Hello, nick86 here.

I found this place on MI6 where you can find me by my alias nick_007

I've seen a few episodes of Get Smart and really enjoyed them. I've been wanting to see more ever since.

I was on the set of the 2008 Get Smart film, it was very fun and cool to see how it all came together in the final cut.

I'm Canadian, but I love to travel when I can afford to.

I'd like to get into the Get Smart TV show a little more, that's why I joined this place.

Nice to see some of my friends from MI6 here too. ;D

so where should I go first? I forgot how overwhelming forums are when you first join them.

[colly]

dont be too overwhelmed nick...like you i am only just voyaging through get Smart - I bought the DVDs not sop long ago and am loving it....

places to go? well i would advise:

Board for the original series
Which get Smart character are you? - take the quiz
Smart links page - if you want to look beyond us!

if your interested in fan art, avatars and what not - you may want to check out The Old Drawing board

or for something completely different, get a load of the Get Smart comics - with link to where they can be downloaded!

apart from that theres other nooks to be explored - unfortunately with not too many of use the watercooler never runs empty....

[the guy in Control]

glad to have you aboard, Nick!

i remember you posted some photos at MI6 that you took from the set of the new movie... you should share those again in our section for the new movie...

just chime in wherever you like! and feel free to ask questions or whatever, as the mood strikes you!

This may be a little late, but:

- I'm on MI6/KTBEU as Major D.Smythe (eh, i'm creative with my usernames me).

- I'm a bit of a horror film fan. Friday The 13th is my favourite horror film series, with May being my singular favourite horror film.

- Some of my favourite actress are: Charlotte Rampling, Isabelle Adjani, Angela Bettis, Kelly Brook, Olivia Hussey, Isabelle Huppert and quite a few others. Favourite actors such as: Terry-Thomas, Gene Hackman, Frank Sinatra, Robert Mitchum, again as well as a few others.

- I'm also a James Bond fan. Have, have been one for as long as I can remember. Earliest Bond memories are of the James Bond jr cartoon.

- I'm something of a big kid at heart, especially with model cars & computer games.

- Some of my favourite tv shows: Dead Like Me, La Femme Nikita, Hustle & Rebus.

- I'm a car nut: The Ford Cortina, all classic Alfa Romeo's (as well as a few modern ones, Porsche's, the odd Mercedes Benz, Lamborgini's from the 1960's to the 1980's and 1 or two from the modern day etc...

nice to know you (better), Major!

in the year and a half since i started this thread, my DVD collection has grown to almost 800 titles!

i liked the bit about putting down favorite TV shows, so i'll try that - i like mostly older shows (Get Smart, Andy Griffith, Adventures of Superman, Dukes of Hazard, Batman, Honeymooners, Beverly Hillbillies, etc, etc, etc)... i also like a few not-so-old old shows (Everybody Loves raymond, seinfeld, King of Queens)... i don't watch most of what's being put out these days... newer shows i do generally like include The Office, Mythbusters, and Smallville, though i've never watched a new episode of Smallville when it originally aired - i've been watching the episodes in order on DVD for a few years, and i'm up to about Season 7 now, so NOBODY TELL ME WHAT HAPPENS!

it's also a little-known fact that i like cartoons... i'm not talking about the rubbish on the cartoon Network or NickToons, and i don't just mean Family Guy or The Simpsons (though those two are sometimes amusing), but i really love classic cartoons - Looney Tunes, The Pink Panther, The Inspector, Popeye, classic Disney flicks with Mickey/Donald/Goofy/Pluto/Chip'n'Dale... also, the occasional Disney cartoon movie like Robin Hood or Peter Pan (none of that fairy/princess crap!)... i used to love GI Joe when i was younger, but i haven't seen that in ages... also, i prefer stuff that's hand-drawn, and not so much this computer animated junk, though once in a while there's a good one like The Incredibles or Meet the Robinsons... i'm fairly selective about what i like, but when i find something i like, i like to hang onto it!

I did post a more detailed list/ my top in the thread below this. I'm a list maker, films, actors/actresses, tv shows, games, i've got one for them all. ;D

[the guy in Control]

it would be difficult for me to make a list of favorite actors/actresses - even harder to actually rank them in any way... i'd have a hard time ranking movies and TV shows, too, though i can rank things in small categories like "Get Smart movies", overall seasons, or episodes with specific characters/characteristics...
