Will "Get Smart" be out on DVD?

[Lolac]

Has anyone heard whether or not "Get Smart" is being released on DVD? I would love to add it to my collection of classic TV DVDs.

I hope so.

I know I read something about Get Smart at TVshowsonDVD.com a few months ago but I forgot what it said. I think they said something about it being released when the movie comes out next year.

HBO Home Video will release Season One in 2006, with TONS of extras.

More Details to follow...

I wonder why HBO will be releasing the sets, I thought Paramount owned Get Smart.

Not sure exactly when, in 2006, that GET SMART will be released. But I just
learned that THE BEST OF TENNESSEE TUXEDO will be out on DVD in March.
Don Adams supplied the voice of penguin Tennessee in this educational cartoon
series on CBS. The show (created in answer to Newton Minow's "vast
wasteland" speech) was Adams' first starring vehicle. A funny show. It also
featured F-TROOP's Larry Storch as Professor Phineas J. Whoopee.

I vaugley remember it. I don't remember it as being educational, though.

I clearly remember "Tennessee Tuxedo," but I, too, do not remember it being educational. I remember it being funny!

It was educational in the sense that Tennessee and Chumley would go to Professor Phineas J. Whoopee, and Whoopie would use science to explain how to solve whatever problem Tennessee and Chumley were having... after which Tennesse would always say... "Phineas J. Whoopie, you're the greatest!"

I hope that "Get Smart" will be coming to DVD!! I know it's coming in 2006, but when? One said the first quarter of 2006, and so far no rlease date has been set! But when it does, I will be GLAD!!!!

Phineas J. Whoopee would also use his 3-dimensional blackboard (or "3-D BB,"
for short) to explain science or history or whatever concept was applicable to
Tennessee's problem. Shows dealt with auto mechanics, meteorology, the
telephone, photography, journalism, irrigation, television, bridge building, the
telegraph, rocket science(!), dental hygiene, the phonograph, parachuting,
optometry, motion pictures, X-rays, gardening, physical fitness, the first
Thanksgiving, astronomy, and many other interesting subjects. It was, I
think, the first real attempt by the networks to entertain and educate at
the same time. Seventy episodes were made. (And, yes, they were pretty
funny, too.)

Has anyone heard anything about DVD release yet??

Has anyone heard anything about DVD release yet??

I've heard of no specific release date other than rumors of it being in the spring of 2006.

However I was in the local Suncoast Video store yesterday and picked up "Get Smart - Again" on DVD. Good quality and fun to watch.

ah yes, thank you for expanding on my answer! I'd forgotten the details, but now that you mentioned the "3DBB", I remember it well... Whoopie would pick up the tiny blackboard, hold if in front of him, and stretch it out until it covered the entire TV Screen... and then he'd begin his explanations, and we'd see illustrations of what he was talking about...

Great, great show!
