Here's the scoop on the release:

They are available for ordering now.
The DVDs are only available through Time-Life. There are NO plans right now for them to be available through any other retailer.
The set is $199, a great price for all five seasons. That's $1.45 an episode! It's even less when you use the above discount available to fans of this website.
The restoration and mastering of the episodes is absolutely phenomenal. It's the sharpest and cleanest release of a show I've ever seen. The restoration company did an amazing job with the show. Leonard Stern said that "finally Get Smart can be seen the way it was meant to be seen." For details on the restoration, check out my restoration page.
Check out their quality on the clips below!

All episodes and extras have an audio introduction from Barbara Feldon.
They are closed captioned and the only language featured is English.
This is a Region 1 release.
The set is only available in the United States and Canada (see the FAQ for information on DVDs in other countries).
NEW! - Australian fans can rejoice! EZYDVD has announced plans to sell the show in season sets for the much more reasonable price of $50 per season. Details can be found here. They are only selling Seasons 1-3 now and I am not sure if they plan to sell the remaining seasons. It probably depends on how the first seasons sell.
It comes packaged in a cool phone booth case!

As always, scans of the artwork, packaging, and menu screens premiered on this website and can be seen on my graphics page.

There are a ton of great extras on the release as well. I think the producers did a marvelous job locating extras and selecting things for inclusion and were very conscious of the desires of the fans. Please note that the top three extras requested by the fans are all on the DVDs, a remarkable achievement and one that shows how carefully the DVD producer (Paul Brownstein) worked to ensure a top-notch release. Here's a look at the release.

Wow, what an outstanding batch of extras! Yes, it is extremely unfortunately that Don passed away before this production began. However, the producers took great care to ensure that Don's career and work were extremely well-represented and I think they did a fabulous job. The DVD was executive produced by Paul Brownstein and produced by Sue Kesler and they deserve an amazing amount of credit for putting together a fabulous DVD set, as does Time-Life.
