Get Smart Get Smart Get Smart is an American comedy television series that satirizes the secret agent genre that had recently become popular. It was created by Mel Brooks with Buck Henry, and had its television premiere on NBC on September 18, 1965. The show stars Don Adams (who also worked as a director on the series) as agent Maxwell "Max" Smart, a.k.a. Agent 86, Barbara Feldon as Agent 99, and Edward Platt as Thaddeus, the Chief. Henry said that they created the show at the request of Daniel Melnick to capitalize on "the two biggest things in the entertainment world today":
Get Smart the doctor on "Love Boat" was played by Bernie Kopell, who played Siegfried on "Get Smart." In 1982, Adams starred in a series of local commercials for New York City electronics chain Savemart as Maxwell Smart. The slogan was "Get Smart. Get SaveMart Smart." In addition, Adams starred in a series of commercials for White Castle in 1992, paying homage to his "Get Smart" character with his catch phrase "Would you believe...?" In the 1980s, Adams provided the (similar) voice of a bungling cyborg secret agent in the animated series "Inspector Gadget." This later became a feature film in 1999
