Hey, Eileenaflowerforyou ,

Personally, I think TV in general isn't anywhere near as good now as it used to be. Cannell WAS the man in the 80's! I think he went downhill in the 90s tho. Renegade(a syndicated show) was pure crap!

Any guesses on my latest question?

Prior to playing Maxwell Smart, Don Adams played a hotel detective on a TV series.

Name the show, and his character's name--first AND last.

I went out of my way to make this a hard one, Carebeardrinker

Tell you what--one clue:

Jonathan Harris (Dr, Smith, Lost In Space) played the hotel manager in this show.

The only other thing that I can think of that he played before that time was Tennesse Tuxedo but that was a cartoon detective. he had a partner named Chumley. It was on the Underdog show. I used to watch it all the time because he was very funny.

Way To Go Zim!drinker

Wow, I thought that was a hard one! You did great, sir!

Don Adams developed some of his Maxwell Smart mannerisms on this show, including his famous "Would you believe..." catchphrase.
