What a classic!- GET SMART THE SERIES REACTION

[@Scottie_S]

The chemistry between Bernie Koppell and Don Adams was wonderful! All their little interactions gave the show another level of wonderful!

[@wcwchris]

A woman that loves Get Smart is one that is after my heart. :) Grew up watching it on Nick @ Nite and loved it so much that when it was released on dvd, I bought the entire series.

[@cyborgcable]

Thank youuuu!!!! Sorry for requesting Get Smart so much, i just love the show haha 😝

[@ericjanssen394]

Most don’t know (unless they watch old variety shows from the 60’s, like Carol Burnett 😁) that Don Adams’ nasally trademark “Sorry about that!” Maxwell Smart/Inspector Gadget voice actually came from his nightclub-comic routine, where he did his impression of William Powell from the “Thin Man” mysteries.

[@pauld6967]

Every once in a blue moon something will happen at the office that gives me the opportunity to break the tension with "Zis is KAOS! Ve do not 'shush' here!" or other lines from the show. I was a little surprised you didn't have the classic bit of The Claw correcting Maxwell's pronunciation of his name: "No, not Craw! Craw!"

[@arconeagain]

Get Smart was ground breaking. There was nothing like it on TV with that type of humour. It's so wacky at times, I'm amazed they got a deal in those days. That's Mel Brooks for ya.

[@EPShockley]

So wonderful to see someone so young enjoying the classic stuff! Especially, “Get Smart”! (Especially my favorite episode, “One of Our Olives is Missing”! Gotta love Carol Burnett in this one!) Have you ever watched/reacted to, “The Munsters”? “Gilligan’s Island”? “F-Troop”? Also… How about, “Get Smart Again”? TV reunion flick with the surviving main cast, done in the late ‘80’s! Would you believe it’s an absolute masterpiece? How about the greatest TV reunion flick ever? How about a lot of fun, & nostalgia! Hope you get to check em all out! Best regards! 😁😆😀

[@unkown34x33]

I watched the movie remake that came out in 2008, I died of laughter! So I did a little search, and I finally found out that this was the original series hahahaha I love it

[@cessnaace]

In the 70s Mel Brooks co-created another TV series, "When Things Were Rotten." It was a parody of the Robin Hood legend. Bernie Kopell played Alan-O-Dale, The actor who played the robot Hymie on "Get Smart" played Robin Hood. 18 years later Brooks would have another go with Robin Hood with the film "Robin Hood: Men in Tights."

[@chrispittman8854]

One of the first series I remember watching along with "Batman," Green Hornet" and "Lost in Space." I was a toddler and I'd crack my family up by acting out the opening closing doors every episode.

_I Dream of Jeannie_ .

[@chrispittman8854]

@ "Bewitched" with the space program. LOL! Did you ever notice "Dr. Bellows' house was the same as "Darren" and "Sam's?"

[@zaniq23]

As a kid it would blow my mind that Siegfried and the Doc from Love Boat were the same actor.

[@3XLDave]

In 1998 or '99 (hmm, surely must have been '99), some cable channel had a round-the-clock Get Smart marathon one weekend, and I spent that whole weekend on the couch watching this and drifting in and out of sleep. And loving it!! One of the best weekends of my life.

[@Britcarjunkie]

They used several cars in this series: In the opening scenes, you had a Sunbeam Tiger (red), a Volkswagen Karmann Ghia convertible (blue), and a Opel GT (gold). However, there were a few others: a Shelby GT500 KR convertible was used in one or two eposides (red/white), as well as a Porsche 914/6 (dark blue - and you only caught the side of it through an open door). My favorite episodes: the one featuring Larry Storch as the Kaos killer, the Groovy Guru, the episode with Don Rickles, the episode that was a ripoff of the rival series "I-Spy" (which, if you haven't seen that series, you MUST!!!), and several of the episodes with Sigfried: one in which he operated a P.O.W. camp for captured Control agents, another where he had an island in the South Pacific, and was going to hijack Naval ships with a giant electro-magnet, and another where he was using a WW-1 Fokker bi-plane as a crop duster, to destroy our food supply. Hilarious.

[@jean-paulaudette9246]

My favorite film with Carol Burnett is "Noises Off" (1992), with a wonderful comedic ensemble cast.

[@Paul_Plays_Games]

Hello Kay / Agent 99 this show was also popular all over the planet including Australia 🇦🇺 It was repeated for at least 40 or more years on commercial TV 📺 here , here is a fun fact the American Spy agencies actually put the show on special watch ⌚ because of All the spy 🕵️‍♀️ 🕵️‍♂️ gadgets , Oh and 1 more fun fact in high school we put on a theatrical play Called the Nude Bomb 💣 I was Kaos agent 3 I only had a few lines " Kill him " " He's over there " and " " Ahhh ! " . I dressed in all black with a black beret and a red neckerchief , anyway Kay you 🪨 🎸 🤘

[@Scottie_S]

It was wonderful to see Carol and the rest of the guys play this episode out like a sketch from her show. When I was a young kid, there was the Carol Burnett Show and the Danny Kaye Show. My Dad and I watched both of them of an evening. It was such a great time full of laughter after dinner. If you have a moment, watch some of Danny Kaye's movies. I recommend the 'Court Jester'. Classic lines that still resonate to this day.

[@Scottie_S]

@@sturat5166 oh thanks! I'll have to go check it out.

[@cliffchristie5865]

By the way, Siegfried's henchman was played by King Moody who, besides this recurring role, also played Ronald McDonald from 1969-1985.

[@Caseytify]

Loved the shoe phone, and "Missed it by _that_ much!!" LOL.

[@WoncoTheSane]

This show and "The Monkey's" TV show used to be on as reruns all the time in my grandma's little Indiana town in the late 70's and early 80's. Just took me on a summer vacation/thanksgiving holiday ride down memory lane with this classic TV review... THANK YOU! Great reaction as always.

[@ericjanssen394]

Gerald Gardner & Dee Caruso used to write for both shows, so it's no coincidence that both series had a Chinese villain known as the Claw: "Not the 'Craw', the CRAW!!"

[@joemachine4714]

The Olive episode featured Carole Burnett who later had her own variety show "The Carole Burnett Show". You'd love her many skits of "Eunice, Ed and Mama" they are so hilarious!! It eventually became a spinoff called "Mama's Family" but i love the originals best.

[@psparks3419]

Kay, you chose some very funny episodes. You caught me off guard with the "Siegfried face" imitation! Totally cracked me up. What you do matters. It brings some cheer into this world. Thanks!

[@SJHFoto]

The one recurring quote that wasn't included that was a favourite of mine was "missed it by that much"

[@turbolid]

Dom Adams gave life to the two most clumsy secret agents we adore: Maxwell Smart and Inspector Gadget.

[@thomastimlin1724]

And Tennessee Tuxedo lol

[@jimspetdragons3737]

Loved this growing up along w/ Hogan's Heroes. Very absurd comedies. Redefines the word Personification.

[@ericjanssen394]

Bob "Col. Hogan" Crane started out as a jazz drummer, and at one point, his band did a cover album of popular TV themes, including...the cool Get Smart theme: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hqLbnoKEfKuVj9k

[@jimspetdragons3737]

@@ericjanssen394 I knew he was a drummer, but did not know he did those covers you mentioned.

[@JEFFYjackass]

Maxwell Smart voice sounds so familiar. He played Brain the dog in Inspector Gadget movie!!!!

[@traviswall1982]

"Schtaker. WE DON'T DOOT DOOT DOOT HERE!"

[@janedoe5229]

99 always has the coolest clothes and earrings.

[@tonyharmon8512]

The red car is a Sunbeam Tiger. It had a Ford 289 V8 engine the same as the original AC Cobras Carroll Shelby built. They were fast little buggers and really fun to drive.

[@greeneyesinfl9954]

I love this show!! Great review!!😊🙏♥️ Don Adams is also known for his cartoon voice work, most notably Inspector Gadget and Tennessee Tuxedo.

_Get Smart_ always is gold. Lol, this is the first time I watch this show in English and with their real voices. I enjoyed this show in the late '70s dubbed in Spanish.

[@christianhardtofind6349]

Barbara Feldon is still living. She just has to make it another 10 years till she turns 99!

[@deboraharroyo3047]

A great classic, I always enjoyed the show especially later when max married 99.

[@joemachine4714]

i believe the guy who plays KAOS chief later played "Doc" in the 70s "Love Boat".

[@SJHFoto]

I watched this show in high school too! But that was quite some time before you I imagine (I watched it on "Nick at Night" in the early 90s)

[@mwflanagan1]

What a fun excursion into silliness! Thanks, Kay. More episodes would be enjoyable, as well. Have you thought of reacting to the tv series “That Girl”? It has tons of great old hairstyles, clothing, and gloves to match your outfit.

[@myversionofstuff]

Your laugh is great . That was a great show too ! thanks !

[@jamesstarkey8770]

Love this show. My dad watched it with his dad in the 60s and I watched it with him on nick at night in the 90s

[@brocknokli7145]

99 (about KAOS) : Sometimes I wonder if we're any differnt. Max: What are you talking about 99? We HAVE to kill, murder,torture & destroy. We stand for everything good & wholesome in th world.

[@chrismetafora6565]

Oh Don Adams went on to voice Inspector Gadget in the animated series.

[@traviswall1982]

I was looking at the recommendations on the side, and noticed you watch "Tower Heist" and made me think of "M*A*S*H" with Alan Alda. Thought it would be interesting to watch an episode or two. "So Long and Farewell".

[@brettharlow7010]

You have great taste in old tv shows.

[@jrobwoo688]

Would you believe I actually love this show? Please react to Clerks, a black and white comedy from 1994.

[@brom00]

One of my faves as a kid back in the 60's. Along with Batman and Star Trek. The only thing that grinds my gears from those shows from back then are those awful laugh tracks.. I guess we were too clueless to know what was funny.

[@kayreacts4763]

As irritating as laugh tracks are, I always thought the older laugh tracks were less annoying than modern laugh tracks. They’re less over-the-top and just kind of… there.

[@awall1701]

Loved this show, watched the reruns back in the 80s in the UK. So pleased you are reacting to this show.

[@michaelpalmer7954]

Thanks for the memories. I don't remember Carol Burnett being in an episode. Classic stuff. There will always be evil and good in the world until Jesus Christ returns. Until then... "How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him. 39 And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree: 40 Him God raised up the third day, and shewed him openly; 41 Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before of God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from the dead. 42 And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead. 43 To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins." Acts 10:38-43. Peace...

[@MidnightTokenFloydChatAccount]

Mel brooks at one point said that someone from FBI and would call them during the shows initial run and inquire bout how they were getting some of there ideas for the show because they were getting a little to close to home on some of the ideas

[@picolo4102]

A Mel Brooks creation

[@alberte.mcdowell3]

Yeah I never liked the movie Get Smart (2008) because I thought it was an down grade from the show. The 1960s had a lot of great shows because the studios took advantage of the comedy, spy, drama and the coloration. There was this Batman, Star Trek, Green Hornet, and Gilligan's Island.

[@kevinfernando3167]

You should react to the 2008 adaptation film Get Smart with Steve carrel next!!

[@joemachine4714]

as a kid i had the hots for '99' ::sigh:: ☺️

[@TearyEyesAnderson]

I always enjoyed Get Smart, its UK comicstrip, the comic book series, and even the 9 William Johnston tie-in novels from the 1960's. 'The Nude Bomb' film, 'Get Smart Again', and the 1995 revival show were also okay, but I didn't like the 2008 Steve Carell film, or its spin off "Get Smart's Bruce and Lloyd". Although I did like Steve Carell in the "Despicable Me"/Minions movies. Just like I liked Don Adams in "Inspector Gadget", I like to think that after a failed mission Max gets blown to bits and becomes "Inspector Gadget", and it is the same Chief that he gets to torment. After hearing the song "99 Ways {To make you my man}" by Jane Wiedlin, I've always thought of that as 99's and Max's relationship. I even made a mash-up video of the song and clips from the series. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fKa9knWZa8aJm9E This isn't the original version I made, but a reupload with proper credits, that someone else added. My version got deleted, and that channel got deleted for using the song.

[@LLentium]

Max single-handedly won us the cold war.

[@GregInHouston2]

You didn't get the best one of fall; The Amazing Harry Hoo.

[@MacAisling]

I haven’t seen this show since the late ‘70’s, early ‘80’s. So you’re familiar with Get Smart, but have you seen Lancelot Link?

[@theirishhero81]

@KayReacts Could you react to more Get Smarts please?

[@notsureyou]

You were in high school during the 60's 😲 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@kayreacts4763]

Wouldn’t that be something? Lol I DID have DVDs of the episodes that came in this really cool box where you had to open a bunch of doors to get to them

ever see the Get Smart movies / TV movies? and the next gen series pilot? films I would put this under Mel Brooks, Spy films or TV shows or screwball comedies maybe under don adams

[@troymurrell2509]

the guy that played the chief killed himself

[@troymurrell2509]

fun fact the cia and the fbi contacted the show to see how they made all the gadgets and if they could be made for real.

What do you think of the Steve Carell movie?

Wait, what? You used to watch this when you were in high school? You look damn good for someone that has to be 70+
