Get Smart! [sic] is a cluck-and-dagger series. The cluck is one
Maxwell Smart, known to his friends as Secret Agent 86. Played by dead-pan
comedian Don Adams, Smart is an operative for the undercover government
agency called CONTROL, which spends most of its time counteracting the
schemes of that infamous network of evil, KAOS. Like James Bond and Napoleon Solo, Smart is dapper and fearless, a master of judo, karate and all
deadly weapons. He is, in short, the compleat secret agent, except for one
small flaw: Smart is stupid. He locks himself in closets, jumps into cars and
forgets to close the door, gets stuck in chairs, even has trouble distinguishing
men from women. Still, he always manages to foil KAOS, with the help of outlandish spy gadgets that sometimes work, beauteous Agent 99 (Barbara
Feldon) and an insolent dog named Fang. One episode, co-authored by Mel
Brooks, involves a dwarf called Mr. Big, a New York Mets' double-header, a
plot to blow up the Statue of Liberty, a diabolical weapon called Dante's
Inthermo and a scow full of rubber garbage. Some of the plots, on the other
hand, are preposterous.
