Get Smart

Get Smart è una serie televisiva comica americana che satireggia il genere degli agenti segreti. Creata da Mel Brooks con Buck Henry, la serie è interpretata da Don Adams, Barbara Feldon e Edward Platt. Henry ha detto che hanno creato lo show su richiesta di Daniel Melnick, che era socio, insieme a Leonard Stern e David Susskind, della società di produzione dello show, la Talent Associates, per capitalizzare "le due cose più grandi nel mondo dell'intrattenimento di oggi" - James Bond e l'Ispettore Clouseau. Brooks ha dichiarato: "È una combinazione pazzesca di James Bond e della comicità di Mel Brooks". Questa è l'unica produzione di Mel Brooks a contenere una colonna sonora.
