“Get Smart” On Decades

The television  show “Get Smart,” with such writers as Mel Brooks and Buck Henry was a big hit, premiering over 50 years ago.  This weekend, the television channel, “Decades” is running a “Get Smart” binge.

Late last night early this morning I watched and marveled at the comedic timing of star Don Adams with guest stars Carol Burnett and Bernie Kopell, the latter in a recurring guest role.

Add the solid performances of Ed Platt and Barbara Feldon and I remember why I liked the show so much in years past.

It is worth some time today to tune into “Get Smart” on “Decades.”

Years before mobile phones were a reality, Don Adams pictured above as agent “Maxwell Smart” used a “shoephone” on the fictional show a spoof, of secret agents.
