1) So Mr. Claw! craw? Claw! Craw? CLAW! is finally out of time-lifes clutches!!!   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
well, it sure is about time for this classic to be regularly released on dvd and away from the CLAWS of time-life! next they need to get the man from U.N.C.L.E free! i was stupid, yet desparate enough to buy the first season of man from uncle on dvd through time-life, its a cheap piece of cardboard with poorly glued together plastic dvd holders. i mean for a regular full $40.00 that stunk! they usually do a much better, NORMAL packaging job on regular releases! But it sure was nice seeing the classic first season of UNCLE again, HEAPS and HEAPS of the greatest guest stars in that first season alone! but yeah, time life SUCKS! and for BAT-FANS out there, its a HOLY BATMANIA! as far as the classic beautiful bat-mobile being released in several great scales! ! ! but... watch, BATMAN will be the next victim to fall into the clutches of time-life! then it will take a year and a half to see that ever regularly - released! CAN THE DYNAMIC DUO AVOID THE DEADLY CLAWS OF TIMELIFE THE TERRIBLE?!? :(

2) The Old Bare Bones Relase In The Boxset Trick...   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
"Would you believe Get Smart Season One hits stores the first week of August?""I find that very hard to believe""Would you believe all the bonus features have been removed from the Time Life set?""I don't think so.""How about a cheap version of Season One with all of the great episodes and no extras for $24.99!"Yup, that's what the dim bulbs at HBO are doing. Season One, bonus feature free, comes out August 5th. Now the episodes are priceless. I know from the Time Life collection that the picture quality is nothing short of stunning. But the bonus features for this series are what really set it head and shoulders above other vintage TV releases.Here's what's NOT in the retail release of Season One:1.Buck Henry interview2."The Secret History of Get Smart"3.Adams TV appearances (6 of these)4.BLOOPERS5.Excerpts from the Get Smart Reunion Seminar (2003) with Adams and Feldon plus producers, directors and Bernie Kopell talking about the show.and, probably, no commentaries. And there are 2 on this set.This is hours of content not included. Wouldn't surprise me if they are saving all this stuff for the big series collection after all the single seasons have been released.It's a shame they have to remove all this great stuff.But the show is fantastic and finally on DVD. Completely remastered. I know from having watched all of Season One (I just finished Season Three) that the picture is stunningly clear and sharp. They went to town on the episodes. And Season One has the original pilot that is not shown in syndication because it was done in black and white.Great show! Better than the lame "re-imagining" that's coming on Friday.Get Smart hitting stores should be joyous news, but with this bare bones edition, it's a bit of a downer. I can't recommend the show highly enough though. And the Time Life version is a darn near perfect DVD release.

3) Missed It By That Much   [Rating: 4 out of 5]
Get Smart was one of the funniest spy spoofs ever produced. There's no doubt about that. This set includes every episode of the first season, and they're all beautifully presented. But no spy is complete without his extra gadgets, and that's what's missing from this set.TimeLife has exclusively offered a FIVE-DISC set packed with bonus features for some time now (users are selling it used & new here), but this FOUR-DISC set is the stripped version.The 5-disc version includes the Pilot episode, 3 commentaries (1 from Mel Brooks, 1 from Buck Henry, 1 from Barbara Feldon), and a FULL DISC of extras that includes a featurette, long lost TV appearances by the stars of the show, and excerpts from a Get Smart seminar with several cast members (including Don Adams, himself), to name a few.This 4-disc version has none of the above.If all you want are the regular episodes - which are fantastic, to say the least! - then you'll be happy with the financial savings from buying this set. But if you really enjoy your bonus features, it's definitely worth the extra cost to splurge a little and buy the 5-disc version directly from TimeLife.

4) No Subtitle nor closed caption neither for this TV series!   [Rating: 1 out of 5]
What?! No closed caption nor subtitle for Get Smart! That is notorious discrimination to poor English readers and hearing impaired, especially for senior citizens who lost their sense of hearing. Don't buy those DVD without subtitle/CC because wicked corrupted companies want your money for their lucrative profits without people needs.
