Get Smart (Seasons 1–5)

Get Smart (1965) is the American spy-comedy series you can watch online on iFILM. Mel Brooks and Buck Henry created it for CBS with a clear brief: take James Bond's cool and Inspector Clouseau's incompetence, mash them together, and let Don Adams run with it. The result was Maxwell Smart — Agent 86 of the secret government agency CONTROL, and the most confidently useless spy on television.

Smart's nemesis is KAOS, an organisation of roughly equal bumbling, and his missions would fail spectacularly every single time if not for his sharper partner Agent 99, played by Barbara Feldon. Their Chief, Edward Platt, receives each debriefing with the expression of a man counting down to retirement.

Five seasons, 138 episodes, and a shoe-phone that entered pop culture permanently. Get Smart ran from 1965 to 1970 and later inspired two films and a 2008 feature remake. For anyone who likes their comedy dry and their spy plots cheerfully absurd, it still plays. Stream all episodes of Get Smart online on iFILM.
