Rather than giving a favorite episode or two, I’m a fan of the gadgets, of the tricks of the trade. Some of them work (the shoe phone), some of them don’t (the Cone of Silence), but they’re clever. Whether or not it is true that the CIA asked producers about some of the gadgets, I don’t know. It is certainly possible and wouldn’t necessarily have been a bad idea.
For fans of the series, for fans of spoofs, for fans of Don Adams, for fans of Mel Brooks, and for fans of good television Get Smart is well worth looking into. It is by no means inexpensive, Time-Life currently prices it at $199.95 for the 25 DVD set. But, on the other hand, it is 25 DVDs of funny, of smart, and more often than not, of good entertainment. And, that’s not always easy to come by.
The DVD set is available, at this time, exclusively at Time-Life’s website.
