Sunday Safe Bet

Why it’s a Sunday Safe Bet

It's still drawing plenty of interest. A safe bet when you want something reliable.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Who'll love it: Made for anyone who wants a laugh and sci-fi fans. If you loved Malcolm in the Middle, start here.
The mood: Provocative satire that goes after everyone.
The pace: 5 seasons, but most episodes stand on their own, so you can dip in anywhere (about 25 minutes each).
What might put you off: Rated TV-PG: scary moments. Worth a look first if you have very young kids.
Made in 1965: an older pace and style.

Maxwell Smart, a hilariously inept and maladroit secret agent for CONTROL, battles the nefarious—though equally incompetent—KAOS.
