"Get Smart" was conceived in response to the James Bond mania of the mid-1960s. Two young writers, Mel Brooks and Buck Henry, wrote the pilot script. It featured Maxwell Smart as an agent for CONTROL, a top-secret government agency whose mission was to thwart KAOS, an international organization of evil.
This spy, however, was different. He wasn't one of the suave secret agents who populated the tube at the time, such as Danger Man, the men from U.N.C.L.E. or The Avengers.
To play Smart, the producers chose Don Adams, a standup comic and actor. Barbara Feldon, an actress, model and dancer, was cast as his sidekick, Agent 99. The role of the Chief of CONTROL went to Edward Platt, a veteran character actor.
Premiering on Sept. 18, 1965, the show quickly became a hit. It won seven Emmys over its five-year run as it spoofed the Cold War by mixing slapstick with show business in-jokes, subtle Yiddishisms and wacky gadgets such as a shoe phone. The catchphrases entered the American lexicon. Adams, Feldon and Platt became national celebrities.
As the spy craze waned, so seemed the energy of the show. Despite Max and 99's marriage during sweeps week in 1968, NBC canceled Get Smart at the end of the 1968-69 season. CBS picked the show up for the following season, but even the birth of the Smart twins could not save it from cancellation in 1970.
