This is the "STUFF"!!! September 6, 2008
I've been waiting for this series to come out on DVD for years! All of the characters (on THAT show, at THAT time)together just "work" together as a cohesive force... I really can't explain it. Future attemts at recreating that vibe (in the 1960s)have all failed. Great price here on Amazon, too... kudos go to them!
P.S. I didn't realize how much of a babe Barbara Feldon was until now! Go Max!
And Loving it!!! September 6, 2008
Since i grew up with Get Smart, i already knew just how funny this material was and is! Easily some of the funniest, most original slapstick, over the top, funny material to be found in any comedy scenario. To even attempt to recreate the humor found in this series set in its time and place is stupid at best as showed by the most recent attempt this past summer. Leave the greatness of this show alone and let it perform for itself, it needs no recreation! Thanks for bringing it to us in a more reasonable package!
At Last !! September 2, 2008
I was in no hurry to pay the $200 Time-Life price for the whole series and patiently waited for a wider distribution and a lower price. Finally I was rewarded with Season 1 at a bargain intro price on Amazon.com. Sure there's some missing bonus material but really it's all about the show and the episodes. I'll be first in line for the remaining 4 seasons to complete the set at less than half the original price.
Make no mistake this is one of the funniest shows ever done, headed by the genius of Buck Henry, Mel Brooks and Leonard Stern. It holds up well so many years later, and even my 15-year old daughter is hooked.
Get Smart August 29, 2008
This is an excellent TV show that is funny and overwhelmingly entertaining. It can basically be described as a spoof on James Bond. The episodes are well written and run between twenty-one and twenty-three minutes.
"Would you believe?" August 21, 2008
The brainchild of Buck Henry (HEVEN CAN WAIT) and Mel Brooks (BLAZING SADLES, YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN, SPACE BALLS, yadda, yadda, yadda), the funniest take on the James Bond craze starring Don Adams as the bumbling and incompetent Control agent 86 Maxwell Smart, Barbara Feldon as his sidekick Agent 99 and Ed Platt as the Chief. The show had all kinds of goofy devices: a phone entrance to Control Headquarters, a shoe phone communicator, the "Cone of Silence", etc. Clever catch phrases like, "Would you believe?" "Missed by that much." The first season is a hoot as every thing is brand new. Later seasons would start to falter.
