well, at least I know what I'll be asking for Christmas now...

CHERISLAND · 09-16-2006, 11:23 AM

Yes, but not so good if you live outside of the United States, as I do in Canada. I tried pre-ordering myself a set (this show is my ALL-TIME FAVE ever!) on the Time-Life website, and unless you live in the US, they have their registration set up so that outside the US you cannot register. I checked and they state that they do not deliver outside the US. So I thought, okay, I'll pay for it and have it sent to a friend in the US, but again, they do not have their registration system set up to even allow this.

I sent Gord an e-mail at www.tvshowsondvd.com enquiring about this and he told me that he has someone looking into this, and that Time Life have the rights to sell the series in Canada but that at the present time there doesn't appear to be a way for Canadians to order the set.

I've even checked the Time-Life Canadian website but they do not have Get Smart listed.

I'm on the edge of my seat waiting for any kind of an update on this as I really want to get the whole series. The set sounds awesome with a TON of DVD extras (almost 10 hrs worth) and apparently Barbara Feldon introduces each episode with some comments. Very exciting!

I have the whole series on DVD already through trades with fellow fans, but would love to purchase this "official" DVD release that has been a long time coming.

u can always send the $$ to someone in the states and have them order 2 sets and just ship it to you later on

seems the simplest way

im gonna get it too i think, my wife loves the show and it would be worth it for the extras alone!

CHERISLAND · 09-16-2006, 01:34 PM

yeah, that's probably what I'll end up doing Rob if it turns out I can't order it from Canada. I'm still hopin' though.

It sounds like an awesome set with so many cool extras - bloopers, other tv show appearances, a fan club reunion, special mini-featurettes, commercials etc....a ton of bonus stuff!
And the prints have been fully remastered.....very exciting stuff and a long time coming.....this and the upcoming 1st volume of the Addams Family have me looking forward to Fall!

Lamont · 09-16-2006, 01:37 PM

Addams Family---- i wish they would release it by seasons, the whole VOL 1 is silly
but better than nothing

CHERISLAND · 09-16-2006, 01:42 PM

I agree with you about the Addams Family volumes thing. It seems silly to do it this way...i'm guessing its being done as a way to stretch 2 seasons worth of episodes into 3 volumes which really doesn't seem fair, but I love the series so will buy them all anyways.
