Been watching Hogan's Heroes and Get Smart with the kids. GS can either be hilarious, or a bit of a miss, but HH is consistently funny episode to episode.
Started watching Home Improvement again, and as based and funny as Tim Allen is, that stage two feminism can be really blatent and cringe now. Being ground zero for the "dumb male lead" is also disappointing in hindsight, though I still give it at least a small pass for being unique for the time.
It's certainly a strange prospect watching the show now though, as Tim Taylor in the show is now younger than I am.
Did you know about the opening "sight gag" in Get Smart that no one understood?
He drove a Sunbeam Alpine in Se.1 & 2, it could be considered a "sports car" when it had the big engine in it. It was mocking the James Bond cars, eh?
But no one got it, so they gave him a Karman Ghia (VW) in Se.3 &4. In NO way was that a "sports car" 😄 although it was adorable, but still no one "got it".
In Se.05 they gave him an Opel GT which was a good car, but IDK if they changed the opening from the Ghia or not. I think not.
Anyhow, it was a great show even if there were some "dud" episodes.
Oh yeah, I haven't watched it since I was a kid and actually had TV, but I fondly remember it as one of the funnier shows on. I'm just super confused about what the specific joke is that you were trying to explain. :p

I'm gonna be real, I'm more confused after reading your post than before.
Just saying that Get Smart was a terrific show. They had layers of funny! Most of it 'over the top' but subtle things too.

Love Hogan’s Heroes and Get Smart has some very funny jokes. I do notice that with Home Improvement but I’ll still watch a rerun when I come across it
