I remember the original TV series. Ok, I'm that old.
Anyway, always very funny. Loved it! Must admit, though, that I have not yet seen the movie.

Owned this in every form possible, today on DVD. Possibly one of the funniest shows ever made, although it's hard to ever pick as much as a top ten.

99: 86, you're twice the man 43 is.

Mmmmm! Barbara Feldon! And yes, I am that old.
Great running gags in that show, like the Cone of Silence! Mel Brooks and Buck Henry were geniuses.

The cone of silence... I still loved going to my pals house to watch VHS tapes of this, someone had taped directly from the TV, that he'd found who-knows-where. Hardcore laughs.

Ah, the cone of silence! Loved it.
If I've got this right, that episode with Smart having a 3-barrel hand gun shooting forward, left and right at the same time was hilarious as well.

Does the movie have Hymie the over-literal robot? ("Kill the lights, Hymie!" Bang!)

From this thread I had earlier today watched a few episodes on my Ipod Touch4.
Glad I did! Made me laugh and reduced my occassional depression.
And 99 was HOT.
