . .

He was even on the Brady Bunch.

he did the original movie the fly.

@@timcassaday3045 Yeah, and that was a pretty good one. Maybe the best of the 'Fly's. I don't remember if he was in the 2nd one, but I'd guess he was . .

No. Price was there.

I was born 1998, but I can relate! My dad would show me shows like Batman, Munsters, Lost in Space, Star Trek, etc. TV shows from the 60's hold a special place in my heart. I'm also glad I'm not the only twenty-something that likes these types of shows. I sure do hope there are more creative TV shows in the future just like the ones from the 60's.

I thought was talking about DC.

Taylor Williams fun fact, that is the voice of inspector gadget

@@badazzmaro - You are correct, Bear. Don Adams was the voice of Inspector Gadget. Adams also did the voice of Tennessee Tuxedo.

@@scootergeorge9576 yup :'( I cried after Adams passed away.

Word up! My favorite batman is still Adam West. F the haters.

Let's not forget he was also Professor Ratagen from Disney's the great mouse detective.

During that part where Vincent Price appeared to be fainting, his wide blue eyes made me laugh 'till I snorted.

The Raven and Edward Scissorhand.

He was a lot more versatile than he ever got credit for. I’ve seen some of his dramatic works and he was fantastic in that capacity as well. As much as I love his work as a horror icon, it’s a shame that’s all he was ever remembered for.

@@aaronstark5060 Ain't that the truth?

And that voice--Barbara Feldon is wonderful!

Mine too.

In Hawaii.

I grew up in the 1960s. Cuban Missile Crisis, JFK assassination, riots burning cities, RFK assassination, Martin Luther King assassination, Black Power, Vietnam.... Better to just remember Get Smart.

I’m sure he asked to be put in an episode.

Buy the box set...I think you can get it on Amazon. I have it, and thoroughly enjoy it over and over and over again till I laugh so hard i throw up...just joking...lol

www.amazon.ca/Get-Smart-Complete-Don-Adams/dp/B001E0O8DA/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1501991884&sr=8-6&keywords=get+smart+box+set

fiction is good I have the box set; it opens & opens & opens like the intro with all the doors and phone booth! Worth every cent! I also recommend The Complete Bullwinkle, Underdog, and The Prisoner boxed sets...priceless! I never tire of watching them!

Funny I have all series on DVD and I'm not watching them LOL

@@DanielField2023 so, send them to me? I'd enjoy them.......

......same..... sigh.

He made Two Films in that role.

Yeah i was waiting for him to break out the antman suit

True. By the way, 99 looked great in that YELLOW JACKET didn't she?

Max's is also Tennessee Tuxedo

You don't shit out calcium.

I'd blame the writers! At that point in the show, I think Buck Henry and Mel Brooks were (more or less) Californians. I'd bet most of the writing staff (if they used a stable) would have been LA-based. I don't know where 99 hails from, but Barbara Feldon grew-up in your neck of the woods (well, a few hours away). BTW, "freeways" seems to now be the norm in most of the West and some of the Midwest. I rarely hear "Route", occasionally "highway". In San Francisco during the 60s, I could tell who was from southern California because they always said, "we just take the 101 to the 10...." My parents, who used "freeway" generally, would say, "highway 1-oh-1". The old LA phraseology is now used in the Bay Area; most everyone (my mother included), just says, "I'll take the 2-eighty". Yup. Blame the writers! (While I'm procrastinating: Regarding toll roads, things have changed in the last 50 years, but still, ~15 westernish states have no toll roads. In Colorado, I'm aware of only one, built recently. In California, there are a few, mostly built in the late 80s and 90s. So that terminology would never be heard.)

If you watch the series carefully, you learn that 99's name is Susan Hilton.

@@craiglachman1379 At that point, Mel Brooks & Buck Henry had absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with the show.

@ZoneFighter1 Because we don't have freeways in Nebraska, only expressways.

@@jacquesdemorton5871 You should have watched *more* carefully, because at the end of that episode 99 comes right out and says that's not her real name. It was a fake name. Her name was never revealed at any point in the series.
