Before Austin Powers and modern spy spoofs, Get Smart turned Cold War espionage into pure comedy chaos. Join me as we look back at Maxwell Smart, Agent 99, the Cone of Silence, and the genius behind television’s perfect anti-spy series.

No, I think 3rd Rock from the Sun was more absurd. Love them both but boy were they not real life!!!

Get Smart was great. Agree about 3rd Rock. Green Acres could also be in the mix. All 3 shows were extremely funny.

The premise of My Mother the Car comes to mind, maybe It's About Time as well.

Anyway, to varying degrees, I pretty much like all of series mentioned in the posts I've followed in this thread.
