Get Smart
Agent 86 is face to face with danger again "and loving it!"
Created by Buck Henry, Mel Brooks
A lighthearted spy-comedy sitcom where incompetence on both sides of the law defuses any real threat, sustained across 138 episodes by affectionate absurdity and period charm.
Maxwell Smart, a hilariously inept and maladroit secret agent for CONTROL, battles the nefarious—though equally incompetent—KAOS.
