When I was a lad, two of my absolute favorite shows were "Batman" and "Get Smart". I would plan my day around them. I was watching "Batman - The Movie" when Reagan was shot and I was livid that they would interrupt my show with something as insignificant as as assassination attempt! Time marched on and I didn't see either show for many years. Then announcements were made that "Get Smart" was coming to TV Land and "Batman" was going to be shown on the Sci-Fi Channel! Hurrah! Well, both shows have been on for some time now, and I have been unable to stomach more than 5 minutes of either one, even after many tries. Chalk up another two shows from my childhood that are dead to me now.

You should be happy about your improved tastes in entertainment.

While I too could not handle Batman now, I would be watching Get Smart all the time if I had TV Land. Of course it is always fun to make fun of shows like Batman.

I find that Get Smart is holding up OK--but then again, I'm only watching every once in a while, and I haven't seen these re-runs for almost 30 years... Campy like Batman, but a little more absurdist as well...

Yes, that is one of the unfortunate signs of getting older.

Get Smart is not as funny as it was when I was kid. God, I too was really excited. I guess just the nostalgia of watching a show when you did not realize who campy it was. I did watch the marathon. I enjoyed most of them. But I was not glued to it as much as I had been when I was a kid.

Oh well. I do catch some of the episdoes I did not watch when the marathon was on.
