I thought it was Phineas J. Whoopee.
Oh, well...

Well, it sounds better than getsmartcontrol99 which I think is too long as well.

The opening sequence of that show was just mesmerizing. I don't remember much about it, though. Like, I remember enjoying it as a little girl but I was not old enough to understand what was funny about it. I'll have to be more tolerant of my kids doing that.

Chris, shouldn't you have started this by saying "Would you believe...?"
So much Smart so little time! Goodbye Agent 86!

Would you believe, 120 years old, and died while single-handedly saving earth from an asteroid the size of Manhattan? No?

I'm sad all over again, being reminded of The Don and when He died...
