Get Smart

Get Smart is a seriously funny show. It really is. I fear I am greatly in favor of shows that display non-crude slapstick humor. Anyway, yes, I do think Get Smart was good. heh.

One would never have thought that a spy agency thwarting a nucular strike would be this much fun. Here, we have a bumbling agent being let into the position he's been yearning for...for like pretty much all his professional existence. Pairs up with this seriously hot veteran agent, and wind up being a grand dynamic duo to prevent a nucular disaster by a nasty terrorist organization.

It's nice, how they reflected the jock/geek rivalry even in the agency. It's even better how they contrasted the academic prowess of dear Smart with the practical experience of Agent 99. Naturally, I'd be rooting for the academic =p And 99's hawwtness. Unfortunately, I am hardly well positioned to evaluate this show in relation to the 1965 series.

Overall I'd say this was a barrel of laughs, and I appreciate that even the jokes laced with innuendo were far from standard potty humor. That really made my day, alongside the spoofs of James Bond'esque gadgetry. I'd say...7.5/10?
