Mel Brooks was at the height of his movie mastery in 1975 (just after "Blazing Saddles" and "Young Frankenstein") when he dabbled in TV with this 13-episode Robin Hood spoof. "Get Smart" grads Dick Gautier and Bernie Kopell star. Though still only sporadically funny, their gag-com certainly delivers great guests -- Sid Caesar, Dick Van Dyke, Dudley Moore, Lainie Kazan, Paul Williams.
