Get Smart: The Complete Series (Box Set) [DVD]

Received on time and is as expected!

I have been waiting for this to be released for years and it finally is and affordable too. The entire series including episode #1 the pilot in black and white (rarely televised when the show was in syndication). I watched this show after school growing up and really loved the in your face humor and poking fun at the spy movies (think 007 if Mel Brooks wrote the script). Purchased for myself as part of the " I Don't Need Cable Collection" another great addition to my video library.

came a day early in excellent condition. I thought I was a victim of a porch pirate, my package was big enough to put in our mailbox. one big salute to our driver.

The one I received arrived with a corner crunched to badly that it broke the cellophane surrounding the boxed set. It wasn't shipped with adequate packing protection. The strange thing is that I ordered it online using a gift card and to have it shipped by mail would take one week and to have it shipped to a store for pick-up would take two weeks--go figure. So it was an easy decision. Nex time, I will pick-up any series at the local store. I can't image that one arriving crunched.

Aways liked this show. I'm only on Season 3 right now. Only a half a dozen episodes with commentary and only the one with Barbara Feldon and Buck Henry is worth listening to, so far, but there are some other extras included. One that would very easily be missed is the Don Rickles Bloopers. The only way to find/see it is if you go to the episodes list and move down to that selection before the episode starts - only Commentaries are shown/listed on the Main Menu. Instead of just "Playing All", I will be going one episode at a time from now on so I don't miss any (more). You also get an airdate and introduction by 99 if you go one episode at a time.

Excellent series… excellent quality dvds… perfect!

Great classic show and one of the funniest of all time. It's absolutely brilliant.

I looked for the series and Walmart had it at a good price

wonderful series n i found it at an amazing price for a gift! shipping was quick n im very satisfied

This is just a review of the box set's image quality and packaging. I won't comment on the show since if you're looking to buy this you already are a fan of it. Overall, the packaging is nicely done but getting the discs out of the individual boxes is a pain. The case and flip 'pages' inside that hold 4 discs (2 on each side) are flimsy so pressing the center tab isn't easy to remove the disc. I had to bend the disc to remove it but this is all too typical of the case style used. Image quality is pretty decent, for a DVD. Luckily I have a barely 1 yr. old upper-end TV that does a great job of upscaling the image to not-quite bluray quality but still rather nice for what the source material is. Colors in the images sure do pop, the overall picture quality sure beats how it looked when it was first broadcast and watching on a CRT television. There's also a nice touch before each show starts with Barbara Feldon doing a short recap of the episode along with some nifty trivia to boot. Plus there two commentary tracks that you can listen to over the pilot episode from Mel Brooks and Buck Henry. If you're a fan of the show, grab this box set. It's well done for the price asked, and if you have a rather recent TV with good upsampling processing it'll look pretty darned good too.
