Missed It by That Much More

I know some of you are going to give me hater comments like crazy, but I always felt that 99 could have been played by anyone. Barbara Feldon's character ended up being nothing more than some sappy love interest that barely had any personality of her own and only proved her worth as a last-minute savior time after time. At least the new movie (2008) proved me right about her and ended up as good as the first movie.

It's pretty sad when the most interesting character in the show is played by Elaine Hendrix, who by the way didn't even play a member of the Smart family. I'm not attempting to defame her, but making Don Adams a backup character so much that the new female agent actually gets more screen time and better jokes was a HUGE mistake. I have to agree that Andy Dick had to be that "what were they smoking?" casting decision that eventually killed the series. And by eventually, I also mean quickly. They used every cliche in the book, and watered down the humor so badly that fans of the original series were left feeling like they walked into a lactose-based fart cloud. There were only 7 episodes, and thankfully they stopped there.

Stick with the original series and the movies. They are much funnier than this pile.
