I knew Don Adams. And you, Steve Carell, are no Don Adams. (hat tip: Jonah)

Steve Carell may not be Don Adams, but he still has the overwhelming advantage of being Steve Carell. Maxwell Smart is the sort of material I think he could have a lot of fun with. Now Matthew Broderick, he's no Don Adams.
I'm with Chris. If you're going to pick someone nowadays to play Maxwell Smart, Carell is a pretty good choice. Any other suggestions? And Anne Hathaway as 99? Also a good choice. "Missed me by that much."

The truth is that this show, despite all the funny people attached to it, just wasn't really that funny. (And I say that as someone who, even though I was just a kid, instinctively knew that Barbara Feldman was a woman I wanted to, uh, spend some time with ... even if I didn't know why.) And, of course, the less said about "The Nude Bomb" the better.
I just hope that in the movie, the bad guys are clear Arab stereotypes - dirty, smelly, pick their teeth with knives, only smile when Christians are in pain, fry and eat caucasian babies - so Jonah Pantload, K-Lo, Sailer and the rest of the Konservative Kritics Korner aren't offended.
