This particular Get Smart is the Fox television network's 1995 revival of the CBS hit show that debuted 30 years earlier. A softer, less satirical and less worldly version of the original show that was created by Mel Brooks and Buck Henry, the new Get Smart nevertheless brings Don Adams back to the role of Maxwell Smart, agent 86 for counter-intelligence agency Control. Married to former agent 99 (Barbara Feldon), now a U.S. Congresswoman, Max is the new Chief of Control, bungling through his desk job yet somehow still managing to stymie the evil forces of Kaos. In a way, Get Smart isn't really Adams' or Feldon's show anymore. The two are seen frequently enough, but much of the comic action now belongs to Andy Dick as the Smarts' son Zach, who graduates to full agent in the series' premiere episode. A bumbler with an inflated sense of his expertise, Zach is very much Max's son. Continuing the parallel between generations, Zach is also paired with an attractive and more professional agent, 66 (Elaine Hendrix), who gradually warms to him over several episodes. Good thing, because that's all there is: after seven programs, Get Smart came to an end, and that's all this DVD has to offer. Even if it isn't brilliant, the family-friendly show has a lot of funny moments, particularly when Dick gets to engage his talent for physical comedy. His interactions with Hendrix occasionally border on classic screwball comedy, a nice balance with the obvious warmth between Adams and Feldon. --Tom Keogh |

Don't buy this...buy the "original" series |
I bought this when I couldn't get any of the original Get Smart series unless I bought the all of them. This is awful and not funny. They try to dress-up the old shows with modern sex and slang and it just doesn't work.
I really wish they would release all the originals on individual DVDs so I don't have to buy the whole set (it's too expensive for my budget). |

Get Smart (1995) - not so smart... |
|
A disappointment...not enough of Max and 99 in the series - their son (Andy Dick) does not have the presence nor timing that Max had in the secret agent role - the same one liners while well delivered did not have the same impact for me. Elaine Hendrix (Agent 66) looked bored for most of the time...a situation where they should have quit while they were ahead. |

not as advertised |
|
this is advertised as the complete series. this is not the original series from the 1960's but a remake of the series which was produced decades later. i was very disappointed as this is not what i expected. |

Shocking!!!! |
|
This is the worst attempt at a comedy i have ever seen, i am not supprissed they only made one season. I would not advise anyone to buy this product...The acting is shocking and the actors dont play their parts as well as they did in the original series.... DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY BUY SOMETHING ELSE!!!!!.... THIS ISN'T EVEN WORTH 1 STAR THE ONLY REASON I RATED IT 1 IS BECAUSE THE REVIEW PAGE REQUIRES YOU TOO.... |

Get Smart: the complete series |
|
This is not the original series from 1963, it's got Don Adams and Barbara Feldon but they're married and old and have a son played by Andy Dick and he's working with agents 86 and 99 as a callow secret agent and obviously inherited Max's stupidity. In my opinion, I'd say it's weak at best. I'll stick with the original any day. |
