Synopsis
The relative success of Get Smart, Again! eventually prompted the development of a weekly revival of Get Smart with Don Adams and Barbara Feldon reprising their characters (Maxwell Smart and Agent 99 respectively). Get Smart Again! is a made-for-TV movie based on the 1965-1970 NBC / CBS Television series, Get Smart !, which originally Don Adams (born Donald James Yarmy; April 13 1923 &ndash September 25 2005 was an American Actor, Comedian, Game show Barbara Feldon (born Barbara Hall on March 12, 1932 in Bethel Park Pennsylvania) is an American actress, Game show Maxwell Smart was now the Chief of CONTROL, his and 99's (now a politician) bungling son, Zach (Andy Dick), becomes CONTROL's star agent.

Cancellation
The show failed to recapture the spirit of the original. 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[1], 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.

- ^ When Dick, still contracted to Get Smart, got an offer to become a regular on NewsRadio, he made it known that he wanted out. Dick began publicly trashing Get Smart in interviews (he also claimed Adams didn't want to do the show). The lousy ratings no doubt made the issue moot, with the network having effectively written off the show before ever airing it. Dick went on to NewsRadio—a classic sitcom—and lived strangely ever after.
