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...

A few years ago I auditioned for a quiz show THE EINSTEIN FACTOR. My special subject was GET SMART. They asked me about 20 questions. I got one wrong , it was a question at which I responded , I don't care about that stuff.When asked what prison camp Max was sent to .. I responded as quick as Max Gitchee Goomee Noonee Wawa. and I felt that every other question was as easy as my own name. Except one; How many prisoners were sent to the prison camp?I said "That's a ridiculous question. How is anyone supposed to know that....... 23 .... CorrectI didn't get on the show when they found out my wife worked at the TV station. Ridiculous, because there was no prize money, just a statuette.Anyway Max killed bad guys and we laughed. He also killed good guys accidentally and we laughed. (The Worst Best Man)There were 2 great series. Series 1 and series 4. Series 4 notably for it's Arne Sultan, Leonard Stern Allan Burns & Chris Hayward episodes.My favorite episodes are Schwartz's Island and Too Many Chiefs.My favorite line Chief: We still don't know Favorite password; You say Apple , I say Mackintosh.

I come from China,I'm 23 years now,I saw it when I was still young.I really like it,smart and 99 gave me a deep impression. I can't image that, this TV series was showed in 1965,i couldn't believe Don Adams had been over 40 years old.I saw it about in 1995s and a lot of Chinese saw it and like it. i know it had issued DVD version,i want to know how to buy it in China.Your comment does not contain enough lines - the minimum length for comments is 10 lines of text. who made this rule?I am a Chinese I don't have a ability to write a comment for 10 lines. come on let me submit please.and forgive my poor English.

I understand that HBO is releasing "Get Smart" on DVD within a short while (today is 10/29/05) .. so, you wish will be coming true .. anyone sending/selling copies at this time .. legally CAN be in big trouble with various agencies of the government as well as owners of "Get Smart" .. So, please wait until "Get Smart" is released for sale and then they will be in great shape and not down seventeen generations with shadows and mumbled words .. they will be 'The Best' .. I am glad that I was able to work on "Get Smart" the last two years in casting AND then for Don Adams on/off for 5 years or so .. I shall always miss him a LOT . but have VERY fond memories and keep remembering funny things he said or did throughout our years together as boss/assistant (he gave me the title of executive assistant) and then some kind of producer title on "Don Adams Screen Test" .. wish THAT would come out on DVD too .. but doubt that shall happen .. both shows were just SUPER to work on .. Perhaps someday I shall write a book .. Don did, I hope that it shall be published .. I learned a LOT about his early years that I did NOT know .. Nancy E. Barr
