How to watch Get Smart in order

Get Smart spoofed the spy craze with bumbling Agent 86 and his trusty shoe phone, leading to movies, a revival series and a Steve Carell reboot. Here's how to watch them in order.

Created by Mel Brooks and Buck Henry, Get Smart starred Don Adams as Maxwell Smart, a hopelessly inept secret agent for CONTROL, battling the evil organization KAOS alongside the far more competent Agent 99, played by Barbara Feldon. Its catchphrases, cone of silence and gadget gags made it a comedy classic. The franchise continued with a theatrical film, a reunion TV movie, a short-lived Fox revival and a 2008 big-screen reboot.

πŸ• Release Order

Release order traces the franchise from its 1960s heyday through the modern reboot and its spin-off.

  1. Get Smart (1965–1970)
  2. The Nude Bomb (1980)
  3. Get Smart, Again! (1989)
  4. Get Smart (1995)
  5. Get Smart (2008)
  6. Get Smart's Bruce and Lloyd: Out of Control (2008)

Don Adams's entries form one loose continuity, while the 2008 movie starts fresh with a new cast.

πŸ“– Story Chronology

The Nude Bomb and Get Smart, Again! continue Max's adventures after the original series, and the 1995 revival follows Max and 99's son Zach. The 2008 film, starring Steve Carell and Anne Hathaway, is a reboot, and Bruce and Lloyd: Out of Control takes place alongside it, following CONTROL's two lab techs.

  1. Get Smart (1965–1970)
  2. The Nude Bomb (1980)
  3. Get Smart, Again! (1989)
  4. Get Smart (1995)
  5. Get Smart (2008)
  6. Get Smart's Bruce and Lloyd: Out of Control (2008)

Which Order Should You Choose?

Start with the original series; its episodes are standalone, and the first seasons are packed with classic gags. If you love Don Adams, continue with Get Smart, Again!, which reunites much of the original cast. The 2008 film works perfectly on its own for newcomers, and Bruce and Lloyd is an optional spin-off for fans of the movie.
