Editorial Reviews: Product Description Follows the comic adventures of CONTROL's Agent 86 Maxwell Smart, his beautiful sidekick Agent 99, and his long suffering boss, the Chief. Amazon.com 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

June 8, 2010 Dayne Black (Cortez,CO) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful I was just introduced to Get Smart recently and it is one of the funniest shows ever. It's very classic and is very funny. I found myself laughing at every episode. What also makes me laugh is how every episode is almost exactly like the last something happens with KAOS and Maxwell Smart is on the job. From his "Would You Believe It" sayings to the Cone Of Silence this will leave you rolling on the floor laughing! Get smart and buy GET SMART June 6, 2010 James H. Matton (Fairless Hills, PA United States) Get Smart was awesome. my whole family enjoyed season 1, now we are ready for season 2. Get Smart Season 1 April 30, 2010 Jeffrey C. Denekas (Va USA) I used to watch this as a kid and I'm glad to finally get the chance to collect this series. Even with it being from the 60's, it's still a great presentation from the Late Great Don Adams. I highly recommend this to everyone. Very Disappointed February 1, 2010 Darlene Armstrong 0 out of 8 found this review helpful I did not receive this product. The seller says they sent it and the post office says they delivered it, but I never saw it. It was sent "delivery confirmation", but that is no guarantee that you will receive it. If someone in the post office misdirects or leaves the item and someone comes along and steals it your out of luck. I filed a report to the post office and the seller, but I am the one who got stiffed. So buyer beware. At Last We Can Get Smart December 18, 2009 Darin B.
