DVD Reviews of Get Smart - Season 1 (The Original TV Series)

DVD Review: Secret Agent Smart
Summary: 4 Stars

This set is great! I saw these when I was a kid and the program was in syndication. This had one of my favorite episodes, the one about the Orient Express that had cameos by Johnny Carson. Produced by Mel Brooks and Buck Henry this is great comedy and classic television. If you've never had a chance to see Get Smart before the first season is a great place to start. In this series Smart is a bumbling but well-meaning agent of Control, which fights an international organization of evil. Made in the 1960s this was one of many programs which looked at secret agents, elaborate plots and sophisticated spy gizmos.

DVD Review: great service
Summary: 5 Stars

I love this show, and I bought two copies as a gift for my father-in-law and my mother, both of whom are fans as well. I remebered Get Smart as a kid, and then the recent re-make reminded me of the classic for Christmas gifts. Great service from Amazon.com as always.

DVD Review: A fine DVD
Summary: 5 Stars

Smooth transaction. It's a gift so I haven't opened it but everything seems in order.

DVD Review: Would you believe 4 stars?
Summary: 4 Stars

Get smart was a great comedy that influences even todays tv. Don Adams created a beloved cross of James Bond And jaqcues Cleseau (spelled wrong om sure). This inept spy always got the job done making us laugh the whole time. Paired with 99 and always on the chiefs last nerve Special agent 86 is a gem. Bernie Kopel As Sigfried is a classic comic villan guarenteeing laughs. They made this into a movie but nothing can touch this classic comedy.

DVD Review: Get Smart-Season 1
Summary: 5 Stars

Get Smart-Season 1 is a four-disc complete collection of the thirty epiodes of the show's first season. The basic primis of the show follows secret Agent 86 Maxwell Smart, played by Don Adams, and his attempts to help CONTROL foil the evil plans of KHAOS. To assist him in this mission Smart has is partner Agent 99, played by the beautiful Barbara Feldon, and the Chief. The show is truely a comedic masterpiece from the minds of Mel Brooks and Buck Henry, but is taken to another level by the wonderful cast. While a great deal of the comedy does come from the slapstick antics that Smart finds himself in, the show also contains a great deal of intelligent humor in the writing as well. The DVD set itself is put together in a manner fitting such a wonderful show and features a 1960's feel and design. The only problem with this set is a lack of a great deal of special features, but the comentary tracks by Brooks, Henry, and Feldon are wonderful. Get Smart is one of the greatest television shows of all time and this first season collection would a grand addition to any DVD libaray.

Description of Get Smart - Season 1 (The Original TV Series)

Studio: Hbo Home Video Release Date: 08/05/2008 Run time: 750 minutes Rating: G

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
