Get Smart Again: The Movie (DVD, 2004)

GET SMART....No, That's Not A Command... It Was a Comic Book!

And a TV Show... and a Theatrical Movie.... and a Toy Line....

Originally 'Get Smart' was an American comedy television series. It satirized the then popular secret agent genre that was started by the James Bond novels and movies.

The 'Get Smart' TV show ran on the NBC television network from 1965 to 1969, and then on CBS from 1969 to 1970, airing a total of 138 different episodes!

It was such a hit that it was my high school English Teacher who requested my class to watch the show... which my folks didn't really believe was part of my high school 'homework' !!

The TV series, which was written and created by Mel Brooks and Buck Henry, won seven Emmy Awards and was also nominated for an additional fourteen Emmys and two Golden Globe Awards during its' long TV run.

Dell Comics published a comic book series for eight issues during 1966 and 1967, some of which were drawn by Steve Ditko, co-creator of the Amazing Spider-Man!

In 1980 the theatrically released 'The Nude Bomb' (also known as The Return of Maxwell Smart or Maxwell Smart and the Nude Bomb) was popular.

Later the made-for-TV movie 'Get Smart, Again!' was shown in 1989 on the ABC network. (That is what this DVD is about... and it is a good one for Get Smart Fans! The old team still works wonders in this movie!)

However, ABC lost out on a short lived 1995 weekly series when the FOX TV network aired 'Get Smart' with Don Adams and Barbara Feldon reprising their characters, as their bumbling son, Zach (Andy Dick), becomes CONTROL's new star agent.

As a historical footnote....with the final revival series on Fox, 'Get Smart' became the first television franchise to air new episodes on all of the current four major American television networks, NBC,CBS, ABC and then FOX!

This DVD is a positive addition to anyone collecting Get Smart memorabilia!

I bought this movie because I LOVED the TV series Get Smart. This movie relives some great one-liners. It also revives some old and beloved characters, such as Hymie. The only thing that was odd was to see the characters age. For example, Agent 86 has some grey hair. If you loved the show, you will love the movie.

Great to see Agents 99 and 86 again.The movie is not quite as good as the Series but its still pretty darn good.Don Adams continues to excel with his unique brand of humour and Barbara Feldon continues to be the perfect person to join Max in his insurmountable craziness.

its don adams if you like the old get smart buy it! if you don't like get smart don't buy there are other movies also
