Get Smart (Intro) S3 (1967)

[@jacobbahr9316]

There is a building at my university with so many doors in its hallway, and I feel exactly like this when I go there

[@chiaralavagnini4122]

[@ttintagel]

I used to work in a university building that was the same way! It had been two buildings that were connected and then later additions were made, and different parts of it adapted to different uses over the years, and some mornings I would get this theme song stuck in my head on the way to my office.

[@morefiction3264]

Best opening sequence in the history of television.

I loved this show when I was growing up and it is still my favorite show today. R.I.P Buck Henry

[@bobdinitto]

Mel Brooks & company combined slapstick comedy, social commentary, and dark cold war humor to create one of the funniest shows on TV in its day. Don Adams performed brilliantly as the dim witted, accident prone secret agent, with Barbara Feldon equally talented as Adams' straight man, sidekick, and love interest. The show has remained relevant despite its age as the jokes are still funny and we're back in the cold war.

[@smwca123]

And Edward Platt as their long-suffering Chief.

[@МихалКомаровский]

Любил этот сериал в детстве, и да ,он актуален до сих пор. 👍

[@inversion66]

The irony being that Don Adams was apparently pretty damn tough in WW2. Joined the Marines, was a crack shot, fought at Guadalcanal, survived an infection that killed 90 percent of the people who caught it, and became a drill instructor after he recovered. Mel Brooks was no slouch either, serving as a US Army forward artillery observer and combat engineer during the last months of the war. In the latter role he helped find mines and boobytraps for later disarming.

[@sirdouglas6859]

This introduction holds up as a work of art in-and-of itself. The 1960's gave us the best television intros (and best theme music) of all-time. Check out the opening titles for "The Monkees", "The Prisoner" and "The Mod Squad" sometime... they're all lovely little gems.

I drove a Karmann Ghia for several years, proud of the Get Smart connection. VW tech in the era had lots of "gadgets" built into the car. The windshield sprayer worked from pressure coming off the spare. Setting the top was a matter of pulling it forwards from the back and latching at the door posts and could do in seconds. Many non-VW drivers had an impossible time putting that transmission into reverse - definitely had a secret agent sportscar look to it - fun to drive and handled really well great "sports car."

[@Davett53]

I loved this show when I was 14 in 1967 and beyond. I used imagine/day dream I was Maxwell, if I were entering a building and had to walk down a long hall, then through 2 sets of double doors to pass through, and then a small 4 person elevator, up to the floor where I had an appointment. Also at the time I was future planning what kind of car I would drive, when I was old enough. The VW Karmann Ghia, would have been my dream car. I was 17 when I finally went car hunting, and I did test drive a couple VW Beetles, and a really early imported Honda 600. The Honda 600, was a sub-compact. A very tiny 2 seater, which was dwarfed by any standard VW Beetle. In the end I found a (very groovy), 1970 Opel Kadett. That one came as a "fastback", and should not to be confused with the very sporty Opel GT, which resembled a pint-sized Corvette.

[@bcstan23]

Loved the blue car intros!

This is one of those themes that, if you're a child of the times like I was, is instantly recognizable from the very first note. I used to watch this religiously when I was a kid in the 60s.

[@danfreiday8390]

I had forgotten this intro, I moved in to a down stairs apartment at a friend's house, I have a rolling gate for the driveway, it's like, pull up to the gate, get out of my truck, open the gate, get back in my truck, drive thru and park, go thru the back screen door, the main door, thru the laundry room, then the downstairs door, and 14 stairs, and viola, I'm home, and that's like 3 or 4 times a day, but I'm not complaining, it's a nice place, and the rent is very reasonable,

[@jnadle1]

I do know the rhythm section had Tommy Tedesco and Howard Roberts on guitars and Carol Kaye on bass, but was that drummer Earl Palmer? It sure sounds like him. I believe Tommy was the one with the spy guitar twang in the background.

Don’t leave us hanging: what was the concept?

[@charliemanthedog107]

@@HugoToledo Well, it's been a little while, and I apparently cannot find it in my notes. But basically, I think he was talking about the barriers to widespread adoption of agroforestry in the U.S... regulatory barriers, cultural beliefs, a system that favors commodity crops, lack of research funding, lack of public understanding... and so forth. Still though... agroforestry to me is a way to combine food, fiber, and even biofuel production with ecological stewardship. This is something that we need to thrive, and possibly, survive as a species. I'm all about it... ecological agriculture... a force that unites us. Bring us back to nature, and to each other. So yeah, agroecology. Figuring out how to do this on a large scale in our modern world, and confronting ourselves and the systems we've built as humankind... these are some of the challenges to realizing a bold and holistic, widespread agro-ecological system. Yet, what a goal to propose, to work toward, to guide us in our actions and our work. And those who have been practicing these more holistic and natural ways for centuries or millennia... the opportunity to learn from them, work with them, improving upon traditional ways while moving away from an input-heavy monoculture-based "industrial" system in the "modern" world. I'm all about this, yet to get there, or even to get this into the general consciousness of the public... challenges... But what a goal! Thanks for reading this. BTW great playlists... I subbed!

I cant believe that for season 3 they switched to a Volkswagen Karmann Ghia. While that's a fine looking little sports car, it is still essentially a Bug with better styling. Hardly the vehicle for a secret agent. His original 1965 Sunbeam Tiger is a far superior car. It may not look as "stylish" as the Karmann Ghia but its high-performance V8 engine more than makes up for its basic styling.
