Smart Fell on Alabama aired on 31 October, 1969. It was written by Lloyd Turner and Gordon Mitchell.

Maxwell Smart (Don Adams) finds himself working and training some convicts so that they can break into a mansion, and help him steal a codebook to keep it out of a KAOS agent’s, Colonel Kyle K. Kirby (John Dehner) – KKK? – , hands. Coincidentally? Kirby looks a lot like Sanders.

Smart and his team go through a lot of training, and it, of course, indulges in a lot of comedy.

And once again, because of her pregnancy, 99 (Barbara Feldon) is sidelined for most of the episode. But her contractions may have started.

Again, this one leans more towards the goofy, but it does have a sense of fun to it. And how much would you like to bet that the codebook may in fact be a recipe?

There’s torture, bullwhips, and lots of goofiness. There’s not much in the way of gadgets in this one, but I do like the fact that the episode kind of skewers KFC, though Kirby is a little problematic. He admits that he still has at least one slave. Ugh.

Season five really hasn’t been my favourite.

And Baby Makes Four: Part 1, well I guess by the title that it’s almost time for 99 to have the baby.

Don Adams directs while Arne Sultan and Chris Hayward delivered the script. It dbuted on 7 November, 1969.

Max is ready for all eventualities to get to the hospital for the delivery. He even has a map. But when he mistakenly swaps maps with that of a KAOS agent, Simon the Likeable (Jack Gilford), he’s going to end up at the wrong hospital.

Will he be able to get 99 there in time? And where’s her mother, and the Chief (Edward Platt)?

The episode opens with a trial run, which is pretty fun, and also sets up that Max doesn’t know what hospital he’s looking for in the first place.

So he’s going to goof this one up… a lot. It seems everyone falls under Simon’s spell, he’s just so likable! And then there’s the map switch, so they end up in a KAOS hospital and…

Oh, and hey! There’s Dana Elcar! He plays Kruger, who is running the hospital. He’s figured out that Max has Simon’s map, and they are preparing 99 for… delivery? We end up on a To Be Continued as we see an insidious needle getting prepared.

And Baby Makes Four: Part 2 aired a week later on 14 November, 1969. Sultan and Hayward scripted it and Adams directed.

Max and 99 are going to have to escape KAOS headquarters/hospital, all while 99 is in labour. Max has to face off against Kruger and other agents.

They get trapped in self-locking closets, come under gunfire and struggle to find a way out.

At the proper hospital, the Chief is waiting, Simon the Likeable is there, and so is 99’s mother (Jane Dulo).

Once Max and 99 get there, 99 is whisked away to a hospital room, while a confrontation between CONTROL and KAOS agents takes over the waiting room. The fight gets interrupted constantly with updates from the delivery room.

In the end, the baby, make that babies are delivered. A boy and a girl.

It’s cute and simple. It really didn’t need to be a two-parter. And as mentioned before, it’s interesting that the characters have grown over the course of the series, and there have been changes that affect the storyline.

That being said, I am really not enjoying this season as much as the others, so far.
