Get Smart - Season 1 (The Original TV Series)

This is an excellent compilation of the original Get Smart series! Brought back many memories! An excellent value for the price, too!

Thanks to Spy Fox and other cultural references, we got thinking about Get Smart recently. How wonderful to find that this marvelous series is now on DVD. Even better, we were given it after putting it on our Amazon wish list!

There aren't many shows where my nearly-80-year-old father and my 10-year-old son laugh out loud throughout, but this is one. Don Adams' timing is perfect, and even in this first season the chemistry of the cast is strong. It is so much better than more recent forays into the spy spoof genre, like Austin Powers, and yet I can still show it to my impressionable son without fear.

Well worth the purchase price. Didn't realize the it is in color as when I first watched it we only had a black n white television. In vivid color, not like some old series you see on tv where the color is washed out.

Get Smart was one of the top 5 TV comedies of all time, maybe one of the top five shows of any genre. After somehow never being released in VHS, the series was finally released in DVD. The negative is that it was released as the complete series with a price tag that was higher per season than the subsequent release of season one. The positive is that it's now down to $110 on Amazon which is a little more reasonable. Hopefully HBO Home Video will get smart and release the remaining seasons individually soon. Those who were fans will end up buying it one way or another. Those who only know the recent movie should find a way to watch the series to see how it was done right.

Purchased this for my son's birthday. He loves it and I am reliving my youth. With all the trash on TV today, it's a relief to have wholesome entertainment to watch.
