Who was the better agent?

I like both MAX and 99

They were perfectly matched, so I voted for both.

I voted for they each hold their own, both were incredible actors in their own special ways!

I voted for Max and 99 I liked both of them.

Max.

They were both great agents.

They were both great characters. However, 99 was smarter than Max but apparently never pointed it out to him. She would always figure things out first but let him think he had (as far as I remember). Also, interestingly, 99 often seemed insecure, thinking that Max was going to be attracted to some other woman.

I watched Get Smart at the Museum of Television and Radio recently and it was the episode in which Control is downsizing (how's that for a relevant plot) and Max pretends to join KAOS. 99 actually did not appear in that one! They were a great team, I'm surprised she was ever written out.

BTW is that picture above doctored? I'm pretty sure Barbara Feldon was taller than Don Adams.

I always thought 99 was a smarter and better agent than Max.

Yes, she was. They did everything they could though to make sure that Don Adams appeared taller. I think in one interview, he said that often he would stand on an apple crate in some of their scenes.

99. No doubt !!!!!

OH Nuts! · 08-15-2007, 10:30 PM

Would you believe....99! She wasn't 99 for nothin'!! She was much smarter and far more alert than Max.

I think you really needed them both as they were a perfect team...what one lacked in one dept, the other had, and vice versa. Max was actually smarter than he seemed...he usually DID solve his cases...it just took some time for his brain to warm up first!
