Get Smart - Season 1 (The Original TV Series)
»rank: 459
0ur opinion: :The feature film may have missed it by that much, but Get Smart, the TV series, still hits the target with deadly funny accuracy.

»rank: 6282
0ur opinion: :Come meet Mark Twain. 0K, true, the humorist has been dead for more years than we care to remember, and not many of us around today were alive to hear what he sounded like. But Hal Holbrook is so spectacular in his one-man performance that you could swear you were listening to Twain himself.
