Where To Watch
Sorry Millennials, only Boomers can match these gadgets to the right Sixties spy shows
Gizmos from cameras to communicators were disguised as everyday objects in these Sixties spy series.
With the exploding popularity of the James Bond film franchise and the Cold War looming in the real world, espionage thrillers became a staple on TV in the late 1960s. The tropes and characteristics of spy shows were so well known that comedies like Get Smart got by entirely on poking fun at the more serious adventures taking place on series like Mission: Impossible and The Man from U.N.C.L.E.

12/12!
* These shows all had their clever spy-gimmicky devices BUT MacGyver could make his own from something as simple as a rubber-band and a paper-clip!

10 for 12
Not bad for someone who didn’t watch any of these shows very much.

TVLAND over 20 years ago sold actual working shoe phones as a tie in when it ran Get Smart.
The network then had wit and style, with THE best commercials for it's series on TV.
It has lost it's way, I know of no one who still tunes in.
They should study MeTV Plus, what a great line up!
Talk about well written TV shows, they have Route 66 and Family back to back.
8 out of 12.

9/12 Out of those 3 shows I've only ever watched Get Smart!
9/12
None of these can hold a candle to my official Captain Midnight Decoder Ring with a built-in compass and whistle.

Did you get it from a cereal box or send away for it?
I used the hard currency that was standard of the 1950's .... Box tops.
Yeah, MeTV should do nostalgia themed story just on "box tops" alone!
That and "Blue Chip" (or Green) Stamps were a currency unto themselves. Can you imagine anyone in this day and age having the patience to fill up a book of Blue Stamps to buy anything!

After 60+ years of inflation, one would need a small truck to carry enough old stamp books needed to redeem a toaster.
LOL
8 out of 12. 😊😊😊😊😊
There are so many comments about #9, the LN picture tripping up people from not guessing GS. I don't even remember the GS episode and we watched the series every single week (on CBS). But LN had a particular appearance on M:I. Almost trademark costuming and hair. Unless he was masquerading within the inside M:I plot itself. And the background just isn't that of M:I either, also designed with a particular "look" (props, color and lighting).
A 30 minute (comedy) show is going to have a different approach (cheaper) to its look and feel than M:I's quest for establishing the atmosphere, locale and dramatic/suspense-filled purpose.

Nine out of twelve. For two of the ones I missed my second choice was the right one, but that robot arm? Would never have guessed.
9 out of 12 not bad for someone who didn't watch the shows.
9 out of 12...yeah, I knew Nimoy was a bad guy on Get Smart, but for spying, I think of him first and foremost with Mission: Impossible.
10/12. Used visual clue Nimoy on Get Smart.
