    I remember watching “get smart” as a kid and enjoying it, so i downloaded it all to give it a go. I’m finding it unwatchable now that we have mobile phones; i can’t suspend my familiarity with the technology long enough to think a shoe phone is cool.

    Same thing happened with knight rider. I can’t watch it now because dude is basically just driving around a tesla. It talks? It has gps? Autopilot? Fucking yawn

    • don't be silly, Star Trek isn't un-watchable yet just because we don't have androids like Data running around...

      bttf still holds up in many ways!      SteveJobs
    • Back to the Future was on an entirely different level than those silly tv shows. Bttf was master filmmakers and an amazing script.

    • Same for Star Trek TNG. If you think the were exploring space, you're missing the point.garbage
    • Not really the same still

    • Get Smart started 55 years ago. The shoe phone was a joke then. So, I don't think that one applies.CyBrainX
    • We should all be impressed how much Star Trek predicted and to some degree influenced the future. Case in point: The Motorola Star Tac.CyBrainX
    • As a kid Streeethawk taught me motorbikes went at 600kph. Imagine my disappointment when I jacked my mother's moped.face_melter
    • As if the point of Get Smart is the shoephone.i_monk
    • Get smart was all about agent 99Gnash
    • Back to the Future is DARK too! There's a theory that Marty actually dies many times yet he doesnt know, but Doc does.microkorg
    • @micro Marty most definitely dies countless times, probably several times in the tunnel sequence alone.garbage
    • Doc was never honest about the sanctity of time travel, but only because he thought he was the only one smart enough to toy with it.garbage
