Premise

The series centered on bungling secret agent Maxwell Smart (Don Adams), also known as Agent 86. Don Adams (born Donald James Yarmy; April 13 1923 &ndash September 25 2005 was an American Actor, Comedian, Game show His partner is Agent 99 (Barbara Feldon), whose real name is never revealed. Barbara Feldon (born Barbara Hall on March 12, 1932 in Bethel Park Pennsylvania) is an American actress, Game show [2] Smart and 99 work for CONTROL, a secret U. S. government spy agency based in Washington, D.C. (at 123 Main Street). Washington DC ( formally the District of Columbia and commonly referred to as Washington, the District, or simply D The pair investigate and thwart various threats to the world, though Smart's incompetence invariably causes complications. However, Smart never fails to save the day, typically thanks to his own dumb luck and 99's skill. Looking on is the long-suffering head of CONTROL, who is always addressed simply as "Chief" played by Edward Platt. Edward C Platt ( February 14, 1916 – March 19, 1974) was an American character Actor best known for his portrayal of "

The nemesis of CONTROL is KAOS (pronounced chaos), an equally inept spy agency from an unnamed though apparently Eastern bloc nation. During the Cold War, the term Communist Bloc (or Soviet Bloc) was used to refer to the Soviet Union and countries it either controlled or that were Despite being capitalized, CONTROL and KAOS are not acronyms and do not stand for anything. [3]

Characters

Maxwell Smart or Agent 86 is the central character in the series. Despite being a top secret government agent, he is actually awkward, clumsy, and not very bright. He does, however display considerable prowess in hand to hand combat. His cover is a greeting card salesman but he seldom manages to maintain secrecy about his real work. A greeting card is an illustrated folded card featuring an expression of friendship or other sentiment Due to multiple assassination attempts, he told his landlord he was in insurance.

Agent 99 - A tall and attractive female agent whose appearance becomes useful in many undercover operations. Generally Agent 99 is more competent than Maxwell Smart, but Max saves her life in several episodes. Together they provide a perfect team both to battle KAOS and provide comical situations on-screen. Smart and 99 are married in Season 4 and have twins in Season 5. Agent 99's real name is never revealed. In the episode "99 Loses CONTROL," she says that her name is Susan Hilton, but at the end of the episode she tells Max that in fact "Susan" isn't her real name.

The Chief - The chief of CONTROL is intelligent, serious and sensible. He began his career at CONTROL as Agent Q. He is supportive to Agents 86 and 99, however he is frequently frustrated with Max due to his frequent failures and foul-ups. Unlike Agent 99, Chief is revealed to have a first name--Thaddeus--on a few occasions. His cover identity is Harold Clark, Max's boss at the greeting card company. Another time, when KAOS tricked the Chief into being recalled to active duty in the US Navy (as a common seaman and Smart as his C. O. !), his official name is John Doe. The Name " John Doe " is used as a Placeholder name for a male party in a legal action case or discussion whose true identity is either unknown or

Siegfried - Conrad Siegfried is a recurring villain and the Vice President of KAOS. He is Maxwell Smart's "opposite number" and nemesis at KAOS, although the two characters share similar traits and often speak fondly of one another, even in the midst of attempting to assassinate each other.

Other characters included Hymie the Robot (Dick Gautier), a powerful android (built originally by KAOS but reprogrammed to work for CONTROL), who tends to take orders too literally; Agent 13 (Dave Ketchum), who is always being stationed inside weird, unlikely places, such as mailboxes, washing machines, lockers, and other objects; Agent 44 (Victor French), who regularly suffers the same fate as Agent 13; the Chief's slow-witted assistant Agent Larabee (Robert Karvelas); Siegfried's chief henchman Shtarker (King Moody); and Fang (Agent K-13), a poorly-trained CONTROL dog. Hymie the Robot is a Fictional Robot from the 1960 's spy-spoof television series Get Smart, portrayed by Richard Gautier Richard "Dick" Gautier (born October 30, 1931 in Los Angeles California) is an Actor An android is a Robot designed to resemble a human usually both in appearance and behavior Victor French ( December 4, 1934 - June 15, 1989) was an American actor and director Robert Karvelas (April 3 1921 &ndash December 5 1991 was an American actor who was notable for his role as the Chief's dense assistant Larrabee Robert "King" Moody ( 6 December 1929 - 7 February 2001) was an American actor best known for playing Ronald McDonald

Pilot episode

Filmed and presented in black and white, the first episode has Max leaving a show and across the road walking down some outside stairs and then the title sequence begins with Max going through several steel doors and finally into a phone booth; after picking up the phone, dialing, then hanging up, an ultra-fast elevator drops Smart off camera, presumably depositing him at CONTROL's underground headquarters. In following episodes, he would go through the doors of a building to enter CONTROL HQ. He has not been to CONTROL HQ (which is situated in Washington DC and was set up in 1957) for a while and meets the Chief again. The Cone of Silence (a worthless invention where nothing can be heard outside as well as inside) is shown. The Cone of Silence is one of many recurring Joke devices from Get Smart, an American Comedy Sent on a mission to stop KAOS, which is back in business after a long break, Max meets 99 for the first time; Fang (Agent K-13) the dog also makes an appearance. In this episode, Max removes the whole sole of his shoe to use it as a telephone to call the Chief instead of later episodes just swivelling the heel.

Gadgets

Perhaps the most recognizable 'gag' from the show was Smart's shoe phone, which has become somewhat of a comic icon. (The idea was devised by Mel Brooks. ) Smart would communicate with CONTROL using a rotary-dialed telephone concealed in his shoe, similar to a modern cell phone. While such a device was decades ahead of its time in real life (see Sneaker Phone), its numerous design flaws--such as the loud bell ("Excuse me, I think your shoe is ringing!"), the need to take off his shoe to use it and that it required a dime to place a call--led to various humorously awkward situations. The Sneaker Phone was popularized in the early 1990s through a Sports Illustrated promotion This was possibly a parody of The Man from U.N.C.L.E. wherein the agents's communicators made a loud sound but only they ever seemed to hear it. The Man from UNCLE is an American television series that was broadcast on NBC from September 22, 1964, to January

Communication contraptions on the show were not limited to footwear: The second episode had Max using a watch; in one episode, Max has phones concealed in his necktie, his belt, and his handkerchief; and another episode had the Chief using the hour and minute hands of a clock (detached from the clock face) to communicate. Max once used a 'Bunsen burner phone' with the flame as the microphone: he had to put "Code P" into effect, and the device repeatedly disconnected when Max's plosive "P"s blew the burner's flame out. A stop, plosive, or occlusive is a Consonant sound produced by stopping the airflow in the Vocal tract. Another example was the 'gun phone,' which resulted in the line, "I'll call you back; I think I'm gonna have to fire my phone. " Also, the CONTROL hotline was once discovered to be a log in Max's fireplace; and a hotline to the Chief's office from the CONTROL lab was a set of beakers designed to look like they contained fluid when in reality, they did not. The running gag was that new phones repeatedly popped up in new hidden places throughout the run of the show (including one concealed in a jacket).

The shoe phone, along with the radio-in-a-pen from The Man from U.N.C.L.E. and real world code-breaking devices and other items, were on display at the Reagan Library's "Spies: Secrets from the CIA, KGB and Hollywood" exhibit from February 17 to July 14, 2002. The Man from UNCLE is an American television series that was broadcast on NBC from September 22, 1964, to January The Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Center for Public Affairs is the Presidential library of Ronald Wilson Reagan, the 40th President of the United States Events 1500 - Battle of Hemmingstedt. 1600 - Philosopher Giordano Bruno is burned alive at Campo de' Fiori Events 1223 - Louis VIII becomes King of France upon the death of his father Philip II of France. See also 2002 (disambiguation Year 2002 ( MMII) was a Common year starting on Tuesday of the Gregorian calendar.

Another of the show's recurring gags was the Cone of Silence. The Cone of Silence is one of many recurring Joke devices from Get Smart, an American Comedy (Buck Henry "invented" this device. ) Smart would pedantically insist on following CONTROL's security protocols; when in the Chief's office he would insist on speaking under the Cone of Silence--two transparent plastic hemispheres which were electrically lowered on top of Smart and the Chief--which invariably malfunctioned, requiring the characters to shout loudly to even have a chance of being understood by each other, and even then, most of the time that failed. In one episode, the device worked so badly that an outside observer, who could hear everything spoken inside, had to relay messages to the people inside because they could not even hear each other. In one episode, the Chief and Smart were shouting at each other so loud under the Cone of Silence, that Larabee (the Chief's Assistant) could hear them from the other room, and had to come in to tell them what each other was saying. At other times, the Cone of Silence would malfunction while being lowered and fail to stop at the proper desk level; the device would then repeatedly crush down onto Agent 86 and the Chief, resulting in loud anguished screams. The Cone actually worked as intended once. However, at the end of the conversation, the Cone malfunctioned leaving the Chief trapped within, with silent screams of frustration as Agent 86 walked away. The 1989 reunion movie Get Smart, Again! revealed that Max and 99 had purchased a surplus Cone and placed it over their bed--it was just as reliable as any other Cone Of Silence, which is to say, not at all. Get Smart Again! is a made-for-TV movie based on the 1965-1970 NBC / CBS Television series, Get Smart !, which originally

Catch phrases

As the character Maxwell Smart, Don Adams created many catch phrases that were popular then, some of which are still used today, including:

- "Sorry about that, [Chief]. A catch phrase (or catchphrase) is a phrase or expression recognized by its repeated utterance "

- "Missed it by that much. " (showing fingers close together)

- "The old {fill in the blank} trick! That's the {fill in the blank} I've fallen for it this month!"

- "Would you believe. . . ?" followed by ever more improbable situations. ie, "Would you believe that this building is surrounded by 50 CONTROL agents?" Inevitable response: "I find that very hard to believe, Mr. Smart. " "Would you believe 40 CONTROL agents? How about two angry boy scouts on roller skates?"

- "Good thinking, 99. "

- "I asked you not to tell me that!" (after imploring someone, "Don't tell me. . . ")

- "That's the SECOND biggest {fill in the blank} I've ever seen!" (Whenever an outrageously oversized object appears (e. g. a 30ft arrow, or a silencer the size of a bucket)

- ". . . and loving it. " (always said with squinted eyes and a suave look, in response to being told he would be in great danger every minute of a particular assignment)

- "If only {fill in the blank} had used their power for goodness and niceness instead of evil. "

- "Of course! The {fill in the blank}. It's got to be the {fill in the blank}. What else could it be but the {fill in the blank}. Just one question. What is the {fill in the blank}?"

- "He (or she) asked me to get my knee off his (or her) chest. " (Smart frequently found himself needing to kneel down and lean over to hear someone's dying words, and inevitably he would report that request, as he moved his knee to the ground. )

- "Alright, {insult}. " (Then, after three punches from Smart don't faze the bad guy) "Listen, I hope I wasn't out of line with that crack about {same insult as before}. "

While Smart (Adams) used the catchphrases much more often than anyone else, it was not uncommon for the Chief or 99 to utter an, ". . . and loving it. " or a, "Sorry about that, Max. "

Siegfried also has the recurring phrase of putting down when someone does or says something he thinks is beneath them i. e. "This is KAOS, we don't shush here!"

The proposed movie

The 1966 Batman movie, made during that TV show's original run, was hugely successful and prompted other television shows to propose similar films in order to cash in on the phenomenon. Batman (also known as Batman The Movie) is a 1966 film spin-off of the popular ''Batman'' television series, and was the first The only one completed was Munster Go Home (1966), which was a huge box office flop, causing the cancellation of other projects, including "Get Smart" movie. Munster Go Home! is an American film based on the 1960s sitcom The Munsters. The script for that movie was turned into the three-part episode "A Man Called Smart", which originally aired 4/8, 4/15 & 4/22 1967.

Follow-ups

Three movie versions were produced years after the end of the NBC/CBS run of the TV series:

The relative success of Get Smart, Again! eventually prompted the development of a short-lived 1995 weekly series on FOX, also titled Get Smart, with Don Adams and Barbara Feldon reprising their characters, with Maxwell Smart now being the Chief of CONTROL, as their bungling son, Zach (Andy Dick), becomes CONTROL's star agent. Get Smart Again! is a made-for-TV movie based on the 1965-1970 NBC / CBS Television series, Get Smart !, which originally Year 1989 ( MCMLXXXIX) was a Common year starting on Sunday (link displays 1989 Gregorian calendar) The American Broadcasting Company ( ABC) is an American Television network. 2008 ( MMVIII) is the current year in accordance with the Gregorian calendar, a Leap year that started on Tuesday of the Common This article is about the 2008 remake film For the 1989 reunion movie see Get Smart Again!

The last episode of the 1995 series shows that just as Siegfried is leaving a room, Maxwell Smart accidentally activates an atomic bomb just before the end of the show. (The teaser for the episode shows an atomic bomb going off. ) This ending is similar to a device used by the Get Smart-inspired series Sledge Hammer! at the end of its first season. Sledge Hammer! was a satirical Police sitcom produced by New World Television that ran for two seasons on ABC There weren't high hopes for the series as Andy Dick had already moved on to NewsRadio which premiered weeks later in 1995. Andrew R "Andy" Dick (born December 21 1965 is an American Comedian, Actor, Voice artist, Musician and Producer NewsRadio is an American sitcom, originally broadcast from 1995 to 1999 on NBC.

With the revival series on FOX, Get Smart became the first television franchise to air new episodes on each of the aforementioned current four major American television networks, although several TV shows in the 1940s and 1950s aired on NBC, CBS, ABC and DuMont. The DuMont Television Network was the world's first commercial Television network, beginning operation in the United States in 1946 The different versions of Get Smart did not all feature the original lead cast intact.

The theatrical release of Get Smart hits theaters on June 20, 2008.

Get Smart cars

AMT, a major producer of model car kits, later bought out by Ertl, produced a replica of the 1965 Sunbeam Tiger roadster Smart drove in the opening credits. Aluminum Metal Toys, or AMT for short is a Troy Michigan -based company that manufactures various plastic models from the late 1950s The Sunbeam Tiger was a Muscle car version of the British Rootes Group's Sunbeam Alpine Roadster. Complete with a horde of hidden weapons, it is the only kit of the Tiger produced to date and is highly coveted by collectors. The start of the 1968 season put Smart in a Volkswagen Karmann Ghia for the opening credits; the car never appeared in the show itself. The Karmann Ghia was marketed by Volkswagen as a 2+2 Coupe and Convertible combining the straightforward chassis and mechanicals of the Type 1 He also began driving a 1969 Opel GT, with a new phone: the giant rotary telephone dial covered the steering wheel, revisiting a gag first seen in a first-season episode. The Opel GT is a two-seat Sports car introduced in 1968 by Opel, a German possession of General Motors. Max is also seen driving a green with tan interior, 1968 Ford Shelby convertible in at least one episode.

Spies at work

CONTROL and KAOS did not seem to be above everyday bureaucracy and business quirks. KAOS is a Delaware corporation for tax purposes. CONTROL's union is the Guild of Surviving Control Agents, and Max is their negotiator; when a captured KAOS agent tells him about their survivors' benefits, the Chief is within earshot, and Max promptly uses the information for his labor talks.

In one episode, where Max infiltrates a KAOS-run garden shop, Max refuses to arrest the manager until after 5 p. m. , so he can collect a full day's pay from the shop. The Chief threatens to fire him, but Max is not afraid; according to CONTROL's seniority policy, "If I get fired from CONTROL, Larrabee moves up!" The Chief gives in and lets Max stay on the job, rather than risk having the (even more) inept Larrabee take Max's place.

In another episode, Siegfried and Max casually discuss the various flavors of cyanide pills they have been issued. It was Raspberry that month at CONTROL, and Max offered Siegfried a taste. In that same episode, Max and Siegfried have a show and tell of various weapons they have—Max boasts of having a deadly non-regulation pistol—from a Chicago Mail Order House. (The prop in use is actually an 1896 Mauser C96 pistol. The C96 is a Semi-automatic pistol that was manufactured from 1896 to 1936 in Germany. )

Cover names were common, but sent up as being used unwisely—in an art gallery, a phone call is announced for an alias, and Max identifies himself as the person in question. Second, third and fourth calls come in, each with its own alias—the last of which was his own name (Maxwell Smart), which he initially does not answer—and Max tells the skeptical gallery owner that those are his names as well, making it obvious to any spy that he is taking calls from fellow agents and informants. Max then proceeds to make himself even more visible by tangling the handset cords of the four phones together.

CONTROL also has a policy of burning pertinent documents after cases are closed; the reasons why were detailed in their rules and regulations book, but nobody can read them, since they burned the only copy.

In the interest of company morale, both CONTROL and KAOS have their own bowling teams.

Other Get Smart productions

Don Adams played Maxwell Smart in a 1989 TV commercial for KMart. He was seen talking on his trademark shoe phone, telling the chief about the great selection of electronics available at KMart. An exact replica of himself approaches him, and Max says, "Don't tell me you're a double agent. "

Adams also starred in a series of local commercials for New York City electronics chain Savemart as Maxwell Smart. The City of New York The slogan was "Get Smart. A slogan is a memorable Motto or Phrase used in a Political, commercial, Religious and other context as a repetitive expression of Get SaveMart Smart". [4] In addition, Adams starred in a series of commercials for White Castle in 1992, homaging his Get Smart character with his catch phrase, "Would you believe. . . ?"[5]

Adams again played a bungling secret agent in the animated series Inspector Gadget (which later became a feature film starring Matthew Broderick in the title role) and its prequel series Gadget Boy and Heather, neither of which was related to Get Smart. Inspector Gadget is an Animated television series about a clumsy absent-minded and oblivious Detective, Inspector Gadget who is a human being with Inspector Gadget is a 1999 Live-action Film based on the characters of the popular Animated cartoon series of the same name Matthew Broderick (born March 21, 1962) is an American award-winning film and stage Actor who is best known for his roles as the title character Gadget Boy & Heather (also known as Gadget Boy) is an Animated television series from DiC Entertainment. He portrayed Maxwell Smart in a series of TV commercials for Toyota New Zealand for the 1990 model Toyota Starlet in the late 1980s. While it is usual for the actor to go to New Zealand, Adams's apparent intense dislike of long-distance flying meant that the New Zealand specification car had to be shipped to the US for filming. He also appeared in another series of popular Canadian ones in the late 1990s for a dial-around long distance carrier.
