Get Smart

Maxwell Smart

Agent 99

Chief

Larabee

Woman at the Airport

In the final season, Max and 99 have twins, a boy and a girl. The boy is likely the individual who grows up to be Zach Smart in the later revival Get Smart (1995).

In 1965, before the show went on the air, the publicity firm of Rogers & Cowan send a series of five sealed envelopes to America's top television critics. Each was stamped 'Top Secret' and contained a vital message from Maxwell Smart. The first read: "Sssh!". The second provided instructions for deciphering the enclosed message embossed on an enclosed pin. The third required a 'cigarette lighter or matches used judiciously' to reveal the invisible message. The fourth read: 'Je was linker om iemand anders te nemen om je dit voor te laten lezen" which is Dutch for "You would have been smarter to ask someone else to read this aloud for you". The fifth included a photograph of Max, 99 and Fang with their eyes blocked out with black rectangles and a caption that read 'A scene from ____ at ____ on ____".

Inspired in part by The Man from U.N.C.L.E. (1964). Barbara Feldon guest-starred on the earlier series as an UNCLE agent.

Maxwell Smart: Would you believe...

Maxwell Smart: Sorry about that, Chief.

Maxwell Smart: [running gag, after being warned by the Chief that his next assignment will be the most dangerous yet] ... And loving it!
