[4/11/13] Donna gave the the Season 1 DVD set as a gift (a year or two ago, still haven't finished watching it). But I saw the HBO set at BookOff for $10 yesterday. This is the one that has the fifth special features DVD. I wasn't 100% if that was the one, so I bought it just in case and sure it enough it is.
I guess I'll unload the four DVD one at swapadvd or eBay.
Anyway they had this neat episode from the Bill Dana Show featuring Don Adams and Bill Dana as Jose Jiminez. And in stepped Hans Conried! But actually listening to the Bill Dana commentary, it wasn't Hans Conried but Jonathan Smith who is best known for his role on Lost In Space. [1/8/21 - Actually his name is Jonathan Harris who played the role of Dr. Zachary Harris.] I guess I have always confused the two (or thought they were the same person).
Looking it up, they actually appeared on an episode together of Lost In Space, called the Questing Beast (on hulu).
Here's a review of the Complete Series (including the special features fifth DVD from each season). If you're looking for the special features, make sure to look for the five-disc set instead of the retail four-disc sets. And another review.
[9/5/06] The Get Smart! DVD Collection is now available for ordering directly from Time Life.
[6/5/06] Apparently the DVD set will be sold via direct response, which is sort of surprising since I would think it would be a popular item.
[6/3/06] TVShowsOnDVD has received word from an anonymous source (we'll call him "Agent 86") about the upcoming Get Smart DVD releases. We had previously reported that HBO would be releasing the series, but they've licensed the show to Time-Life instead of doing it themselves. We can expect the first season to be released sometime in Fall 2006, but Agent 86 didn't have the exact date for us. However, he's working on getting that top secret info. The set will feature all 29 color episodes, PLUS the rare B&W pilot episode where Maxwell Smart (Don Adams) is teamed up with 99 (Barbara Feldon) for the first time. All the episodes have been digitally remastered and restored, and they're the original full length episodes, not the bastardized syndicated versions.
The first DVD set will include commentary tracks and interviews with Barbara Feldon, creators Mel Brooks and Buck Henry, as well as unearthed materials featuring some of Don and Barabara's television appearances.
[9/26/05] Don Adams passes away at 82
[8/11/05] Mark Evanier, who is well-known among comic book afficianados for his time spent as an assistant/apprentice to the legendary Jack Kirby, has also spent quite a bit of time in the world of Television writing as well.
Today he's reported at his NewsFromMe.com website that "a company" (he says that he believes it to be Time-Life...more on that in a moment) is preparing an announcement for "any day now", which will see the DVD release of every episode of Get Smart.
40 years?! Wow that's a long time ago.
