My husband was very happy with his gift of Get Smart. The packaging is the best!

My son and I got this for my husband's birthday. My son has watched tons and tons of episodes now. And quotes them at length. So this gift has paid for itself.

This is the best Get Smart collection out there. Of course, it's the only collection available, so maybe that's why. Seriously, if you're a Get Smart fan, you can't lose with this set. All the episodes are mastered in fairly good quality. There several commentaries per season and each season has an extras disc that mostly consists of interviews and past clips from awards shows and comments from the studio (lawyers?) on how to change certain scenes so that they don't get in trouble. The extras really were just that to me. I watched them all, but didn't really care for them, but the episodes were great.
The only thing I would've liked more of is commentaries. Unfortunately, the making of this set and when the show ended was so long ago that it made it difficult for the commentators to give insightful information about most of the episodes. In general, Barbara Feldon did a bunch of commentaries and she gave a lot of good comments. The worst one was when she teamed up with Buck Henry: Neither one of them really remembered the episode. Also, based on the comments, I think that the episode they teamed up to comment on, Buck Henry wasn't even around for, so they got distracted talking about other things instead. Buck Henry did a few other commentaries by himself and they were good, but more so because of what he said and not so much of what it had to do with the particular episode. Overall, if you can get it at a discount or as an Amazon's "Gold Box" deal, it's a great value. I got one for myself and for my brother. I'll probably look up the movies next (The Nude Bomb and Get Smart Again?). I won't bother with the Steve Carrell one.
A genuine classic from the 60's. June 29, 2009

What ever happened to Don Adams? The series "Get Smart" is typical Mel Brooks and although rather silly and somewhat "slap stick", the ideas are clever and the laughs continuous. Yes, t.v. has become "sophisticated" since 1965 but some gags will never die and will always bring a chuckle or smile. We would watch "Get Smart" every weekend. I was only 13 then but I'm enjoying the comedy now as much as we did then. This gets a number 1 of the three dvd series I recently purchased.

I loved this show when I was younger and it still holds up. Now I'm showing it to my sons and we laugh together. The "cone of silence" bits are priceless. The show itself is well presented with lead-ins by Barbara Feldon.
Note to buyers of this item...no matter WHO you buy it from, the other complaints about the difficult packaging are valid. The various seasons are nearly impossible to remove from the box without risking damage. The makers were obviously going for a clever tie-in to the opening of the show (with the different doors), but it's frustrating. Still worth the price.
