The feature film may have missed it by that much, but Get Smart, the TV series, still hits the target with deadly funny accuracy. The right show at the right time, Get Smart brilliantly spoofed the spy genre that was all the rage in 1965, with James Bond on the big screen, and such series as Danger Man, The Avengers, The Saint, < I>The Man from U.N.C.L.E., and I Spy more or less playing it straight on the small screen. Get Smart, on the other hand, had a license to kill…with laughter. Mel Brooks and Buck Henry created one of TV's all-time greatest characters, Maxwell Smart, Agent 86 of CONTROL, the super-secret agency vigilantly on alert against the forces of KAOS. Smart (Don Adams in his iconic, Emmy-winning role), an American Clouseau, was not stupid. Though all evidence to the contrary, he was, in his own mind, a suave and sophisticated spy, albeit one who would inadvertently lean against a freshly painted wall while shadowing an enemy agent. Get Smart hilariously deglamorized the business of espionage. Agents punch a time clock and dispute vacation time. Cool spy gadgets, such as the infamous Cone of Silence, are prone to malfunction. One running joke throughout the first season finds Agent 44 (Victor French) perched in a variety of unlikely and uncomfortable hiding places, among them a grandfather clock. Although the series would only get smarter and funnier in subsequent seasons (Bernie Kopell's KAOS mastermind Siegfried would be introduced in season two), the first season contains several essential episodes, including the Emmy-winning two-parter, "Ship of Spies," "Aboard the Orient Express," featuring a cameo by Johnny Carson as an unflappable conductor, "Diplomat's Daughter" with the arch --and decidedly non-PC-- villain, the Craw, and "Back to the Drawing Board," featuring Dick Gautier as Hymie the robot. From "Sorry about that" to "Would you believe," no show before Get Smart introduced so many catchphrases into the national language, while Smart and his partner, Agent 99 (the ravishing Barbara Feldon), were perhaps TV's first "will they or won't they" couple. Brooks and Henry contribute separate commentaries for the black and white pilot episode, while Feldon provides commentary for another, and purrs introductions to each episode (beware plot spoilers). With Get Smart, you will be witness to some of TV's funniest moments, sharpest writing, and expertly-executed physical comedy. And… loving it. --Donald Liebenson

 Get a laugh - Get Smart October 12, 2008
As a kid I grew up watching Agent 86 and wanted to share the laughs with my kids. I've been waiting for this to come out on DVD so they could enjoy clean humor and get a break from the crude and sarcastic sitcoms of today. Don Adams is just as funny to them as he is to me. I recommend this product.
 Didn't Play October 8, 2008
I live in Australia and have bought DVDs from Amazon before and they have played on my DVD player and this one didn't. I was very disappointed I have to say. I can play it on my computer so I can see it, but that isn't the same as in the lounge chair with my feet up.
Get Smart: Season One October 6, 2008
Just as I remember it from back in the 60's. The color enhancement looks great. Many laughs.
Got Smarter ! September 30, 2008
It was a great trip down memory lane seeing these old shows again. Don Adams' comedic timing is impeccable, no one has that kind of timing these days. Barbara Feldon looks and sounds yummy throughout, what a dish ! Ed Platt is hilarious as the deadpan put-upon chief. Feldon also introduces each episode and her voice is as girlish as ever which is a real treat. The 60s really were an excellent ride for us all as far as TV and music were concerned. This a great set, worth every penny !
Get Smart - Original Series 1 September 15, 2008
Classic stuff - laughed at this when I was a kid - still laughing but for different reasons - a very clever and well scripted show - on the surface it is slapstick but this is combined with subtle humour which enriches the entertainment value - not unlike Frasier in this respect - well worth watching again and perhaps again!
