_Get Smart_ (http://imdb.com/title/tt0058805/) might not rank as one of
television's most memorable classics, but the DVD release of the series, which
originally aired between 1965 and 1970, will be memorable in its own right as
the first ever to be issued in its entirety -- 138 episodes on 25 discs. The
series was restored from the original negatives and each episode will contain
all of the earlier scenes, unlike the versions that were shortened for
subsequent syndication. Repackaged by HBO Video, the DVD package, which will be
priced at $199.95, will initially be available only via corporate sibling
Time-Life Video's website until the fall of next year, when it will then be
distributed to retail stores. The package will also include more than 10 hours
of
"extras."
