   Summary: No subtitles of any kind.
This is unbelievable. Most of the folks who would be potential buyers for this tv show are over 50 years old and no consideration for them at all. There are no subtitles, not even English subtitles. What a shame. I am returning this thing.

   Summary: Who's Crazy enough to pay over $20 more for "extras"
I must admit, sure I'd love to have the extras that Time-Life has for this series, but for the price they are selling Season 1 for I can purchase the next season (assuming the price remains the same) and then some! If you bought "Get Smart Season 1" during the first week of release it is $16.99, the Time Life series sells for $39.99 a season. To pay that amount for bloopers, behind the scenes, show promos and reunion footage seems a little absurd to me. But I'm sure I've paid too much for things I've liked before. Anyway, the quality of the show is great, and there are audio commentaries by Barbara Feldon, Buck Henry and Mel Brooks if you like them.

   Summary: On DVD!! FINALLY!!! :-)
So FINALLY 'Get Smart' is released on DVD on Amazon. I have bee waiting YEARS for this moment.

Though I'm 24, I have loved this show FOR-EV-ER since I was 8. I got the much-coveted gem in the mail the day before yesterday and have watched the first three episodes already.

Don Adams plays Maxwell Smart-Agent 86 of the fictitious Cold-War Era CONTROL, a top-secret Washington-based spy organization whose mission it is to eliminate threats to U.S. society. Maxwell Smart does not come across as very bright, which makes up the comedy of the show as he makes the most comediac of mistakes (For instance, in the second episode of Season #1, he burns up a secret code BEFORE he is to memorize it) and the Chief, played by Edward Platt, tolerates him. Barbara Feldon plays 99, the beautiful brunette who tries to amend Smart's mistakes and adds to the comediac atmosphere.

900 minutes (aka 15 hours) of entertainment with spectacular introductions by Barbara Feldon herself. Completely recommended.

   Summary: for budget minded...INCLUDES bonus features not noted...enjoy!
As others have written, this is an abbreviated version of the season 1 and full series being offered by TimeLife.com but some have not properly noted the EXTRAS on this set. I have both the full set and just picked up this handy season 1 version which surprisingly enough doesn't mention all the BONUS FEATURES on its packaging. This version DOES have the pilot episode in Black and White with both Buck Henry AND Mel Brooks commentaries! Its a great episode and features Michael Dunn (the diminutive star from the Wild Wild West!)...this set also features the wonderful episode introductions by Barbara Feldon...so it appears to be exactly the same as the more expensive versions from TimeLife. The ONLY difference is the bonus DVD..which each season on the timelife version has...and they are chock full of amazing goodies...from new featurettes, to bloopers, and rare tv appearances from other shows to Emmy Award telecasts..and for me are a MUST.
Super fans ( I loved this show as a child) will want the TimeLife full set..and its stunning packaging...casual fans will be thrilled with this more inexpensive version and may even become super fans...

I'm only reviewing the DVD and not the series...that's been done very well by others...it was and is a classic and the failure of the big screen version recently only reinforces that fact!!! I will also add that the episodes look stunningly sharp and colorful...very well presented.

Don Adams was a comic genius and Barbara Feldon played her part with equal parts deadpan humor and adoration...brilliant stuff from a childhood to be cherished..I'm not sure if you didn't experience it the first time how it will hit you but I forgot how much I loved this show until watching these again...and the classic lines we all said in school...'missed it by that much' ..." and loving it" .."I told you not to tell me that"....wow...how fun to revisit childhood.
