   #6 - Leadside

   S4:E233/8/1969

   Wheelchair bound mastermind Leadside is caught in a robbery by Max and announces a three-part plan. Phase one, he will escape from Max. Phase two, he will destroy CONTROL. Phase three, he will kill Maxwell Smart. After Leadside follows through on Phases One and Two, Max holes up in his apartment, vowing "Leadside will only complete Phase Three over my dead body." This is one of my favorite episodes and Ronald Long is brilliant as Leadside. "My mother gave me Norman." The wheelchair in the back of the truck bit is still side-splittingly funny.

   #7 - The Apes of Rath

   S5:E1011/28/1969

   Several agents have been murdered by someone with incredible strength. The only clue is an empty banana peel. It is soon deduced that the killer is an ape. CONTROL agents are receiving bananas in the mail and then being murdered, completely puzzling CONTROL. What they don't know is KAOS is using Chucko, an ape made to look like a human being, as the assassin. The plot thickens when Max receives a banana in the mail and a new agent, Chuck Armstrong, is assigned as his protector. Unfortunately, Armstrong is actually Chucko the Ape. Before Max discovers Armstrong's real identity, Armstrong reverts back to Chucko and takes 99 to the roof of Max's building, just like in King Kong.
