Superb quality, great jokes (even if they keep repeating them!). The Chief and his numbered agents ("Agent 86 - you're twice the man agent 43 ever was.") fight against the distributors of nastiness, KAOS. Good, clean fun from an era when Good always won, even if Good was a bit stupid! I bought series 1 firstr, and then bought the whole set becauseit is such outstanding value. Great to see it in colour as well (I used to watch it in B&W). A small warning: kids of today will find it a bit dated, but who cares! Dad loves it!!!

Amazon Verified Purchase
Having only vague memories of this series, I decided to read the mostly favourable customer reviews here, and after seeing the great offer on Amazon I thought I'd take a chance on it, and its great! All the glowing reports about this series are spot on.
Lead character Agent 86 - Maxwell Smart (Don Adams) is brilliant, with his great facial expressions and mannerisms, (not to mention that wonderful voice) He basically bungles his way through his assignments with pure luck - and the assistance of the delightful Agent 99, (Barbara Feldon) who helps him to keep one step ahead of that fiendishly subversive organisation K A O S.
With James Bond-style gadgets also on hand, this brilliantly spoofs the likes of The Man From U. N. C. L. E.
There's a continual flow of witty one-liners and delightful sight gags (with writer Mel Brooks involved, what more can you expect)
Back at headquarters waits Smart's Chief of operations, (a great performance by Edward Platt) Also, lets not forget agent K13, the canine called Fang.
As various new characters are introduced, the great standards are maintained throughout the entire series. Its all good clean fun that anyone can watch and won't be offended by swearing, sex or smut.
There are loads of special features on each of the 5 series, including guest spots on TV shows, plus TV advertisements and bloopers.
All episodes are in colour, (except the pilot) and the picture and sound quality are great, with English subtitles.
All 138 episodes are over 5 series, with each 5 disc series stored in a single-size dvd case, which means that the size of the boxset is kept to a minimum.

This is classic television at it's best, and a trip down memory lane, to boot. Who can forget these classic phrases?
-would you believe?
-sorry about that, Chief !!
-missed it by that much !!
-what's he saying, Max? He wants me to get my knee of his chest !!
-of course ! The old camera in the gun in the camera trick !!
That's the second time I've fallen for it this month !!
-and.....loving it !!
-you're worth two 43's, 86 !!
-if only he had used his talent to work for the forces of niceness
.instead of the forces of rotteness !!
And let's not forget the Cone of Silence !!
It is refreshing to watch a program that does not need to resort to vulgar language and filth to be humorous.
One almost misses the Cold War era. At least we know who our enemies were !!
And, last but not least, there was Agent 99 !! The prettiest spy in history !!
PS And this show is a treat for auto enthusiasts, with all those
1960s Chrysler and Ford products !!

Great!
An unexpected opportunity to re-visit a favourite show I never thought I'd see again. All 138 episodes, generous bonus features and a staggeringly low price - what's not to like?

Even if some jokes are used and reused many times, this is still a great and funny way to spend some time.

good
All the DVDs in my package worked. The price was about half of what it costs locally in my city. The show is funny. It's not in my top 20, but I do recommend it.
