I grew up on Get Smart. As soon as I heard the theme song on the TV I would drop everything and run into the living room because I loved the intro so much.

Thanks for uploading the different variations of the iconic TV intro. I used to watch the reruns with my mom and dad as a kid in the 70's and teenager in the early 80's, definitely one of the funniest TV show's from the 1960's during the whole secret spy infatuation era. No wonder it was so funny I didn't even realize Mel Brooks had a hand in it lol.

Where I worked, there were a series of double doors you had to go through to get inside... After the second one I'd start humming this tune and all the older people would start laughing and the younger ones would look like deer caught in the headlights... Some get it, some don't.

The creator of the opening, Leonard Stern, says he thought they would have to cut a hole in the floor and have an expensive contraption for Don Adams to drop while in the phone box. Don actually simply went down on his knees. I always thought he went threw the floor but knowing the above, I can see him clearly kneeling down in all the openings, except obviously, the last one.

@shoknifeman2mikado1352 жыл бұрын
In my head, his Tiger was in the shop that day and he borrowed 99s Ghia ... in reality, they had just made a deal to replace Chrysler as the supplier of cars to the show, with VW and thus, he drove one, but, only in the opening credits.

Like others commenting here, I never saw that b&w intro when he did a U turn at the beginning. At the time I was very amused that what looked like a row of jailhouse-type vertical bars was actually a solid door. I also thought it was very clever that the onscreen titles retreated and then got covered up by the closing doors.

Buick was the sponsor of the show, so they had to show a car. Because they couldn't use a Regal, or a Kadett, and the GS's had ceased production, the Opel, was the only secret agent looking car. Was long before Scarecrow and Mrs. King.

Once you hear Stern explaining how he didn't get the elevator scene to work like he imagined it, it's hard not to see it in all these openings. He thought it would have been more funny if the elevator dial had counted down and then the door opened to reveal stairs.

The first two seasons of "Get Smart" (1965-66 and 1966-67 TV Seasons) were filmed at Paramount Studios. The exteriors have the look, feel and vibe of, if not D.C., then, at least, NYC. For whatever reason, perhaps due to Lucille Ball selling Desilu Studios to Paramount in 1967, the exteriors for the last three seasons (the 1967-68 TV Season to the 1969-70 TV Season) were filmed on a bland generic suburban-looking set at an unknown studio. These exterior sets lacked the look, feel and vibe of both D.C. and NYC and their respective suburbs that the first two seasons had. This was why the opening credits were changed for the third and fourth seasons, as well as the fifth season. The exterior opening for the first two seasons were filmed at Paramount Studios. However, the building used for the C.O.N.T.R.O.L. headquarters exterior for the third and fourth seasons opening and the one used for the fifth season opening do retain that D.C. look, feel and vibe.
