Very well executed

In other words,this film is a surreal ride.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

I really admire the way Agent 86, Maxwell Smart, always find a clever and unpredictable way of defeating the evil organization KAOS while being funny. I mean you are dealing with evil and dangerous individuals here. It is really masterful to defeat them so easily while being entertaining for the beloved public.I don't think the world has known any other agents like Maxwell Smart. The cherry on the cake is obviously the gorgeous Agent 99: she is always there to save the day when Smart run out of trick...

Get Smart is by far one of my favorite television shows of all-time. The characters are put through a variety of humorous and intriguing situations, and I always marvel at how the scriptwriters are able to get Maxwell Smart through yet another dangerous situation alive! Don Adams was a smash hit in this show, as was Edward Platt. Add in the beautiful Barbara Feldon, and you've got a dynamic trio that truly creates something magical. The characters really got into their roles, and I often forget that I am watching actors and not real people. Yes, Maxwell Smart at times is convincing! And Larabee or Siegfried always make me laugh.One of my favorite aspects of the show is also in the music. The culture of the 60s is reflected in many of the episodes, such as the well-known "Groovy Guru" or "Diplomat's Daughter" where vivacious girls are swinging their hips and "doing the pony" to groovy rock 'n' roll music in a late-night dance club. I can't help but feel my body move along to those groovy sounds as well. If those were the 60s, what a great time they were to grow up! This is truly a show for not just the 60s, but for the ages. Its innocent humor, wide variety of interesting plot lines, and phenomenal actors catapults it to being one of the greatest shows of all-time. I highly recommend Get Smart, and I wish that there were shows like it today.

I remember watching Get Smart when it first aired in the 60s as well as reruns thereafter and I thought it was a hilarious spy spoof. The key to the show's success was Don Adams' portrayal of the bumbling secret agent Maxwell Smart, who along with Barbara Feldon Agent 99 (real name never revealed) battled various KAOS agents who tried to take over the world.Of course, there were Smart's numerous catch phrases, such as "Sorry about that, Chief. Would you believe... and The old____________ trick." Also adding to the mayhem were Dick Gautier as Hymie the Robot, who took everything literally, Robert Karvelas as Larrabee and as The Chief, Edward Platt. There was one episode I remember where the Chief was undercover as a singing waiter, which put the Julliard trained Platt's talents to good use.On the bad guys side, there was Bernie Kopell who played the head of KAOS, Siegfried, who always referred to Smart as "Schmart." King Moody portrayed his assistant Starker (aka Schtarker).What also made Get Smart entertaining were the movie spoofs such as Casablanca and Rear Window. In real life, Adams was a classic movie buff and he also directed episodes.Unfortunately, I felt the show jumped the shark when Max and 99 got married in the fourth season and declining ratings forced NBC to cancel the show but CBS picked it up for one more season before it was finally canceled.One thing I'll always remember about Get smart was the opening, where Smart goes through a number of doors, accompanied by Irving Szathmary's up tempo theme before heading into a phone booth and falling through the bottom.And loving it.

The day Don Adams died, I was pondering his code name, Agent 86. I had always assumed it was a just a random number. Suddenly, I realized, when you're 86-ing something, you're terminating it (there is wide speculation as to the origin of this term, by the way). I'm still wondering if Max was 86 because he was in danger of being 86'd (after all, the name of the show WAS "Get Smart"), if it was because he 86'd people by accident, or if he was the guy you sent in when you wanted to have someone 86'd. Perhaps, all of the above.Anyway, this is just another example of the cleverness of this show.Don, we miss you! We truly are "sorry about that, Chief."
