Get Smart (2008) vs. the Original TV Show

Exploring bits from the 2008 movie that are reminiscent of the original TV show, just for the sake of comparison.

All copyrights are retained by the original owners - I make no claim to them. The purpose of this video is purely for the sake of comparison/contrast, to educate the public on the history of the Get Smart franchise, to make a point of the franchise's rich and varied humor, and to encourage discussion. I post only in hopes that tis may be considered a 'fair use' of the original works, and with no intention to promote any one version over the other.

The Cone is still funny, even if it's not hallow like it used to be. Is Max getting hurt in there? Or is he saying "out" as loud as he can?

[CL0USEAU]

sounds like "Ow!" to me... i always thought he was just being silly, though, rather than really being in pain... who knows?

[girlieandbubblez]

does any one know where i can watch episodes of get smart???? i used to watch them on kdoc but they replaced it with stupid star treck n now inm dying to watch it

[CL0USEAU]

sadly, hardly any station in the US is showing Get Smart anymore... fortunately, the complete series is now available on DVD! ;-)

[nairobi26]

What if the movie had the original actors from TV series?

How much better would the movie be?

[CL0USEAU]

maybe you'll find your answer in the made-for-TV "Get Smart Again"... that's the closest i guess we'll ever get, now that Don Adams is gone...

[Drevilrocks]

I liked the movie but no one can replace the orignal show.

[BMan100]

the movie makes you want to look at the orginal series

[bmonkey14]

The original is way better than any of the movies or the 90's tv show

I'm only 30yr old and I grew up watching get smart on nick at nite

This is why remakes are a bad idea.

[HerrEllsworth]

I think the movie payed a great deal of homage to the original series. The movie wasn't that bad in that respect. Steve Carell was the only choice among current A-listers who could have played Maxwell Smart. However, the tv series is an icon.

[JustJokingYou]

The TV series is way better!

[LordoftheJimmy]

No contest, the original is genius, the new movie is crap!

[WackdProductions]

4:14 I love the Chief's weariness when he says "the Cone of Silence?" He knows what's coming, poor guy.

[WackdProductions]

Say what you want about the merits of the film--I personally thought the movie was okay--but there is one area where it blows the original out of the water and that is the door sequence. By comparison, the original's fanfare falls a bit flat and the special effects certainly are nowhere as good.

[Breitbach22]

the original is a lot better

[Nickcat5]

There is NO comparing he 'old' and 'new. The old is far superior!!!
