As a kid I loved 60s American tv comedies but now I cant even look at them any more, except for one!
Get Smart is as funny now as when I first saw it and is Mel Brooks & Buck Henry's best TV work.
Don Adams and the split second editing are spot on, each time, every time. You can almost see the stop watch making sure every punchline hits with maximum effect. Also unlike many american comedies of the era the comedy is often physical so it is universaly funny regardless of your language.
The rest of the cast is excellent as well even the dog. Everyone is both smart & stupid, brave & cowardly.
A strange combination of Pink Panther & James Bond that steam rolled along until sadly the last season which definitely started to run out of steam. But... The first four season are pure gold;)
