Get Smart is an American comedy television series that satirizes the secret agent genre. Created by Mel Brooks with Buck Henry, the show stars Don Adams, Barbara Feldon, and Edward Platt. Henry said they created the show by request of Daniel Melnick, who was a partner, along with Leonard Stern and David Susskind, of the show's production company, Talent Associates, to capitalize on "the two biggest things in the entertainment world today"—James Bond and Inspector Clouseau. Brooks said: "It's an insane combination of James Bond and Mel Brooks comedy." This is the only Mel Brooks production to feature a laugh track. The success of the show eventually spawned the follow-up films The Nude Bomb and Get Smart, Again!, as well as a 1995 revival series and a 2008 film remake. In 2010, TV Guide ranked Get Smart's opening title sequence at No. 2 on its list of TV's Top 10 Credits Sequences, as selected by readers.

User Reviews

A funny, clever, and classic TV sitcom centred around spies. It was entertaining decades after its original airtime—worth a watch.

The funniest spy show. Is a classic comedy farce.

Love it, the humor, nostalgia and innocence of these old shows.

I remember watching this show as a kid, with my family. We still laugh about the jokes, it was a great show

Classic slapstick nonsense fun for the whole family

Still elegant. Still funny. Still smart.

Timothy Kerry OMARA

A classic espionage show that is well written with excellent acting, humor, direction and plot. It’s such a funny show, too!

I love this show so much, it never gets old

I liked this growing up. It's just alright now.

Fun and iconic even with fairly simple humour that is constantly recycled.
