 Would You Believe... July 11, 2005
11 out of 12 found this review helpful
Get Smart will always hold a spot in my heart. I originally watched it in my middle school years on Nick At Nite. I managed to get some friends interested and we would quote Agent 86 during our lunch periods. It's just one of those shows which is best enjoyed with friends.
From the opening ditty as Don Adams strides down the hallway of doors to the final punchline, "Get Smart" is always a pleasure to watch. The jokes are still funny, the gags still hold up, and Maxwell Smart's famous, "Sorry about that, Chief" will still bring a smile to your face. With Don Adams, Barbara Feldon, Bernie Kopell, Robert Karvelas, and (of course) Edward Platt, it's a cast that can't be beat. This is easily one of the funniest television series I've ever seen.
Now all we need is a DVD release. For those that are interested, an online DVD petition can be found at wouldyoubelieve dot com.

I think it's about time this series was immortalised on DVD, to leave it in the cone of silence would be criminal! Countless one-liners, sight gags, great cast, this is a fantastic show that I've grown up on, and loving it!
Unfortunately, the 1989 movie and the remake of the TV series missed it by that much, but hopefully from the sad news of Don Adam's death today, will come the old "sentimental DVD release" trick.
RIP Don, thanks for the laughs.

Time-Life is the sole distributor of the entire five season dvd set of Get Smart for the first year. They may be pre-ordered for $199.99 directly from the Time-Life website and will be shipped November 15, 2006. They will NOT be available in stores until Fall of 2007 and at that time they will sell individual seasons as well as the entire series. I ordered mine!
Get Smart - Five Seasons of DVDs December 2, 2006
17 out of 20 found this review helpful
I received the DVD set from TimeLife this past week. I'm on Disk 4 of Season 1, and these are my observations so far. They have done a first rate job! It was worth the wait. The pictures and sound are very clear. There are lots of bonus features, including commentary on the pilot episode by creators Mel Brooks and Buck Henry (an individual commentary by each). Barbara Feldon does a short introduction of each episode if chosen through the Episode menu (as opposed to Play All). I won't go into all the bonus features here, as they would take up a LOT of room. You can see those on the TimeLife site. Order up and get ready for some belly laughs.
The Old Bare Bones Relase In The Boxset Trick... June 16, 2008
22 out of 27 found this review helpful
"Would you believe Get Smart Season One hits stores the first week of August?"
"I find that very hard to believe"
"Would you believe all the bonus features have been removed from the Time Life set?"
"I don't think so."
"How about a cheap version of Season One with all of the great episodes and no extras for $24.99!"
Yup, that's what the dim bulbs at HBO are doing. Season One, bonus feature free, comes out August 5th. Now the episodes are priceless. I know from the Time Life collection that the picture quality is nothing short of stunning. But the bonus features for this series are what really set it head and shoulders above other vintage TV releases.
Here's what's NOT in the retail release of Season One:
1.Buck Henry interview
2."The Secret History of Get Smart"
3.Adams TV appearances (6 of these)
4.BLOOPERS
5.Excerpts from the Get Smart Reunion Seminar (2003) with Adams and Feldon plus producers, directors and Bernie Kopell talking about the show.
and, probably, no commentaries. And there are 2 on this set.
This is hours of content not included. Wouldn't surprise me if they are saving all this stuff for the big series collection after all the single seasons have been released.
It's a shame they have to remove all this great stuff.
But the show is fantastic and finally on DVD. Completely remastered. I know from having watched all of Season One (I just finished Season Three) that the picture is stunningly clear and sharp. They went to town on the episodes. And Season One has the original pilot that is not shown in syndication because it was done in black and white.
Great show! Better than the lame "re-imagining" that's coming on Friday.
Get Smart hitting stores should be joyous news, but with this bare bones edition, it's a bit of a downer. I can't recommend the show highly enough though. And the Time Life version is a darn near perfect DVD release.
