Avis sur le produitGet Smart - Gift Set (DVD, 2008, 25-Disc Set)

very Smart purchase

As kids we grew up watching shows, often in reruns, that we never took in in their entirety, often missing pilots, or whole early seasons, enjoying them anyway. There is a charm, or satisfaction, to going back and watching these old favorites, from their beginning, and then all the way through, that easily overcomes things like dated styles, or over-fond remembrances.
I own several complete "older" series now, and there are endless tidbits that turn up, that make the whole just so much better. For example, I had no idea Mr Haney actually sold Mr Douglas the farm that curses him on Green Acres. This makes his endless remedies pitch far funnier, knowing he created the problem in the first place! Wicked man!
All of which brings us to this fine old series. Get Smart is such clever cornball camp, with the characters completely committed to the seriousness of what their doing, all of which of course, is actually sheer lunacy, and so well performed by the accomplished cast, that it is near the top of the list, of classic-tv-that-should-never-be-forgotten.
A sitcom patterned as a cross between Inspector Clousou, and James Bond, the show hit its target audience right on the head, (sorry about that chief...) with endless fresh takes on old reliable jokes, Don Adams naseley delivery (just slow and drawly enough to let you see it coming..) and the amazingly connected byplay between "Smart" and "99" The show, and Adams won several awards during its too-brief run.
The series availability is rather late to the party, actually, and was only released a few years ago. It comes in a kicky case, with the front opening up in a manner imitating the famous headquarters entrance, with multiple opening doors to reach the dvd sleeves. Its so cute, in fact, that I nearly ruined it with a knife before I caught on. Careful - no tools necessary!!
Once inside the "phone booth" the five dvd cases slide out of some 60's themed plastic seeves, and each fold out case is printed with still scenes from various episodes. Very nice.
There are quite a few bonus bits, interviews and commentaries, and all the episodes are crisp and clear, and "digital" worthy. (the pilot is the original b&w!).
I purchased mine out of Hong Kong, the price was the best i could find by several dollars, and the shipping was very, very reasonable. It took a few weeks to get, but then, that was well forwarned. Amazingly, it came this far (Texas), for 3.00, with minimal wrapping, without a scratch.
If you like Clousou, or Bond, or just spy stuff in general, or if you'd like to fill in the blanks on an old favorite, this is for you.
Highly Recommended. (Think Monty Python, trying to be serious...as spys)!Lire l'avis complet...

Get Smart Gift Set

My husband and I love watching this series again in order. We've always admired Mel Brook's sense of humor and we enjoy looking at the old cars (which we wish we had) the hair styles and clothing. We laugh at different situations and share a closeness that only comes from watching Get Smart. He knows a lot of the lines and I mutter "That is so stupid." Buying the set as a Christmas gift for my husband is one of the coolest things I have ever done. It is actually wholesome and the little amount of violence it contains actually seems funny, knowing good will always overcome evil. We need more comedy like Get Smart in our lives.Lire l'avis complet...

And... Loving it

Growing up in the late 80s before bedtime, I found this awesome show on Nick at Nite. I fell in love with it instantly. Now I own it all and I couldn't be happier. Basically, it's a clean version of Austin Powers set in a time where spy flicks and themes were hard core. You will get great laughs out of this, see some nifty gadgets, and it caters to what spy fans love: girls, guns, and espionage.Lire l'avis complet...

Got Smart

I used to watch this series with my dad when I was a kid. We loved sitting down to watch Maxwell Smart fight the forces of evil CAOS. I was very happy to find this box of the entire series. My wife doesn't like this type of humor like I do, but my boys enjoy it. Maybe it is a guy 'thing' since my boys and I enjoy the episodes. It is good humor and great memories! I still have a place in my heart for Agent 86, Agent 99 and the chief.Lire l'avis complet...

Great Collection of classic comedy to own

This is a Great collection to own, Classic comedy at its best..All seasons of Get Smart included..comes in a box simulating the doors of the hallway , though it couldve been better done, when trying to pullout the individual albums that tehe dvds are placed in , it gets stuck, so extra care has to be taken so it wont ruin the box...Great Price, highly recommend it to people that like 60's tvLire l'avis complet...

Get Smart on DVD

Just opening the box prepares the viewer for silliness. Classic spy spoof.

buy this set, really, you need it.

In the rare case that you've never seen "get smart", I would say you need this set. Order it here on e-bay. otherwise you'll probably pay too much for it.
If you enjoy shows like "gilligan's island, the addams family, hogan's heroes", etc. then you'll love get smart. by now some of the jokes are a little stale and dated but they are still VERY funny.Lire l'avis complet...

I was smart when I got GET SMART

The DVDs were brand new still in the sealed package. I did not expect such a high quality product.
