Prior to Get Smart, Don Adams appeared in The Bill Dana Show. Don also provided the voice of cartoon character Tennesee Tuxedo. After Get Smart, Don Adams had a short lived TV series titled The Partners, and in the 1980's he was in the TV series Check It Out, where he played the manager of a supermarket.

Barbara Feldon was in an episode of The Man From UNCLE.

Ed Platt was in an episode of The Dick Van Dyke Show.

Don Adams also voiced the Inspector Gadget cartoon character. And then in 1999, he voiced the character of Brain, the dog, at the very end of the movie, "Inspector Gadget" (first one) Matthew Broderick and Joely Fisher. Ironically, Andy Dick was also in this film. (Andy had portrayed Max and 99's son, Zach, in the 1995 'Get Smart' series)

Barbara was also in the 1960s "Flipper" series in a 2-part called, "Lady and the Dolphin".

Don Adams also had an odd, but wonderful, show in the 70's called "Don Adams' Screen Test." Contestants would be shown a short (usually famous) scene from an old movie and given time to go backstage and learn it-----then they would shoot the scene with Don as the director. The audience got a chance to see some of the really cool things about production---like fake cars with no fronts that allowed them to film the "drivers", rear projection, etc. They'd film 2 or 3 of these scenes per episode. The audience would watch them all at the end and vote for their favorite. I think the winners may have gotten a real screen test at a later date...or maybe prizes....I don't quite remember.

Naturally, the goof ups were really funny-----Don would yell "CUT!!!!!" and they'd pick up from that point.

I'd love to have it on DVD!

yea, I remember that great series!!! It ran in first-run syndication, and in each episode he had on a celebrity. Then the contestant had to recreate the scene with him or her. (even love scenes!)
I remember; before they'd show the finished scene they'd show outtakes of it-and some of them were HILAIOUS!!!
(Don did the show because he was always a big movie buff)

It's a shame the show didn't last longer.

Don also wrote, directed and starred in a series of commercials for Aurora games after "GET SMART" and he played Maxwell Smart again in an AWFUL theatrical movie called "The nude bomb" in 1979 (also the guy who played Larrabie; and I read that some of the interaction between them was the best part of it) and he and Barbara recreated Max and 99 in a TV-movie called "GET SMART AGAIN".

I remember the commercial Don Adams made for the Aurora game "Aurora Derby". It was a pinball style horse racing game. Each player had to shoot a metal ball up a ramp and into a hole. If the ball fell in the hole it would advance the horse along the track. First player to get their horse to the finish line won the race.

And if I recall, Don Adams also made commercials for "Skittle Pool" and "Skittle Bowl".
