Maxwell Smart, a.k.a. Agent 86, works for CONTROL, a Washington, D.C.-based counterintelligence agency. Totally inept as a secret agent, Smart can barely use the gadgetry the agency provides him (including a phone embedded in his shoe). Nevertheless, he and his fellow agents always seem to thwart the operations of KAOS, an organized crime outfit dedicated to evil. Agent 99 is Smart's smarter partner, a resourceful agent who eventually marries her bumbling cohort. Smart and Agent 99's boss is a man known only as The Chief.

Critics Consensus

Get Smart's obsession with playing dumb may be an acquired taste, but those who enjoy witty witlessness will find Don Adams' finesse at making a fool of himself endlessly enjoyable.

Cynthia Lowry Associated Press A little of this goes a long way -- and even a single half-hour watching Secret Agent 86 stumbling over his own feet seemed quite a long way. Mar 4, 2021 Full Review Valda Marshall Sydney Morning Herald It was a romp from start to finish. I only hope they can keep up the big joke through a season. Mar 4, 2021 Full Review Harry Harris Philadelphia Inquirer This anything-for-laughs opus isn't always funny, but the ha-ha, even ho-ho! quota is refreshingly high. Mar 3, 2021 Full Review Rick Du Brow United Press International The problem is how the writers can possibly keep up a funny spoof of a spoof of a spoof for some 30 episodes or more. The opening third of Saturday's program was hilarious; then the show sagged a bit, and finally picked ' up again at the end. Mar 4, 2021 Full Review Dwight Newton San Francisco Examiner Get Smart is a brittle, witty, hollow, meatless spoof on James Bond coming at a time when Ipcress File is suddenly turning Bond into an old hatful of clichés. Mar 3, 2021 Full Review Jack Anderson Miami Herald They don't just ladle out the gags, they hurl them at us by the shovelful. And you see each one coming. Mar 3, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Peter W It's interesting to read the contemporaneous reviews. None of them would have suspected that this has become a loved classic still watched and enjoyed 60 years later! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/03/23 Full Review Isaiah S This is definitely my favorite 60's show. It is really fun to watch Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/01/23 Full Review Audience Member With HILARIOUS dialog and brilliantly weird stories, Get Smart still holds up today as one of the funniest comedies of all time... even if the acting leaves much to be desired.
