For me, it was local syndication during the 1970's.

I saw it when it first aired. I also remember having some Get Smart trading cards about that same year.

I hate to say it, but I remember it from it's first run. I was a kid and sometimes had to take a bath when it was on. I did get to see some episodes though. I thought it was funny, even as a kid.

My parents watched the show in the 1960's during the original run. My dad liked the show a lot, my mom thought it was OK but I don't recall her being that fond of it. I was a kid at the time and too young to understand or appreciate the show. Then in the early 1970's when I was a few years older, Get Smart started airing on local syndicated TV, that's when I started to watch the show and became a fan.

I too am an all-of-the-above-er. Well...first would be first-run of course but I picked it up again on WSNS Chicago in 1977 and Nick @ Nite in 1992. I even decorated an upstairs bedroom in the same patriotic style Mr. Bob redid Max and 99's honeymoon apartment in 1969!

I distinctly remember a Get Smart coloring book from that same era when I was about five. Get Smart was a family favorite (as was Star Trek, making us much cooler than those Nielsen-connected clods) but I also keenly recall being traumatized by the door slamming on Max's nose at the end every week to the extent I had to look away.

The door on the nose.

I use to ask my dad how come his nose didn't come off.

I use to watch it when I was a kid with my dad on reruns in the late 80s. My dad passed away in 1994, I was still a kid then and I remember I'd come home from school to watch the reruns after he had passed on. I loved the show. I didn't care for my kiddies shows then. I watched some reruns in the early 2000s but I was a teen into my music and boys, so I watched it when I could. It's on reruns again in NZ. I can't stop laughing, so I got all the seasons on DVD.

99 was a role model for me. She ROCKED!

when it was rerun in the 1970s for me.

Lisa_Eva · 05-28-2012, 06:50 PM

On TVLand before school in the late 90's.

MickeyMac · 05-30-2012, 12:53 PM

Nick at Nite had it during the late 80's/early 90's. Thats when I first saw it and dug it.

Mark Glicker · 05-31-2012, 08:05 PM

I watched the show during the original run.

bookandfilmnut · 06-20-2012, 04:18 PM

Back in the summer of 1981 WTBS out of Atlanta was airing Get Smart at 7:35 PM except when the Braves were playing an evening game. During the '81 baseball strike, that meant that there was 6 or 7 weeks where Get Smart was on every evening, and that's when I first saw it. I was 14 and was immediately hooked. I was crazy about anything spy-related in those days.

I did not get to see many episodes that summer, just a few weeks worth, and stopped airing it in the Fall, so it was not until ten years later when Nick at Nite and then later TVLand showed it that I saw most of the episodes. Even still, I have not seen them all, but I just bought the entire series dvd collection, and plan to fix that now.

After school in syndication. late 1970 or early 1971.

Zoneboy · 02-08-2015, 09:59 PM

Local syndication, I first saw it on Bob Gordon Theater on WSJS in the early 70's.
