Synopsis

Get Smart is an American comedy television series that satirizes the secret agent genre. Created by Mel Brooks with Buck Henry, the show stars Don Adams, Barbara Feldon, and Edward Platt. Henry said they created the show by request of Daniel Melnick, who was a partner, along with Leonard Stern and David Susskind, of the show's production company, Talent Associates, to capitalize on "the two biggest things in the entertainment world today"—James Bond and Inspector Clouseau. Brooks said: "It's an insane combination of James Bond and Mel Brooks comedy." This is the only Mel Brooks production to feature a laugh track. The success of the show eventually spawned the follow-up films The Nude Bomb and Get Smart, Again!, as well as a 1995 revival series and a 2008 film remake. In 2010, TV Guide ranked Get Smart's opening title sequence at No. 2 on its list of TV's Top 10 Credits Sequences, as selected by readers.

FrogGlace In other words,this film is a surreal ride.
Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.
parentjf I really admire the way Agent 86, Maxwell Smart, always find a clever and unpredictable way of defeating the evil organization KAOS while being funny. I mean you are dealing with evil and dangerous individuals here. It is really masterful to defeat them so easily while being entertaining for the beloved public.I don't think the world has known any other agents like Maxwell Smart. The cherry on the cake is obviously the gorgeous Agent 99: she is always there to save the day when Smart run out of trick...
pablocarlos I can't say enough about this show. Don Adams was brilliant as Maxwell Smart, charming in his ineptitude, flawless in his comic timing. The gags were consistently hilarious. The bits of business like the shoe phone or the cone of silence were outrageous. And Barbara Feldon as agent 99 was deliciously sexy. The plots weren't the point really, the gags were, and the excellent comic characterizations. Check out Bernie Kopell pre Love Boat as KAOS agent Siegfried or Dick Gautier as Hymie. With Mel Brooks and Buck Henry at the helm, how could you go wrong. Maxwell Smart lives on in the pantheon of fictional cold war spies alongside James Bond, Harry Palmer and Derek Flint. Austin Powers has nothing on these cats.
Montaya_111 I would like to say that, the only ever 10 I have given was to LA Confidential. This show was easily the best show on Television. Don Adams was brilliant. Get Smart was incredibly intelligent, it didn't have the CGI of today, so it had to have good scripts. I always found the the shows were entertaining and hilarious. Don Adams was perfect for the role of Maxwell Smart, Barbra Feldon was Sexy, Smart, and Hilarious. You feel bad for Ed Platt as the Chief because nothing good ever seems to happen to him. I would easily recommend this series to anyone to watch, buy, or give as a gift. I guarantee watching it you will be hard pressed not to laugh. I wish a Farewell to Don Adams, you will be missed, may you Rest in Peace.
thimmelheberAtYahooDotCom Most people don't know, but a Comedy Genius (even today) was the Creator and Exec. Producer of this series "Get Smart" and little known beginnings, for that person! The name?....... Mel Brooks!!! "original" The Producers (1968) film was done during the TV run of Get Smart TV series - this was his "start" in the biz!!! He later went on to producer, write, and direct (mostly) such fantastic films as Young Frankenstein... Blazing Saddles... High Anxiety... Space Balls... Robin Hood: Men In Tights... and so on and so forth, yadda yadda yadda!!! His first film "The Producers" was recently remade into a HIT Comedy "musical" Stageplay, which was then remade into a Hit musical-comedy FILM - as if the ORIGINAL 1968 (non-musical, but had music) wasn't good enough?!!! OY!!!LLAP, TERRELL B)
