That "Get Smart" Was Created by Mel Brooks?

That Mel Brooks will be turning 100 this Summer?

That "Get Smart" was originally pitched to the ABC Television Network, which passed over on the show before NBC picked it up for the Fall 1965 TV season?

That Mel Brooks, after creating "Get Smart," hired Buck Henry to help him write a Pilot Script and pitch it to ABC before the show was picked up by NBC?

That after NBC cancelled "Get Smart" in 1969 due to low ratings, CBS picked it up, only to cancel it permanently a year later in 1970?

That in 1980, 10 years after "Get Smart" was cancelled, Don Adams reprised his role as Maxwell Smart in a Theatrical Film called "The Nude Bomb," which despite its title, featured only a limited amount of Nudity and was a Box Office Bomb?

That in 1989, a Made-for-TV Reunion movie was made called "Get Smart Again!"?

That from January 14, 1991 - December 30, 1994, Nickelodeon aired reruns of "Get Smart" as part of its Nick at Nite lineup?

That in the years since then, reruns have continued to flourish on DVD and in Syndication?

That "Get Smart" celebrated 60 years on air this Fall?

And lastly, that "Get Smart" will be airing on Catchy Comedy at month's end?
