Get Smart

Get Smart is a sitcom which ran from 1965 until 1970, a spy spoof centered on Maxwell Smart, a bumbling but confident agent of CONTROL. The series made heavy use of running gags (such as Max's shoe phone) and catch phrases. These included "Would you believe...?," Max reacting to a name or word and then adding "What's the [word]?," and Max saying "Don't tell me that..." After another character confirms, he petulantly states "I asked you not to tell me that!"
