Season 2, Episodes 1-4

 On to Season Two! Now a legitimate hit, the show seemed to have a bit of a bigger budget this season.

Episode 1: Anatomy of a Lover

Some of the books on the Chief's shelf are California law books from West Publishing.

Here's a closer look.

Max has many electronics magazines, and we can read the company name on the yellow-green back cover of the closest magazine - Littelfuse. Littelfuse manufactures fuses and other electronic parts. Founded in Chicago in 1927, the company is approaching its 100th anniversary.

From this angle we can see the tagline - Faster than a Short Circuit.

Here's the full ad.

Lots more electronics books and magazines, plus the bag of sugar - B&F? That might be a prop label.

From this shot we can see a couple of the books up close - looks like the same photo with two different colors. Maybe someone recognizes it?

Episode 2: Strike While the Agent is Hot

A Pan Am plane is visible in the airfield shot.

Here we have another prop newspaper with a well-used headline: "Hospital Fund Reaches Goal; Building to Start Next Month". It's even used in another Get Smart episode (The Whole Tooth And...).

The headline can also be seen in prop newspapers in I Love Lucy . . . 

. . . The Twilight Zone . . . 

. . . Goodyear Theatre . . . 

. . . The Carol Burnett Show . . . 

. . . and The Godfather, in the newspaper montage assembled by a young George Lucas.

A couple of things to note in the image below. One is the information card on the payphone - the same card appears on most payphones in the series. The other is the Hawaii print. Pretty much all of the Hawaii decor got used multiple times, but the extended phone booth scene in this episode shows them off particularly well. Each of the two phone booths have two prints of Hawaii paintings done by John Melville Kelly in 1943. Here we have Hula Dancer.

Big Surf at Waikiki.

 

Healani.

 

Fisherman.

 

The map poster outside the phone booths is also seen multiple times. It was produced by the SS Leilani Hawaii Steamship Company.

Here's the full poster.

In the bookstore we can see a General Chemistry textbook.

I like that they actually made a prop book for She Couldn't Say No.

Lots of books on the bookshelf behind Max that someone can probably identify. The only one I could conclusively make out was Let the People Know, written by Norman Angell in 1943.

 

More books visible behind the KAOS agent. I could make out Curtain Calls, written by Jack Gaver in 1949.

 

Episode 4: The Only Way to Die

This was a big episode for prop newspapers. "Newly Zoned Area Results in 150 More Building Permits" got a lot of use, and seems to have had a particularly long life. It's always in a box, making it easy to spot.

Seen on: Mission Impossible

The Twilight Zone

The Invaders

The Andy Griffith Show

The Barefoot Executive

The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries

Into the 1980s, with the prop paper held by Darryl Waltrip after winning the 1982 Winston Cup.

A 1986 episode of General Hospital.

The 1987 movie Death Wish 4.

And even as late as 1996, in Vows of Deception.

The second newspaper has "Buyers of Residences Become More Active, With Purchases Heavy". This one has only a couple of other recorded instances that I could find: 

The Fugitive (the same Newspaper from a couple of posts ago)

Beyond a Reasonable Doubt

That's it for the prop newspapers!
