That said, the expression "Missed it by that much" of course immediately invoked great memories of Get Smart. Not the TV show either, but rather the paperback books. Made me laugh back then, and makes me laugh now thinking about laughing back then.
Speaking of Get Smart, I have to say I didn't like the 2008 remake. It was a little too violent compared to my fond memories of the series. On the other hand, Anne Hathaway makes almost any movie worth watching.
Sorry. Purity prevails. Barbara Feldon is irreplaceable.
Thank goodness there was never a mash-up episode featuring 99 versus Mrs. Peel; my poor little adolescent head would have exploded. And if Batgirl had dropped by . . .
Glad you are unscathed. Ugh.
