Remember the TV Show "Get Smart"?

The USA intelligence was named "Control" and the Russian intelligence name was "Kaos".

Interesting how this comedy in the 1960's was ahead of its time because we certainly are experiencing a Russian induced chaos.

There's only One spy who looked cool in a Karmann Ghia - Sterling Hayden (whiskey dents help one fly under the radar when doing undercover work).

Throw in a 1800-2000 cc engine, and I'd be good to go. Bummer, the remaining ones still on the road are totally 'collectible' and to pricey.

Our cable with 1 box was $125 we would by $50 in tv series or movies a month and still had more than enough to help with gas.

Great show...and a big part of what made it great was taking super-hero-type characters--as spies were depicted in popular culture at the time--and putting them in an ordinary 9-5 office environment.

That was some Mel Brooks genius right there.
