List of Get Smart episodes

Get Smart is an American comedy television series that satirizes the secret agent genre. Created by Mel Brooks and Buck Henry, the series stars Don Adams (as Maxwell Smart, Agent 86), Barbara Feldon (as Agent 99), and Edward Platt (as the Chief). It was initially broadcast from September 18, 1965, to May 15, 1970, the first four seasons on NBC, and the last on CBS. It ran for five seasons, with 138 half-hour episodes being produced in total.

The pilot episode was filmed in black-and-white, but the entire ensuing series was filmed in color.

Like most sitcoms of its time, Get Smart was not serialized, so the episodes generally have no relation to each other.

Each of the five seasons has been released on DVD by HBO; also, the entire series has been released in a single box set, first by Time Life, then by HBO.

On August 10, 2015, the entire series was officially released on digital streaming platforms for the first time in preparation for the series 50th anniversary.

Notes: This episode marks the second impression by Adams of Humphrey Bogart on the show, this time as a parody of his Sam Spade role from The Maltese Falcon, and for the parody characters of the Fat Man and Joel Cairo, most famously played by Sydney Greenstreet and Peter Lorre (although here the Fat Man is called Mr. Peter and the Lorre-type character is Mr. Sidney. When Max apologizes for constantly mixing the name up, the Fat Man tells him that it happens "all the time"). Buddy Hackett has a cameo as the duo's bespectacled but nearsighted gunslinger Wilbur (based on "Wilmer Cook" of The Maltese Falcon). The episode's title is printed as "Maxwell Smart, Private Eye" on the DVD edition, but announced as "Maxwell Smart, Private Spy" in Barbara Feldon's spoken introduction, and this title appears in NBC memos shown on the bonus features DVD.

In 1967 this episode won the Emmy Award for Outstanding Directing in a Comedy Series.

Max will go undercover as a trumpet player and 99 will be a dancer. They discover that The Leader is Herb Talbot. Unfortunately, their cover is blown and Talbot orders them to be found and killed. After a chase, Max and 99 are trapped in a room. They confess their love for each other and kiss. Max says he would marry 99 if they survived this mission. Talbot and his henchman do wind up getting captured. Eddie Hice as Drummer. Robert Karvelas as Larabee.

As a good exercise, Max has the new agents tail 99, who is on her day off, as she completes errands and shops for the upcoming wedding. However, unbeknownst to Max, the Chief had assigned 99 to pick up components of a scientific formula, leading the rookie agents to think she is acting suspiciously. Of course 99 spots the rookies right away and assumes that they must be KAOS agents. There is also a funny scene between Max and the Chief involving the Cone of Silence. The title of the episode references Dickens' A Tale of Two Cities.

The Chief orders Max to select the Admiral to be his best man at the wedding so that Max will have a cover to keep an eye on the Admiral at all times. Since no one knows what the Chameleon looks like, paranoia runs rampant at the Smart domicile — even "Mr. Bob" (Jack Cassidy), the interior decorator for the apartment, is mistaken for the wily master of disguise. The title of the episode references Coleridge's "Rime of the Ancient Mariner".

Will Max and 99 manage to get married, despite all of Max's difficulties? The title is a play on the Brothers Grimm's fairy tales: "Cinderella" and "Snow White."

Max's assignment in Hong Kong is to get a new secret weapon from a tailor (Leonard Strong). The new weapon, as it turns out, is a man's blazer with a button on it that activates a laser beam of great strength — a "laser blazer". However, Max doesn't know that the blazer is the weapon... in his view, he's left the tailor's shop merely with a sportscoat he didn't want. Confusion ensues afterward as various people activate the laser by mistake. Julie Newmar guest stars as the new maid 99 hires who is really an undercover KAOS agent after the sportscoat.

When KAOS needs the contents of an attaché case the Chief is carrying, Mrs. Farkas arranges to supply 99 with a dessert for the supper she has prepared for Max and the Chief... a poisoned mousse.

This conveniently requires of them that they enter active duty on board a Navy ship while KAOS nefariously plans activities on the mainland. Max is an officer and the Chief is a common seaman named John Doe!
9913"Schwartz's Island"Bruce BilsonChris Hayward, Allan Burns, Arne Sultan and Leonard SternDecember 21, 1968 (1968-12-21)099
While on their honeymoon, Max and 99 become stranded at sea because the boat they were sailing on exploded (due, as usual, to Max's inept behavior). They end up on an island in the Caribbean which, as it turns out, is synthetic and was designed by KAOS scientist Schwartz. Stationed on the island are Siegfried and Starker, who are there running a massive electromagnetic device. Their plan is to attract the entire U.S. Sixth Fleet, which will just happen to pass by the island in a short amount of time. The episode is a spoof of Gilligan's Island, a show produced by Sherwood Schwartz.

This becomes a problem when Max has to protect Dr. Canyon at his apartment in the middle of the night. Returning home from assignment, 99 arrives back at the apartment just as Dr. Canyon's invisibility spray is wearing off. The title is a parody of the Pledge of Allegiance of the United States, "one nation, indivisible".

Max and 99 go undercover as stage actors to find out how KAOS is smuggling scientific information out of the country. But KAOS learns the new actors (if one indeed can call Max an "actor") are CONTROL agents and therefore plots to kill Max by putting real bullets in the stage prop gun used in the play. Will this cause a new twist in the plot? The title is a parody of the 1934 standard "Hooray for Hollywood".
10216"The Day They Raided the Knights"Reza BadiyiRick MittlemanJanuary 11, 1969 (1969-01-11)102

It is budget-cutting time at CONTROL and 99, who has less seniority, is temporarily laid off. Rather than be idle, she manages to find a job at a stamp redemption center (the late 1960s was the heyday of S & H Green Stamps). However, the redemption center is a KAOS munitions depot that CONTROL has been actively looking for. With most of the CONTROL agents away from town on a false lead, KAOS uses the opportunity to distribute its new weapon to its agents: a stereophonic gun (two guns mounted left-right on a common trigger base). Will 99 be able to alert CONTROL in time?

10620"To Sire, with Love: Part 1"Gary NelsonArne Sultan and Chris HaywardFebruary 15, 1969 (1969-02-15)106

The King of Coronia (Don Adams), the very Ronald Colman-like king whom we met in the Season 3 episode "The King Lives", is in the United States on official Coronian business. A plot against him by the swashbuckling yet devious Rupert of Rathskeller (played by an uncredited James Caan) may come to fruition unless Max can pass himself off successfully as his lookalike. However, things are more complicated this time around, as Max is now married to 99, and he fears that the charming King may be doing more to sweep 99 off her feet than he can.

Max is undercover as a truck driver carrying valuable electronics as three similar shipments have already been hijacked by KAOS. Max is duped out of his shipment as well, but is able to identify the hijacker except the Chief tells him that he's deceased. Morgue records confirm this but also shows who signed out the body: a mad KAOS scientist, Dr. Zharko (Tom Poston, who was originally considered for the role of Maxwell Smart) who may have figured out how to revive dead agents. Max and 99 head out to his Newfoundland hideout to stop him.


10923"Leadside"Gary NelsonLloyd Turner and Whitey MitchellMarch 8, 1969 (1969-03-08)109

Max is shot in his own personal "rear window" while apprehending a KAOS agent. Because he is out of commission whilst his gluteus maximus heals, he must stay at home for a couple weeks. Since the TV is not working properly, he passes the time reading magazines and occasionally looking out his window with a pair of binoculars, to see what is going on in the building across the street. By a strange coincidence, however, the case the Chief and 99 are working upon involves the people in the Greer Industries office across the street.

Smart and 99 try everything to break the glass but have to flee when KAOS agents discover their rescue attempt. On their way out, 99 reveals to Max that she is pregnant. The Chief organizes another rescue attempt by using a CONTROL operatic singer whose high notes can shatter any type of glass with Max undercover as her accompanying pianist. To further complicate things, Max has to get spray-on plastic surgery: he blew his secret agent cover in the euphoria of finding out that he will be a father. Martin Landau and Phyllis Diller have cameos as Max's plastic surgery results. The opening scene involves Smart, 99, and the Chief in space suits having a secret meeting on the moon, with the Chief announcing that since the Americans have officially landed on the moon, CONTROL is cancelling their moon meetings.

He manages to infiltrate CONTROL headquarters, but did not find what he was looking for: the Anti-Anti-Anti-Missile-Missile plans.

The actual switch involved 12 baby buggies and 16 CONTROL agents, performing an intricate maneuver in the style of a Busby Berkeley number. (It was choreographed by Adams' wife Dorothy Bracken.)

The Chief sends Max, disguised as recently-deceased prospector Frogsie Debbs, to Mira Lodo, Mexico, to find Debbs' old partner C. Errol Madre. Debbs and Madre had charted a map leading to a gold find, with each keeping one half of the map until one day they join forces again to get the gold. A successful impersonation of Debbs by Max could recover enough gold to help restore CONTROL's operations. A spoof of The Treasure of the Sierra Madre.

CONTROL has been looking for the location of the new KAOS headquarters for the last 4 months. A new lead has Max doing the surveillance of the bus station on the lookout for KAOS agent Simon the Likable (Jack Gilford), a dangerous operative who has gotten his nickname because he is so seemingly sweet and charming that he captivates everyone and anyone around him into being hopelessly obliging. Simon is to receive directions on how to get to the new headquarters, which is covertly slipped into his trench coat while it rests on a coat hook in a coffee shop. Max receives a call from 99, saying it is time to go to the hospital to give birth. Max rushes out of the coffee shop, taking Simon's coat by mistake. Max had instructions on how to get to the hospital in his coat. Using the wrong map, Max and 99 end up at KAOS's new HQ, a sinister sanctuary, instead of the maternity ward.

She's actually an impostor — the real 99 (who gave her the black eye) was kidnapped by KAOS but had escaped, and was now with the Chief — but the Chief orders Max to pretend that he's taken in by the deception and for 99 to return to captivity, the better to figure out what KAOS is up to.


  • Note: This episode completes a "trilogy" centered around doubles villains for the three main characters of Get Smart (Max, the Chief and 99). The others are "Too Many Chiefs" (episode #11) and "The Spy Who Met Himself" (episode #63).
13422"Smartacus"Charles R. RondeauLloyd Turner and Whitey MitchellFebruary 27, 1970 (1970-02-27)134

Max and the Chief investigate a series of security leaks that seem to be connected to a chain of Roman Bath spas.


  • Note 1: A spoof of Spartacus.
  • Note 2: Guest starring Ronald Long as Montague Leach.
  • Note 3: CBS placed Get Smart on a rare nearly two-month hiatus after "Smartacus" due to its low ratings. The decision was made that the series would not be renewed after the last four episodes following, which were probably already in pre-production in that time.
13523"What's It All About, Algie?"Don AdamsArne Sultan and Chris HaywardApril 24, 1970 (1970-04-24)135

Max poses as a gardener to infiltrate a nursery that is selling plants with hidden surveillance bugs to key people in Washington. The nursery's owner, Algie DeGrasse, starts to suspect that Max is actually from CONTROL and plans to feed him to his newest acquisition: a giant man-eating plant.


13624"Hello, Columbus – Goodbye, America"Alan RafkinPat McCormickMay 1, 1970 (1970-05-01)136

CONTROL has learned that the direct descendant of Christopher Columbus, Gino Columbus, is the rightful owner of the United States. Max is assigned to guard Gino once he flies into Washington and meets with the President to sign the country back over. However, Max and Gino are captured by KAOS, who would prefer that Gino sign over America to KAOS.


13725"Do I Hear a Vaults?"Alan RafkinChris HaywardMay 8, 1970 (1970-05-08)137

The Chief meets Smart at a public library to recover a special book. The book is a master list of CONTROL agents but its hiding place has now been compromised. Max and Larrabee transport the book in an armored car to a bank vault, but Max accidentally locks the vault door on both the Chief and Larrabee. As the vault only has a limited amount of air, Max and 99 decide to get an imprisoned safecracker (named "Baffles", a spoof of Raffles) but come back with a convicted master forger instead. Will the Chief and Larrabee be freed in time?


13826"I Am Curiously Yellow"Nick WebsterLloyd Turner and Whitey MitchellMay 15, 1970 (1970-05-15)138

While investigating a villain known as the Whip, Max is hypnotized by his small and special Chinese gong to obey his every command at specific times. Max is eventually instructed to steal the NARCO 5–12, a powerful prototype weapon, from the Chief's safe. When the Chief confronts Max about the theft, he has no recollection of it.


  • Note 1: The title is a spoof of I Am Curious (Yellow), but as a possible reference to the "Yellow Peril" in the comic context of the episode.
  • Note 2: Series finale, the episode ends with Larabee using the gong to hypnotize the Chief and thereby securing promotions for himself.
