Siegfried as a character would not have worked as well on an independent show. In the world of Get Smart he was perfect. A little Siegfried goes a long way. Too much of him and his gags would have gone stale.

@@Confused_Philosopher Dude. Have you watched any TV in the last 20 years? Siegfried is Shakespeare compared to the shit on now.

Yeah, really!

This episode was in the 4th season. Mel Brooks & Buck Henry had absolutely nothing to do with it.

Mel Brooks was only involved in the show's original conception, but had nothing to do with it after the first series. Buck Henry stayed on as story editor until 1967 and had nothing to do with the show after that.oth tyheir names remained in the credits because they were the original creators of the show, plus having big names in the credits helped when dealing with the networks. However, when you watch Don Adams stand up and sketch routines in the years before Get Smart, a lot of his comedy catch phrases and Max Smart mannerisms had already been developed by him long before the TV show. As a result, we should not forget the role Adams had in developing the comedic style of the show. Don Adams was also a writer and director on the show. We could say he was more in "Control" of the show than just being an actor following scripts. To a much lesser extent, Bernie Kopell had a lot to do with the comedic qualities of KAOS. Catch phrases such as "We don't shoosh in KAOS" were invented by Kopell. We should also remember that the show was a deliberate spoof of James Bond, and that was the brief given to Mel Brooks by the network. As a result a lot of the styling of the show, such as a head of a shadowy security organization (the chief = M, incidentally, in one Get Smart episode we discover that the Chief's code name is "Q.") KAOS = Spectre, Carlson = Q. Thus the basic framework of the show already existed in the James Bond Movies. Thus, while Brooks and Henry get the lion's share of the credit for the show, their role is smaller than generally assumed, and Adams, who rarely gets any credit for the development and comedic style of the show, deserves to be acknowledged for his large contribution.

Wait really? And he was still as hilarious as he was? Cool

​@@upthedownescalator630 Don contracted Blackwater Fever, and was laid up for a year.

Smart's plane is a Nieuport 28, though, unlike Snoopy's "Sopwith Camel".

Upon further research, it's a Garland-Lincoln LF-1 reproduction made to represent a generic WW1 fighter for Hollywood.

Ja never seen this ep before!

My parents liked to go to Rhinebeck New York but Aldous Huxley's "Rocket Plane Engineers" where newest film version has Demi Morre to portray Linda and a Black Lady to portray Mustapha Mond did open cockpit better without having to resort to how 1935 to 1945 WWII was mythologized since original dystopia had a German victory during WWII via anthrax rockets. Still it was the United States who had herbicidal germ warfare against agricultural farms and against asphalt for foreign trade not Honecker's DDR Stassi.
