I didn't even know USA was still a channel. I guess my cable provider stopped carrying them.

The campfire scene will never fail to make me laugh

Anything by Mel Brooks has merit. One of his movies that did not get a lot of play was High Anxiety - classic mel brooks. He also wrote for the original Get Smart series - hence the reason Chaos was a bunch of failed nazis.

One of the all time classics

I didn't know Mel Brooks had anything to do with Get Smart. I loved that show as a kid. The remake, not so much.

The Get Smart series withstands the test of time - the humor is still relevant and as a series generally beats the pants off many of the 'sit coms' on tv today.

Agreed, same with F-Troop. Although I haven't seen F-Troop in a while.

Forgot all about F-Troop - also a winner along with Hogan's Heroes - and although I think the show was weak, who could forget about Barbara Eden in I dream of Genie

I saw Blazing Saddles with a bunch of friends when I was in high school. It had just been released and we went to the movie theater to see it. It was OUTRAGEOUSLY funny. I love Gene Wilder and Cleavon Little together in that movie. It couldn't have been casted any better.
