NBC Fall Preview 55 years ago (1965)

NBC presented their 1965-6 fall lineup to their affiliates---and shown on said affiliates---with what can be thought of as a demo reel for Get Smart. Series star Don Adams (ex-The Bill Dana Show), in character as Maxwell Smart, is our host.

As for the rest of the freshman class? We've already discussed the following:

The Dean Martin Show
The Wackiest Ship in The Army
My Mother The Car
Please Don't Eat The Daisies
I Dream of Jeannie
Camp Runamuck
I Spy
Mona McCluskey
Run For Your Life

We're on the lookout for these:

The John Forsythe Show
Hank
Convoy

As we begin, Max is at a theatre when he's interrupted by the embarrassing ringing of his shoe phone....



Clever and innovative, buzzwords that fit perfectly with Get Smart.

Rating: B.
