Hijinks in an army hospital.

Works a lot better as a TV show than a movie, even if it does have a laugh track. At times it gets a bit McHale's Navy, what with the zany antics and bumbling higher-ups, which is kind of annoying since for the most part it's an intelligent show. There are no bad episodes, though; at its worst, it's pleasantly amusing.

This is a great set, and an even greater show. It’s good clean fun for the whole family, and everybody who hasn’t seen Get Smart, by all means should. The special features were very interesting, not like the documentaries with a monotonous voice droning on about the filming of it, but with interviews with people like Barbara Feldon and the infamously versatile Bernie Kopell. The only complaints I’d have are that the little booklet in front is in such a place that it falls out every show more time you tilt the box, and that the discs don’t fasten all the time and sometimes come loose. If those are the worst things about it, it must be pretty good, huh? show less
