[QUOTE="Silver Moon, post: 2357505, member: 8530"] Well, Edward Platt who played the chief was dead by the time they made that, so I wouldn't fault them for using a new chief. In 1989 they did a reunion movie for TV that had many of the original cast in it including agent 99. Then in 1995 they relaunched the series with most of the original cast but centered around Andy Dick as Maxwell Smart Junior. But Dick had already done the pilot for "Newsradio" that same year and it was picked up as a series, resulting in him immediatly quitting Get Smart (him thinking an orginal ensemble cast Network show was a better career move than a syndicated show based upon a remake) . Without the new star the show immediately folded after only around a half-dozen or so episodes (all of which aired). As for other 60's shows being made into movies, Miami Vice and I Dream of Jeannie are currently in pre-production and a script for Hogan's Heroes has been floating around hollywood for a while now.
