[@vwm8534]

One of the best sitcoms of all time!

[@moeomoton520]

Shows like this don't exist anymore, wish they did. Pure comedic genius!!! Mr. Brooks and Mr. Henry!

[@jeepguy220]

young people wouldn't get the humor, you'd need a translator!

[@jimreeves1954]

And of course, Don Adams

[@solracer66]

moeomoton520 The short-lived ‘80s show Police Squad probably came the closest to catching the same magic.

[@dank8865]

Don't leave out all the GENIUS comedic timing brought in every episode by guest stars and famous & especially no-name cameo actors. They made the show work. Ed Platt, Ms. Feldman, and Don Adams were the baseline, the foundation the show had as a constant. It was the ever changing talent that were the jewels that made it sparkle.

[@bruce5099]

Who wasn't in love with Barbara Feldon? So many young heated memories from when I was young and she was slaying it. Don Adams was genius especially in that role. Great show!

[@jimmycake1]

One of my favorite gags ... "NOT THE CRAW !! ... THE CRAW"

[@edryba4867]

TRY AGAIN. That’s “Not Craw… Craw!”. And it didn’t matter WHAT Adams and Feldon did, if they did it as Control agents 86 and 99. No matter what, they were PERFECT TOGETHER! And they needed Andy Dick like a manhole-cover as pocket change. How about NOT AT ALL? EVER? It’s tough enough to get laughs when you want them in Prime Time, laugh tracks notwithstanding. The absolute last thing ANYONE needs is a complete IDIOT chewing the scenery and screwing up a carefully crafted scene! Do you really think the Writers and Producers took an attitude of, “Well, let’s just throw it all at the wall, one take at a time, and see what sticks? OF COURSE THEY DIDN’T! There was just too much money and too little time at stake for them to take an attitude like THAT! And fools like Andy Dick lived up to their names and screwed the whole thing up anyway. The Principal Players had already proven THEY could do it right, with lord-knows-how-many episodes of the original “Get Smart” series to their credit! And although you don’t normally hear a lot of crazy things like flutter-toungueing on saxophones (mostly because it’s quite difficult to do), the Get Smart band does things like this on occasion because IT SOUNDS FUNNY! It’s just one more little thing that adds to the over-the-top humor of the ORIGINAL SHOW, and made that kind of humor so difficult to reach on ANY kind of regular basis on the subsequent shows.

The younger actress was murdered by a stalker, but, I have no idea what happened to the rest of the cast, if it is available for streaming, etc. Any "forgotten" shows like that, or, Stark Raving Mad, Good Morning Miami, etc.

I watched it the whole time when it actually came out. I was in grade school and jr. high. I knew nothing about 007 or other spy movies that it was doing satire of.

That Sunbeam was a Sunbeam 'Tiger'. A production car that sported a small block V-8... 289c.i., I believe. A kick ass little car!!

[@Colt-tf6xf]

Most were 260s, the Mustang market initially consumed all of the available 289s, so the Brits were left with 260s that were more available.

[@billymillions]

My dad had one, which had the 260 in it. A spunky little car from what I was told. A 4 speed, with a long first gear (55mph). Top speed at about 125.

[@brucerogermorgan2388]

The Sunbeam Tiger started life as the Sunbeam Alpine. It was decided to fit the small-block Ford motor primarily for the American market, and yes, is was a kick-ass little car! Out-handled anything built in the USA, as they still hadn't worked out how to make suspension that worked properly. Still haven't, look at the Chrysler 300C. Looks great, handles like a marshmallow. Unfortunately it was killed off when Chrysler bought Rootes Group, and they did not have a V8 engine that would fit the Tiger. There was absolutely no way that a Chrysler product was going to be sold with a Ford engine, so that was the end of it. Very sad! And yes, I totally fancied agent 99. Beautiful and very clever, how could anyone resist!

I remember when I was a kid in the 60's in my room hearing my dad roaring with laughter downstairs watching Get Smart. it was past my bedtime but my brother and I would sneak 1/2 way down the stairs to get a glimpse of what he was watching. Now, as an old man myself, I have 5 seasons of the show on DVD and roar with laughter just as my dad would. Siegfried, Hymie, the Chief, Larabee, Agent 13... there were so many great characters i can't even begin to name them all. But above all, above Don Adams' perfect comedic timing and delivery, Barbara Feldon's exquisite reactions to the idiocy surrounding her and the unique gadgets they used and encountered, the writing was so much better than anything we get nowadays. Lose the laugh track and you have a practically perfect comedic exercise.

[@henrykujawa4427]

As far as I know, Buck Henry was MUCH more involved in the show than Mel Brooks was. But he tends to get overlooked. I'm not really sure if Brooks was involved past the pilot episode, while Buck Henry was producer for the first 2 seasons. After he left, they went thru 3 DIFFERENT producers in season 3, the show somewhat changing styles as it went. The first 2 of those, they seemed to completely forget 86 & 99 were romantically involved ever since the pilot. The last set of producers in season 3, who stayed until the end, got the romance back on track over a series of stories. First, in the 2-parter with Don Rickles, they played up 99 getting annoyed that Max has been ignoring her. Then, they did the story where she left Control to get married... except, he turned out to be... "A KAOS agent? I knew he was a lier and a crook-- but, a SPY??" And soon after they were shown for the first time going out on a date together. I love how in the "GET SMART AGAIN" reunion movie, they'd been married for 20 years and their kids were in college. That went completely against the grain for most 80s sitcoms.

My dad literally had several VHS tapes full of Get Smart episodes that he’d recorded. I could often get I’m his good graces when I would record episodes for him and cut the commercials. I liked it as a kid but loved it as a teen and even till now. It was my Dads show like mine odds South Park

Younger people won't understand how popular the TV and Film 'Spy Craze' truly was. Espionage stories, series and films sprung up everywhere ranging from R-rated violent dramas to cartoons for children. 'Get Smart' was the first and best 'Spy Send Up'. The original concept by Buck Henry and Mel Brooks was pure comedic genius which, in other hands, could have easily been an embarrassing flop. Not many TV sitcoms, that ran for a mere 5 years, had the impact of significantly changing and adding to the English language where ever it was spoken. "Missed it by that much", "would you believe...", "And loving it!" and others were used in everyday, casual conversation for around 20 years; in fact, older people these days can still be heard referring to Max's catch phrases when they get together. (Obviously, Max's catch phrases were translated into other languages but I have no idea if they were as popular or long lasting.) Finally, I hate to break it to you, Facts Verse, but all 13 "Top-Secret" facts from this show were, and are still, well known to millions of fans... would you believe 11? Cheers, and thanks for this video. Bill H.

One more thing.... Don also was on a sitcom called "Check it out" He was a grocery store manager who went from crisis to crisis.

[@kevinwhitescarver8369]

I seem to recall one episode where 99 was referred to as Susan. It's been a long time. But I watched the show religiously. Always funny.

MaxWELL Smart, MaxWELL, MaxWELL, MaxWELL! My spine is bending out of my body, his intimates called him 'Max' his enemies called him 'Maxwell Smart.' My brother is our resident authority on the show and we can't recall a single time he was called 'Max Smart.'

Hymie at the track meet stands out as the funniest episode for me.

[@l00k4tstuff]

Would you believe I watched the original run as a kid growing up? Would you believe I saw it in reruns while at college? How about I discovered it on TV Land?

[@jodeanesullens6588]

No,but I would believe two boy scouts in a dinghy.

[@pudgebl67]

@@jodeanesullens6588 No... How about a bunch boy scouts with rabies

[@sugarnads]

I find that very hard to believe.

[@kevindondrea144]

I could picture Tom Poston as Max but I do agree on Don Adams being cast He nailed it.

[@playwithmeinsecondlife6129]

"I'm 86, she's 99." "She don't look it."

[@keithbannister9271]

Duh.... Your joke "Missed it, by that much!" 😝😝😝

[@michaelsokol8701]

Don Adams was my favorite

[@donaldparlettjr3295]

You forgot that he served during WW2 in the South Pacific Campaign at Guadalcanal. He served in the First Marines. He suffered horribly with his fellow Marines battling not only the Japanese but dysentery, malaria, and dengue fever.

[@taelorwatson9822]

And loving it

[@geraldgarduna2225]

What a great story 💯👍

[@kevinkim390]

I thought Don Adams and Barbara Feldon had a wonderful on-screen chemistry and that more than anything was the reason for the shop's success.

[@FactsVerse]

Thanks for watching!

[@spencertracy2626]

Classic, Good Documentary

[@scottfox5270]

Loved all the cast and see Barbara Felton had a high heels phone in pink and how can fans of hers get one of those? Retro ( Scott Fox )

[@ThomasMcConville-x9k]

Harry Hoo, played by Joey Forman was great. Groovy Guru, played by Larry Storch was a gas, especially the kill, kill, kill... thrill, thrill, thill tune. I used to laugh my tookas off at that when he was that Kaos DJ and played that on his turntable.

[@bradsmith8977]

Hey you forgot about the movie the Nude Boom where Don Adams replayed his role as 86!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@michaelrutledge7048]

Brad Smith The Nude Bomb!!

@@michaelrutledge7048Sorry about that!!!!!!!!!

[@mikeakers3453]

Don Adams's vocal delivery in Get Smart was a very accurate imitation of William Powell's vocal delivery in the Thin Man series of the Thirties and Forties. For skeptics, if listening to both does not convince you, Don Adams stated that fact in interviews. It was part of his stand-up act, which included impressions.

[@randygagliano4929]

nothing about "The Chief" or Heimie?

[@jbrecken]

Or 13 or Larrabee

[@olsmokey]

ooooooo 13!

[@stevenvaldez3520]

I liked how Heimie always took everything so literally.

[@Filmation77]

To add a fact: The Chief's first name is Thaddeus

[@RaymondDeneault]

@@stevenvaldez3520 Like when Max said to Heimie: you knock me out ... and he did ! Sorry about that chief.

I was 9 when it came out and loved the show. 99 was my role model as she was the smart one and altho i recall her being portrayed more like an underling to Max - but clearly the brains of the duo. i had 3 brothers and a stay at home mother so it was an exciting concept for me. it was just a tv show but it gave me bigger ideas. the shoe phone was amazing to me
