Me Creería usted
si le dijera que esta es la página en español dedicada a
Maxwell Smart, temible
operario del recontrespionaje. Esta es la serie de espías más premiada de
la época. Ha sido vista en más de 180 países. Su protagonista fué
galardonado con tres premios EMMY consecutivos (1966-67-68) convirtiéndose
en el primer actor que logra esa marca.

Actualización 26-01-09: Me gustaron los pequeños homenajes
que se hicieron en la película ,y ,entendiendo la época actual, tenemos
que pensar que la esencia de la serie se ha respetado, Steve Carrell
era el único que podia hacer ese papel, y Ann Hataway hace bien lo
suyo, pero sin duda lo mejor de la pelicula es el doblaje, jeje, con la
voz del Tata Arvizu, muy bueno!!, debemos darle las gracias a Warner.
En resumen me gustò y creo que la mayoria la disfrutó, vi chicos salir
riendo dl cine y gente de 30/40/50/60 que saliò contenta, y eso es
bueno, no se si da para la 2da parte, pero serà porque la esperamos
tanto que me siento contento de que la hayan podido hacer. En otro
orden de cosas, AVH ya saco las 5 temporadas con audio latino de la
serie y en AMAZON pueden conseguir los 7 episodios de GET SMART modelo
95 , como suelo definirlo yo, también con audio en español. El DVD de
las peliculas estan en AMAZON en ingles sin subtitulos, todavia no hay
una edicion de ninguna de las 2 películas en español. Por último,
les pido disculpas a todos por la larga demora en la actualizaciòn del
sitio, problemas personales me impidieron seguir actualizándolo mas
seguido. Actualización 10-04-08: Se viene la Pelicula de la serie!!! Ruben
Arvizu, hermano de Jorge, la persona que hizo el doblaje del Super
Agente en la serie original y que mucho tuvo que ver con el exito de la
misma va a hacer el doblaje de la nueva pelicula de Get Smart. Si
recuerdan en el pasado, las 2 secuelas (Nude Bomb y Get Smart Again!)
NO fueron dobladas por Jorge, esta seria la primera y me parece muy
buena idea. Espero que se concrete, ya que esa es la voz que todos los
fans de este lado del mundo identificamos con Maxwell Smart. Gracias
Ruben por darnos este dato y ojala que se termine concretando!!

OBITUARY September 25, 2005 Don
Adams, who gained worldwide fame and three Emmy Awards starring as
Agent 86, Maxwell Smart, in the classic television comedy GET SMART,
died at 8:02 p.m PDT, Sunday, September 25, 2005, at Cedars-Sinai
Hospital in Beverly Hills. He was 82. Although he had been in failing
health for more than two years due to bone lymphoma, his death resulted
from a sudden lung infection for which he was hospitalized the previous
day. Born Donald James Yarmy on April 13, 1923 [correct, despite
frequently reported erroneous dates] in New York City to
Irish-Hungarian parents, Adams hoped for an engineering career. He
joined the U.S. Marines in the early days of World War II and served as
a drill instructor. He saw combat in the days of World War II and
served as a drill instructor. He saw combat in the invasion of
Guadalcanal and was the only survivor of his platoon. He contracted
blackwater fever and nearly died, remaining hospitalized for more than
a year. Following the war, he embarked on a career as an
impressionist and stand-up comedian, appearing in small clubs in
Florida and Washington D.C. He married singer Adelaide Adams and took
her professional last name as his own stage name. In 1954, his stand-up
act, written with his boyhood friend Bill Dana, landed him a contestant
spot on ARTHUR GODFREY?S TALENT SCOUTS, which he won. This led to
scores of appearances on comedy and variety series such as THE STEVE
ALLEN SHOW and Ed Sullivan?s THE TOAST OF THE TOWN, and ultimately to a
regular job on THE PERRY COMO SHOW. He also played in stock and in 1962
starred with Anthony Perkins in the Broadway play HAROLD. Divorced
and remarried (to dancer Dorothy Bracken), Adams in 1963 reunited with
Bill Dana on THE BILL DANA SHOW, playing inept hotel detective Byron
with Bill Dana on THE BILL DANA SHOW, playing inept hotel detective
Byron Glick, a forerunner to his most famous characterization. NBC
placed Adams under contract and gave him the starring role in Mel
Brooks?s and Buck Henry?s spy spoof GET SMART. As the bumbling yet
intrepid secret agent Maxwell Smart, Adams was an instant success. With
his alluring straight-woman partner Agent 99 (Barbara Feldon), Adams
became a comic icon of the 1960s, popularizing dozens of catch-phrases
that still resound today: "Would you believe?", "Missed it by THAT much!", "...and LOVING it!" and "Sorry about that, Chief." Adams
reveled in the show and its popularity, and particularly enjoyed
writing and directing several episodes. GET SMART ran for five seasons
and brought Adams wealth, awards, and worldwide fame. At the same time,
he continued to achieve recognition as one of the funniest and most
popular stand-up comedians of his generation. Adams returned in a
new series in 1971, THE PARTNERS, which, though slightly more serious
than GET SMART, still had him playing a bumbling more serious than GET
SMART, still had him playing a bumbling law-enforcement officer. This
time he starred with Rupert Crosse, the two playing a pair of
none-too-bright detectives. The show lasted one season. Except for the
intriguing but unsuccessful DON ADAMS?S SCREEN TEST (a contest show in
which Adams directed famous stars and amateurs in scenes from classic
movies), he did not return to series television for fourteen years.
Instead he guest-starred on sitcoms, variety shows, and occasional TV
movies. He played Las Vegas showrooms and nightclubs, though he grew
increasingly reluctant to perform before live audiences. With the
distinctive voice of his on-screen persona, he had long been active in
voice-over work. Even during the GET SMART period he had been popular
among children as the voice of the animated TENNESSE TUXEDO, and later
was even more popular in his title role as INSPECTOR GADGET.
Divorced again, he married a third time in 1977 (to Judy Luciano).
During this period, Adams starred in and directed a number of
commercials, winning this period, Adams starred in and directed a
number of commercials, winning a CLIO Award for directing. In 1980, he
reluctantly returned to the Maxwell Smart character in a feature film,
THE NUDE BOMB, which he hated. He also brought the character briefly
back to television in the 1989 TV movie GET SMART, AGAIN! In 1985,
he returned to series television in a Canadian sitcom, CHECK IT OUT, in
which he played the manager of a supermarket. The show was popular
enough to run for three seasons on American TV, but it mainly provided
a paycheck for Adams and a co-starring role for a pre-NYPD BLUE Gordon
Clapp. In later years, he hoped for a chance at serious roles, of
which he had done many in his early years in summer stock. But the
opportunity never arrived. A role was actually written for him by
his son-in-law for the revived ALFRED HITCHCOCK PRESENTS in 1986, but
the producers feared he could not subsume his comedic persona, and the
role went to Martin Landau. Instead, he returned to the role that
had made him world famous, in a third revival of Maxwell Smart. The
1995 series version of GET SMART featured Adams as Smart, now promoted
to Chief of the secret agency CONTROL. Barbara Feldon also returned
as his wife and colleague, but instead of the couple who had made
television history, the show focused on the bumbling spy efforts of
their son Zach Smart. Only seven episodes aired before the new show was
cancelled. Adams spent the remainder of his career doing
commercials and voice work, mostly in new INSPECTOR GADGET productions.
In 1999, he made a cameo voice appearance in the live-action INSPECTOR
GADGET feature film starring Matthew Broderick as Gadget. Like his
brother, the late comedian Dick Yarmy, Adams was an inveterate
horse-player. His leisure time was largely spent either at racetracks
or in card games at the Playboy Mansion, and with pals such as Hugh
Hefner, James Caan, and Don Rickles. Divorced for the third time, he
lived alone in a luxury apartment in Century City. He was a devoted
history buff, and was an mateur expert on the lives of Abraham Lincoln
and Adolf Hitler. He was a talented poet and painter and had at one
time considered a career as an artist. His health declined in
recent years with the onset of lymphoma, but took a precipitous turn
for the worse following the death last year of his daughter,
actress-casting director Cecily Adams. In recent weeks he had declined
to continue medications or treatment for his ailments. Following his
emergency hospitalization on September 24, he was unable to breathe on
his own. As per his instructions, life-support systems were turned off
Sunday night. Two of his former wives and three of his children, as
well as other family members, were with him when he died. Adams is
survived by six of his seven children: Daughters Carolyn Steele (of
Pahoa, Hawaii), Christine Adams (of Elkridge, Maryland), Cathy Metchik
(of Henderson, Nevada), [Paramount TV executive] Stacey Adams, and
Beige Adams, and son Sean Adams (all of Los Angeles); by five of his
seven grandchildren (another is expected in November); and by three
great-grandchildren. There will be a private memorial service. Burial will be with Marine Corps honors at an undetermined location. Memorial
donations may be made to the Motion Picture & Television Fund, MPTF
Foundation,22212 Ventura Boulevard, Suite 300, Woodland Hills CA 91364. Actualización 18-09-05:Feliz
Cumple get Smart!!, 40 años, increíble, pocos lo han logrado. Como
regalo de cumpleaños a todos los fans de Maxwell Smart le decimos que a
principios de 2006 HBO esta planeando , por fin, sacar a la venta una
edicion de Get Smart en DVD, si como lo leyeron, la tan esperada salida
a la venta de los DVDs se producirá, Dios mediante, a principios de
2006. Actualización 08-08-05: Bienvenidos "Smartians",
Estamos llegando a los 40 años de sonrisas, carcajadas y alegrías
juntos con Maxwell Smart y compania. Pocas series han logrado tanto, yo
creo que salvo "Los 3 Chiflados", no hay otra serie que esté tan metida
en el corazón como El Super Agente 86 - "Get Smart". Cambiando el tema,
hace un tiempo ya el canal A&E Mundo en su ya clásico programa
"Biography" mostró la vida de Don Adams relatada en parte por el mismo,
es un material muy valioso para los fans, se cuenta mucho de su vida y
mucho también de como nació y se desarrolló el personaje de Maxwell
Smart. Altamente Recomendable...
Actualización 11-07-04:
Despues de casi un semestre, vuelvo a comunicarme con Uds. Hice una
revisión general del site, y realicé varias correcciones que habia
pendientes desde hace mucho tiempo, espero que las disfruten.
Desgraciadamente hay que comentar que una de las hijas de Don Adams,
Cecily, falleció el 3 de Marzo pasado, era una persona joven y muy
talentosa, fue directora del casting de That´s 70´s Show y de 3er Rock
from de Sun, a su familia, mis repetos en su dolor. Cambiando de tema,
me gustaría que los fans que quieran integrar una lista que voy a poner
en la página de fánaticos de todo el mundo me hicieran llegar sus datos
tales como nombre, mail y lugar de residencia. (24-11-03)Se
realizó el "The Get Smart Gathering", el 7 de Nov del 2003, en Barsac Brasserie.
A el mismo concurrieron todos los protagonistas de la serie, mas algunos
miembros del "crew", escritores, productores, etc. Don Adams, quien fue operado
de su rotura de cadera el 20 de Sep., también concurrió, aunque como todavia
esta en recuperación, se lo vió caminando con la ayuda de un trípode. Además de Don,
estuvieron Barbara Feldon, Bernie Kopell y William Shallert. También fue a la
reunión Alan Spencer, el creador de Sledge Hammer! y ultrafanático del 86.
Recomiendo
que visiten este site de "Martillo Hammer" creado por su realizador, el
Sr. Alan Spencer, un gran sujeto, que cuenta su pasión por Maxwell
Smart y como le agregó detalles y pequeños homenajes a nuestra serie en
sú serie; ademas nos presenta datos muy interesantes de como se armó el
proyecto "Sledge Hammer. (Solo hace un clic sobre el banner)
Entramos en nuestro quinto año de vida
junto a todos los fans de Maxwell, gracias a todos por la buena onda y por todo
el apoyo recibido, gracias a el canal Retro®
por tenernos en cuenta y a todos los que siempre aportan ideas para mejorar el
site.
