A quote from the director of the Cell and the Fall

“Get Smart,” which we thought was a serious series. For our bag, it was not over the top to have a guy who was so cool that he had a phone in his shoe, because the problem was in Iran, they took out the laugh track and the guy spoke in Persian. So we didn’t know it was supposed to be funny. Coming from a background where a dog could have a flashback in the middle of a serious plot and you’re not supposed to laugh, this was not over the top at all. So seeing all this stuff like “Batman,” they were never kitsch enough for us. To parody something to someone who grew up on Hindi movies, it would be like trying to parody professional wrestling.
