Get Smart is an American comedy television series that satirizes the secret agent genre. Created by Mel Brooks with Buck Henry, the series stars Don Adams (as Maxwell Smart, Agent 86), Barbara Feldon (as Agent 99), and Edward Platt (as Chief). It was initially broadcast from September 18, 1965 to May 15, 1970, the first four seasons on NBC, and the last on CBS. Each of the five seasons has been released on DVD by HBO; also, the entire series has been released in a single box set, first by Time?Life, then by HBO. Season 1: 1965?66 Debuting on September 18, 1965, the series aired on Saturday nights following I Dream of Jeannie and opposite The Lawrence Welk Show (ABC) and The Trials of O'Brien (CBS). The season earned executive producer Leonard Stern an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Comedy Series and Don Adams for Outstanding Continued Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role in a Comedy Series. Two episodes were nominated for Primetime Emmy Awards: "Diplomat's Daughter" for Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Comedy (Paul Bogart) and "Mr. Big" for Outstanding Writing Achievement in Comedy (Buck Henry and Mel Brooks). The Pilot "Mr. Big" was the only black and white episode of Get Smart; all others were in color. We have tried to capture the best snippets from the first season, with the best Agent 86 Catchphrases and lines and funniest scenes.
50 years later and it's still as funny as day one!
Wood you believe???
@@user-ht1xu4gv2uI wood knot.
At 71, I still live every minute of my life with a crush on Barbara Feldon
I find that hard to believe.
Now you're 73. Happy Fathers day!
Me too
Agreed, but there is also Karen Allen...
She started on Laugh In
The Cone of Silence will forever be one of the funniest segments on television!
Covid - proof
I laughed when the chief asked to have the cone of silence raised, and the person who was supposed to raise it couldn't hear the chief asking to have it raised.
Say what?
Wonder how many Parents wished they had this for the back seat.

"Get Smart" was the brilliant and most hilarious t.v. series of the '60s. Don Adams and all the supporting actors' timing and delivery were brilliant. Very clever hilarity.
Brings me back into a time that I miss very much. Sorry About That Chief !
Barbara Feldon was perfect in her role.
Hiemi you knock me out ha ha
I liked her voice
99 is 90 this year 🥹
Barbara has said that those who cast her for the role were concerned that she was taller than Don Adams. They did things on the
show to make her height advantage less evident.
Uber focxxxxccc
Get Smart, one of the best comedies ever. RIP Don Adams!
I learned about Don Adams' past before he became an actor..truly amazing..Barb Feldon is 89 in 2022
Tennessee Tuxedo!
I think it's different for us, the people that grew up watching this, than people of other generations. The 60s were a special time. 95% of play time was spent outside. The other 5% was watching funny shows like Get Smart.
Those were the days: free-range childhood.
Don't romanticise the 1960s. There was a Cold War with Russian
I Dream of Jeannie, Batman, The Green Hornet and plenty of shows to have a good times...
All these and even the Flintstones started in prime time. I Columbus Ohio in the 60s we had a horror movie after school. It made it tough to decide sitting in front of the black and white TV or going outside to free range😅❤❤❤
I watched this as a young child and didn't know anything about who produced or created it. As a high schooler, I watched Young Frankenstein and fell in love with Mel Brooks' creations. Years later watching a Get Smart episode I finally saw the credits that Mel Brooks created it. My only reaction--"of course, that explains it all!"
And Buck Henry.
The show does does have Mel Brooks, his style of comedy
Edward Platt was brilliant in this series too, a great character actor. He got plenty of parts but never the recognition he deserved. So sad how he died.
When he auditioned for the role as Chief, he sang. It got him the role.
Almost 55 years later and Get Smart is still like new. The show never gets old, is still funny and is better than any show today.
Then why isn't is still on? If people would have continued to watch it, advertisers would have continued to support it, and it would exist.
@@nothankyou5524 hidden agenda of people who run entertainment
I agree with you. Great comedy and very entertaining
@@nothankyou5524 Actors are all dead. No one to film
I forward to KENYA..
Seriously, WHY DOES THIS SHOW NOT GET MORE LOVE?!?! This was a favorite of mine in middle school and it's still enjoyable today!!!!!!
Sitting here watching this and I am in tears. It's like heaven! Thanks for the laughs.
Sat nites 830pm in rec room with chips and popvorn
From "Sorry about that Chief" to "Would you Believe" I think Get Smart gave us more sayings then any other show on TV.
I still use ''missed it by that much'' to this day when a situation calls for it.
Missed it by that much! Yes!
This show never dies.
@@mediamike693 yes you are what isn't
Yes yes n yes
I think it could take Gilligan's Island in a fist fight.
Thanks to Kaos's new re-animation syrum!
❤️ get smart agent 86& agent 99
ah shit. born in 57. What fun watching this as a kid growing up, laughing with my Mom and Dad. Oh the cone of silence. God Bless Mel Brooks
Wasn't he a cowboy in blazing saddles-???🤔
Having been born in the 1960's, I am biased, but this was and still is the best TV comedy series ever made....nothing today comes close and movie remakes never captured the brilliance of the original
Mel Brooks. He's never failed
This show was outstandingly brilliant. Don Adam's was just so clever, Edward Platt, priceless, and Barbara Feldon, not only beautiful, but great comic relief as well! On top of that, the show had some of the finest writers ever seen in a sitcom! What a show!
There was "Sledge Hammer!" in the '80s. It was inspired--in part--by "Get Smart".
But are either "the best"? I don't know. I'm leaning towards "All in the Family". And maybe "M*A*S*H" as a runner up. "Beverly Hillbillies" was also one the best.
When Don Adams was approached to do this show, he was unsure about it. Then they said it was produced by Mel Brooks and Buck Henry. Without missing a beat, Don said, "I'll do it." So the legend goes.
Half the joy of this hilarious show is you can see the punchline coming from a mile away... yet somehow that makes it even funnier when it finally does arrive!
ikr
Yes u know there is a punch line coming....yet still so unexpected you just gotta laugh.....
AND... LOVING IT!!!
Great point!
I don't think it's so funny. I'm in the punchline now, and there's 23 people ahead of me in this line!
When you put three comedy geniuses (Mel Brooks, Don Adams and the dry humor of Edward Platt) to work on the same show, you can’t miss.
"You must want the spy school, that's next-door," lol
grew up on this show, an absolute pop culture icon
Oh, Barbara Feldon - what a beauty
agreed
Shes a sweetheart
She and Elizabeth Montgomery! I was in love with both of them as a kid in the '60's.
Favorite line from Get Smart:
Smart kneeling over fallen, dying agent listening to his dying words.
Agent 99 would ask, “what did he say, Max?
Max: “He told me to get my knee off his chest.”
Far better comedic writing than anything on TV today.
Agree 100%
You can say that again.
A very regurgitated answer...
@@alexkemp8074 Are you okay?
Mel Brooks at his prime is not easily surpassed
One of the greatest, iconic comedy series...ever!!
I grew up watching it.
BEST show ever....perfect cast, music, gags, everything :)
I loved this show when I was a kid...Great memories.
how old r u
@@TheKendeHD Does it matter?
It was repeated for many years anyway, I watched it as a kid in the 80s, along with the Munsters and other old shows.
@@DoubleMonoLR good to know i just wanted to know his age
Yeah I'm gen z 19 years old I love this was so good 👍👍👌👌
Ah the good old days. I still quote,, " Missed it by that much," "Why don't you ask how my holiday went?" How did your holiday go?" "Don't ask! ". "Sorry about that Chief." "Would you believe etc." and many more. I still get chuckles from the old reruns on TV today. Great comedy from a more innocent time.
...and...LOVING it!
One of my favorite sitcoms as a child.
When told that, if captured , he would be tortured to death Smart said "Well, I can stand the pain if they can stand the screaming. "
Ha. Love that man. Lol
An evergreen show !!! The reboot versions don't even come close !!! The Bumbling secret agent Maxwell Smart is a classic character !!! Don Adams was pure revelation !!!
My favourite show when I was growing up! Priceless!
I was a baby when this show premiered. Saw the re-runs in the 70's. Silly fun. Mel Brooks and Buck Henry were involved. Knew it was gonna be funny. Wish we could have this today!!!
Me, too
Let’s not forget that this great sitcom was created by Mel Brooks with Buck Henry and the hilarious cone of silence.Don Adams as agent 86 was as funny as he could be and the voices of Tennessee Tuxedo & Inspector Gadget cartoons.
Great memories. Buck Henry and Mel Brooks. Unbeatable combo.
I agree, but it was a trio, without Don Adams they would have missed it by that much!
Karl
Buck Henry was a funny man and a talented writer! Thanks for the laughs!
Ah, this takes me back to a great childhood. My kingdom for a time machine.
Yes I grew up watching this as a kid. One of the great kids shows for sure. Thanks for the memories.
I’m only 18 but my brother and I grew up watching this show as it was often on TV in the evenings. We were always excited to see what would happen in the show.
The show is also older than our parents 😳
The writers for Get Smart won many awards. This was television comedy at its very best. The cast was perfect, the plots incredibly creative, the concept and overall innuendo at times were absolutely brilliant. To me, I would put Get Smart down as one of the Top 10 influential, and painfully funny programs in American Television History. Even though I've seen every episode multiple times, its still just as funny. I did a experiment, and thanks to CZcams and the people who post these classic shows, had some kids over. They were about 12-15 and put Get Smart on the Big TV. Some of those kids had tears coming down the laughed so hard. I felt good about it because the comedy back then was so much more thought out, and the physical aspects, combined with the clasdic facial expressions had those kids in a laughing zone. It just proved that Get Smart really was a great comedy that is timeless.
Mel Brooks and Buck Henry. How can you miss?
@@oldfarmer9004 Sounds like the Chief or 86
Mel is still with us. I think he's 90 or so. I'd like to get his view on the state of comedy on television today.
To be honest, comedy...especially sitcoms are average at best. There isn't anything that moves me or makes me say, "Damn, that was good, I'm gonna check for that next week".
Then there is the one show that at its peak, was "Must See 📺"
Saturday Night Live has gone to the jungle scavengers. SNL has fallen and can't get up and its sad. Its sad because its bad. Bad week after week after week its among the worst on television. Gutfeld on FOX News gets better ratings and while no one would actually call Gutfeld a "comedian" the show does have its moments and its consistent. Having interesting guest that viewers most likely would hang around to see reaction and hear their views on the hot topics of the day and time. SNL looks like its not sure if it wants to keep pushing bad political satire with guest that don't really move the needle. After 47 years on air, its NBCs 3rd longest running show behind Sunday Mornings weekly snoozefest "Meet The Press" and 3 large cups of coffee and I still can't excited about "Today",
I'm old enough to say I remember when Saturday Night Live was on ABC and Howard Cosell was the host. Later the same year (1975) NBCs version which was at first just "Saturday Night" was worth waiting up and risk getting dealt with by my parents because a 8 yr old was supposed to be in bed with the 📺 off and counting 🐑. So I know and lived through the SNL glory years and what we see today is no where near the quality and timeless classic skits we enjoyed back then.
Today, SNL is a soft shell of what it once was, and if NBC wants to keep the show on and relevant, it may want to seriously consider cleaning house. Writers and Actors all canned and a new, fresh crew comes in and hopefully saves the show. We'll see what happens, but it must happen because it's wasting away.
An unforgettable classic !!!! Saw some of the episodes when I was a kid in Lincoln Nebraska !!!! Never forgot them !!!!
One of my favorite shows. I could never get enough of it. Either I've lost my sense of humor or TV producers just don't make shows as funny anymore.
They don't make 'em like this anymore
One of the best parts of my live, to watch Maxwell Smart on TV and just as good years later.
Yup
Amazing the number of Get Smart inventions that became real.
Don Adams was brilliant in this role. That hilariously nasally voice used ro crack me up. To this day when I hear a nasally voice like that the first thing that comes to mind is Don Adams' Agent 86. "Aha! The old (insert ruse here) trick ay?!" Love it!
I loved this show when I was 10 years old. My dad usually only liked westerns at the time but he loved the show.
Thanks for all the laughs and gags you had for generations. RIP Buck Henry
Watching this made me realize how many classic lines came from that series: "Would You Believe...? "Sorry About That Chief," "Missed it By That Much," etc. And that damn Cone of SIlence! lol
This theme song brings back sooo many good childhood memories.When I was about 13,in 2008 my local theater put on this play get smart.Kids were the cast and we had a blast.
Sort of like the episode of Green Acres when they had a play about The Beverly Hillbillies. 😆
I bet it was awesome
One of my favorites as a kid. Just classic that still brings laughs 50+ years later.
all these years later and this show's still as funny as it was when it first ran!!!Here's some funny moments from it; including from the first episode which was the only one in black-and-white.
Good comedy is ageless, new tv shows comedy I do not understand
I figured that must have been the pilot. I've never seen that one.
What a great show! "Lower the Cone of Silence."
What I always loved about the 'Cone of Silence'...when lowered, they couldn't even hear each other!
OMG This was my favorite old show of all time.... Nothing on TV today can compare to this humorist satire.
my brother when he was little, used to love the last part where the doors close one by one
Whoever invented The Cone of Silence, missed it by THAT much! LOL
The truth is, the Cone of Silence doesn't work!
what was that Chief?
I think the Cone of Silence was one of the best running gags ever. :)
The portable cone of silence worked much better.
Every time I hear about EPA's Scott Pruitt's $43K sound proof phone booth I think of the Cone of Silence! LOL
This is hilarious! I'd seen the entire show, all seasons as a little kid and don't remember half the stuff but slowly coming back. Guest appearances by Leonard Nimoy, Simon Oakland, and others i wouldn't have remembered either. I do know some of the gags were reused but never got old. When the guy said he was gonna jump out the window i immediately knew he was going to "miss it by that much"! Lol....
My dad owns the complete series. We used to watch this show all the time. My favorite episode was the one where Control and Chaos kept kidnapping their operatives until only Maxwell and Siegfried were left
David W. Smiecinski - Like on a chessboard ... 🔱
Gee whiz, Dave - you must not have been paying close attention! It's Control and KAOS! :-)
Your dad owns the complete series? He must be very wealthy with all of the money from the residuals.
I remember that episode that was extremely funny. Don Adams Bernie kopell were fantastic
It is the episode where they reveal the Chief's name. Thaddeus.
GET SMART, I grew up with this series. Love it
That show was brilliant. It could never be made in todays world. There's an old saying, "a society is in trouble when people lose the ability to laugh at themselves."
Jim Vandemoter The movie with Steve Carell was pretty good though. They definitely did a great job casting.
I'm the guy that is cheerfull and courteous to the amazon rep on the phone. Spam land-line callers are fair game.
Why could this never be made today? I don't get that. I hear that constantly people saying couldn't make it today, just sounds like people whining
@@DarksideSleemo The movie with Carell was stupid, not funny at all. And most of all, no comparison to the tv series.
Whether it could be made today or not is irrelevant. It was perfect the first time, why would you bother re-doing it?
Get Smart was a very funny and yes a "smart" television sitcom that still holds up well. It is as funny today as when it first aired! I watch it every night at 1:30am on the decades 5.5 retro tv channel here in NYC.
can't imagine the tv show is 50 years-old! I watched it before 20 years when I was a primary school kid and I remember it was dubbed into mandarin Chinese. Now I am in USA and watch it again. Time flies!!!
ohhhh...I get it......Time Fries "........like The Craw !!!!
Not Craw, Craw!
.....-Would you believe...............................??
haha same here! I think I saw it via Chinese CCTV. Love the shoe phone.
what was that Chief?
What a great team: Adams, Platt and the super lovely Barbara
this show caused me to sleep in school,i stayed up every night to watch,love it!!!
how old r u bruv
Chief " This pill will cause painless death in 20 seconds"
Max "One question"
Chief "What?"
Max " How do I get them to take it?"
LMAO!
Oh, I really love Get Smart. I watch it together with my aunt and we always pretty sure that we will go laugh so much!
The way silly of Maxwell makes the serie be really great.
Must-see after school viewing. Hilarious. My Dad, who usually preferred British comedy over American, absolutely loved Get Smart.
Love this show back in the 60’s and still love it in 2021👍
2022, too
45 years later and I just saw this was created by Mel Brooks, no wonder I always enjoyed it!
Always love the "Cone of Silence" gag!! Will never forget Hymie, and the old "would you believe" routine...Don Adams was the greatest!!! RIP.
I asked you not to tell me that!
Chief: "Hodgkins, raise the Cone of Silence."
Hodgkins: "What?"
Got to love Tennessee Tuxedo to the rescue!!! Showing my age with that reference!!! Love Don Adams!
Tennessee Tuxedo and His Tales
Hi Chumley
Have not seen this show in a very long time nice to see this classic show
Get Smart was the first show to use concept of the cell phone. Star Trek came later
Major Mel Function The show, accurately predicted that jerks would have telephones ringing at entertainment venues.
Major Mel Function ; I believe The Man From UNCLE might have done it first. I could be wrong.
Dick Tracey had a wrist phone even earlier.
Although that was just in a comic strip
I heard a retired Motorola engineer say (in a HBO Star Trek doc a few years back) that he was thinking of the Star Trek 'communicator' when he helped develop the first commercial cell phone. Of course they couldn't get the battery weight under 3 pounds in those days.
Yes but the Star Trek communicators were based on Walkie Talkie radios that the army and the police were already using. That's why police boxes disappeared in the UK in the 1960s, because our police started using Walkie Talkies instead. So Star Trek DIDN'T predict mobile phones as they keep trying to make out. They were based on existing technology. That was a standard idea in science fiction in those days. In the 1950s Movie Forbidden Planet they communicated with radios. When Star Trek did it, it was already an old idea. It really annoys me when people connected with Star Trek are so arrogant about predicting mobile phones and everything else, when they didn't. Almost everything that was done in Star Trek was done elsewhere first. Now I'll get all the sad trekkies jumping down my throat because of what I've said.
This show has me cracking up! Even the opening credits with the multiple doors to headquarters was pretty cool. I need this hallway to get to my office.
One of the greatest shows EVER!
I remember this when I was kid. It’s still good. That humour never dies.
Just watched all Get Smart S1 episodes on dvd ... 50 years on it's still hilarious! :D
I'm 25 but when I was in my teens, I got the complete seasons on DVD on christmas and by january 4th on my birthday I had watched them all twice XD
@Sunny Ah Day I totally agree. Get Smart and F-Troop were two of my top favorites also, and Captain Parminter reminded me so much of Max (with his slapstick fumbling ways) both he and the Hekowe indians killed us with laughter! And I just loved the nonsensical ancient old Hekawe sayings, but so much funnier when spoken directly in context by Frank DeKova (with inflections) and seeing the episodes where they were used, lol. I also loved the story about how the Hekowe's got their name... Sadly, they just don't make shows like this anymore!
"Sparrow fly high, but cannot build dam with tail of beaver."
"Bark of tree never bitter to hungry squirrel."
"You always have empty teepee, when frost on buffalo nose."
"When field mouse see shadow, time to string beads."
"You show me squirrel with acorn, and I show you happy moose."
"When thorn of blackberry grow on rock, bull frog sing like crow in winter."
"You show me raccoon with nose in mud, and I show you squirrel with nut in tree."
Get Smart was the best and ahead of their time!
This is the chief, who else would be calling you on your shoe xD
I remember watching Get Smart as a boy while eating spaghetti and meatballs. What great times!
Luis Donado: An excellent combination, in my opinion.
Hilarious show, loved it. I love the cone of silence ! TV nowadays leaves me with not much to laugh about. Alot to be sad about.
In 2023, a lot of violence and negativity. I rarely watch TV anymore.
Thanks for reminding me of so many belly-laugh moments. I think this show was definitely ahead of it's time, certainly in terms of scripts. Excellent cast also.
With all due respect to series costar Barbara Feldon, I think that her character, Agent 99, was little more than a 'piece of furniture'.
Chief: " The pins show a concentration of enemy agents".
Max: What is this pin in Manetoba? (pulls it out).
Chief:" You idiot, that was holding up the map!"
Max:
“Did you get that Max?”
“Not quite Chief.”
“Which part didn’t you get Max?”
“The part right after you said - listen carefully ....”
My favorite quote ever 😂😂😂😂😂
I think the "...missed it by that much..." is far more iconic...
That's the second-best quote I have ever seen!
“Did you get that Max?”
“Not quite Chief.”
“Which part didn’t you get Max?”
“The part right after you said - listen carefully ....”
@@MrMenefrego1 ?
Funnie. Max is hilarious.
Loved Max's female neighbor. Perfect casting, so funny!!
4:10 Not only is the "phone" really a cigarette lighter, the "cigarette lighter", as it appears to be, is what conceals the actual phone! 6:25 The entire park bench scene is gold. Also in season 1:
* In the pilot, Smart confronts Kaos's Mr. Big: "So you're Mr. Big", who replies, "So you're Mr. Smart", after which a wide shot revealing that "Mr. Big" is dwarf Michael Dunn hints that _neither_ of them is really what their name says they are!
* When "the Craw" (er, I mean "the Craw") has Smart by the hand, he tells his henchman, Bobo, "Apply the bamboo-under-the-fingernails torture". A moment later he shrieks, "Not on ME, you fool!!"
* The portable Cone of Silence!
Nothing's better than that unique Mel Brooks humor. This is fun stuff.
Tom Poston who would later play George Utley in Newhart was considered for the role of Maxwell Smart but because the network already had Don Adams under contract, they decided to give him the role instead. Also Don Adams may have been the first television actor to work for less money up front in exchange for residuals later on when the series went into syndication. In the 50s and 60s, most television contracts did not have a residuals clause. The only actors to receive any were those that owned part of the rights to a series like Buddy Ebsen did with The Beverly Hillbillies or if their names were uses in the titles like the Dick Van Dyke Show. Everyone else got nothing. But Adams changed all that and he would later say that it was the smartest decision he ever made because when Get Smart went off the air in 1970, it became one of the most syndicated television series in TV history which made him independently wealthy. He forever changed Hollywood.
Mel Brooks and Buck Henry. Genius.
A young Nimoy at 9:08. I think he was working as "Mr. Spoc" at the same time he made this guest appearance. "Ah yes, the old ? trick". Still a favorite line from Max for me 50 years later!
I noticed him too! But I had to scroll down all this way to make sure someone else noticed him as well :)
This was so much fun to watch as a child, and now again over 50 years later, along with the Beverley Hillbillies, Gilligan's Island, Bewitched and other similar shows. Nothing comes close to them these days, such a pity.
Don't forget The Munsters
The best thing to watch on this cold winter night dec 22 2020
Chief was perfect for this role
mH86... Chief was always perfect, too bad he had a coronary and died. Lovely man, great singer, father figure. I really miss him.
Yes. Shame.
@@lorenzomagazzeni5425 he didn't stick around after the show finished its original run.
@@lorenzomagazzeni5425 Sadly, the "coronary" death was a fabrication. Platt was in the throes of depression and financial worries and commited suicide.
www.wouldyoubelieve.com/platt.html
Yeah I wonder how much the Pink Panther duo of Peter Sellers and Herbert Lom borrowed the chemistry of Max & Chief ?
I have the entire series. Of Get Smart.
They are excellent. 😆
Loved this show growing up and I still find it very funny
I remember watching this show when I was 12/13. It was my favorite show and I never missed it.
One of the funniest shows in the history of television IMO.
Don Adams was the perfect actor to play Maxwell Smart.
Qué hermoso recuerdo! de lo mejor que dejó mi infancia! ,desde Argentina, un reconocimiento a todos los comediantes y actores que nos regalaron alegría y carcajadas a más no poder, Thank you for sharing this fabulous memory !
Man, how I love all this.
Thank you for sharing.
That tiny phone within a phone🤣...too funny!
I loved this show as a kid. I have the whole 5 seasons on DVD.
I love it! Useless trivia for the day: Barbara Feldman once won the 64,000 Dollar Question. By answering questions about Shakespeare. Really...
she also knew my former neighbor who was a model back in the day. :)
WOW with shakespeare, thats awesome, i would love to talk to her about him what he was like did they like do it. he wrote McBeth with that Mel Gibson guy all painted blue and stuff till they pull him apart and pulled out everything inside he loved her.
Who is Barbara Feldman and, how does she enter into this dialogue? Dick Gauthier, also, might ask.
Feldon, not feldman
@Oona Craig You're a bigoted asswipe
Thank you for your service, Angel Don Adams
