This show ranks right up there as one of the all time best TV comedies. Originally recorded in the mid to late 60s, it is just as funny today as it was then. Before Austin Powers, there was Get Smart -the original spy parody. Much better than the recent movie.

When the classic 60s television sitcom 'Get Smart' finally made its official debut on DVD, it was a real dream come true for everybody who enjoys this timeless show. The program has lost absolutely none of its appeal; it is just as much fun to watch now as it was when it first hit the airwaves during the mid-60s. As far as I am concerned, Don Adams was born to play the role of Maxwell Smart Agent 86. His personality and mannerisms perfectly fit this timeless character. Barbara Feldon makes a definitiive Agent 99 (whose actual name is never revealed once throughout any of the 138 episodes). Edward Platt was the right choice to play The Chief. Although he continually gets fed up with Maxwell Smart's consistent bumbling, you could see deep down that he actually admired and respected him very much. With CONTROL outsmarting KAOS at every turn, it is nice to know that 'Get Smart' has helped to make our DVD players safer for all time!

I remember when I was a kid in the 90's Watching Get Smart reruns on Nick @Nite and Loving it.
Then when they took it off that channel I was disappointd, I thought I'd never see it again. But thank God I was wrong. When I found out Time Life released the whole series on DVD I couldn't wait to buy them. Getting the first season I watched every episode and I loved them. It was like going back into my childhood, and I found this show is timeless. You can be a kid and love it and you can be an adult and still laugh at Maxwell Smart's crazy antics. The catchphrases you can't help but imitate and laugh at like "Sorry About That Chief", "Missed It By That Much, And Loving It, and of course Would You Believe.
This collection is a must buy for any Get Smart or Don Adams fan.

Most crime shows follow the same formula, with the start of the show where the drama begins to unfold. They may show a would be suspect, giving an idea where it could've taken place.
The dogooder is often skillful at his craft. Violence comes into play. Yes, you can't have a crime show, without it. There had to of been evil doings. Don't forget the flashed badges, before the credits rolled!
Maxwell Smart needs luck, and fellow agent pals to get the pat on the back.
Smart is no egotistical fellow. Kind hearted, he falls into many traps, set up by the forces of KAOS. He is putting other agents in trouble, including his chief.
In trying to protect the agency, Max suggests using their malfunctioning spy devices.
The tools are of no help, example the booth. The chief cannot understand Max, nor Max can hear him. Both need to scream.
Also, the see through plastic doesn't lift properly.
This is an on going gag, for the show, throughout the seasons!

Warning. Do not buy this through Timelife. Amazon will eventually release it. Just wait a while. Timelife stole my money when they did not send the product. Timelife ignored phone calls and letters and lied to me. Timelife staff were useless, always with excuses!
I am sure Timelife do not rip everyone off. That would be foolish and they would stay in business long if they did that. Maybe Timelife just have a policy to rip the occasional customer off so they won't get caught as fraudsters?
Be warned!
