Summary: At Last !!
Comment: I was in no hurry to pay the $200 Time-Life price for the whole series and patiently waited for a wider distribution and a lower price. Finally I was rewarded with Season 1 at a bargain intro price on Amazon.com. Sure there's some missing bonus material but really it's all about the show and the episodes. I'll be first in line for the remaining 4 seasons to complete the set at less than half the original price.
Make no mistake this is one of the funniest shows ever done, headed by the genius of Buck Henry, Mel Brooks and Leonard Stern. It holds up well so many years later, and even my 15-year old daughter is hooked.

Summary: Get Smart
Comment: This is an excellent TV show that is funny and overwhelmingly entertaining. It can basically be described as a spoof on James Bond. The episodes are well written and run between twenty-one and twenty-three minutes.

Summary: "Would you believe?"
Comment: The brainchild of Buck Henry (HEVEN CAN WAIT) and Mel Brooks (BLAZING SADLES, YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN, SPACE BALLS, yadda, yadda, yadda), the funniest take on the James Bond craze starring Don Adams as the bumbling and incompetent Control agent 86 Maxwell Smart, Barbara Feldon as his sidekick Agent 99 and Ed Platt as the Chief. The show had all kinds of goofy devices: a phone entrance to Control Headquarters, a shoe phone communicator, the "Cone of Silence", etc. Clever catch phrases like, "Would you believe?" "Missed by that much." The first season is a hoot as every thing is brand new. Later seasons would start to falter.

Summary: You know it, You love it!
Comment: I was deliriously happy to see this finally released on DVD. (Aside from Time-Life.)
Great set. Loved it! I bought this to watch the first series. Extras are unimportant to me. One very nice extra, is an optional verbal introduction to each episode by Barbara Feldon.
At the time of this writing, 48 out of 50 reviews, are 5 stars. That is a strong, positive statement.
There are a few nice cameos in the series too. ( No spoilers! )
Take your head out of the Cone of Silence and buy this! When you do, you will be loving it! If you do not buy this, you will have missed it by that much! LOL ;)

Summary: Worth the price to buy from time life.
Comment: It took me almost a year to decide to buy from Time life and after this series will be release with only 4 dvd`s compare to 5 dvd`s from Time Life, well my decision was easily made,comes in a telephone booth box set, I saw the first season so far and was not disappointed at all, 99 gives a introduction for each show, and the extra`s are worth it, the first season bonus extra`s are a interview with Buck henry, guest spots and appearances from Don, bloopers, tv commercial, and a 2003 reunion. Well worth the extra money to buy from Time Life, I should have ordered this a long time ago, anxious to look at the other seasons.
