Walmart has Get Smart complete series for 50 plus shipping. Free shipping to store is available. I know I paid like 78 dollars for this a year or two ago.

Even with shipping & tax it's still slightly better than the next best price (Amazon). Will a better deal show up in the future? Probably, but who knows when. It's good enough, especially since it's the last of my Christmas shopping.

I bought seasons 1-4 at Target in 2 pack bundles and not likely they will sell season 5 alone and I think the set has extras the single seasons do not.

Well I bought from Time-Life when it was first released for several times more than this (and it's still worth it!).
The complete series box is the best deal if you care for extras - each season has an extra disc of interviews, etc. that isn't included in the separate season releases.
Great show, fantastic deal.

Re: Get Smart Complete Series $50.00 at walmart.com

I ordered this set a few days ago.

I was so tempted to buy this from Time-Life in 2006 @ $200.00, but I'm somewhat Frugal.

It was a five year wait, but I finally got it at a bargain price.

I remember wanting this then but there was no way I was paying the outrageous prices at TL. $50 is a great price. I checked my order history at Amazon and I bought it almost 3 years ago (Jan '09) for $68, so I don't feel too bad. Especially since I've opened it and watched all of the episodes at least once (can't say that for every purchase I've made).

B&N had this for $46 and change about a year ago, which is the lowest I've seen it. Probably about the best deal that will be available for this, considering it's what, 25 discs?

Re: Get Smart Complete Series $50.00 at walmart.com

Okay, besides the bonus disc, anything different between the single seasons and the complete series set?

The box has 5 discs worth of bonus material.

Re: Get Smart Complete Series $50.00 at walmart.com

for those who are getting this, PLEASE check EVERY SINGLE DISC.. I made the mistake of not doing this.. it took over a year to get through this set.. there is a LOT to go through and I took my sweet time.

I got to disc 4 of the last season and it was a duplicate of disc 5 (which is the supplements). So I never got to see the last 4 episodes of the entire series!

I got it from Amazon.. this is way over any replacement window.....

Learn from my error.

^ I'd contact the manufacturer. Had this same issue with a tv show season several years ago. Sent a letter to the company who made it and I actually had an entire new set that showed up at my doorstep less than 2 weeks later.

Well, TimeLife was the manufacture, I believe. I contacted them and they said because I didn't buy it from them they won't help me.

Was your disc labeled wrong or did your set just have 2 copies of the same disc? I was trying to pass on this deal but the price was just too good... I went in to Frys and had them do a price match.

When I had this happen with my Buffy the Slayer complete series set, I bought a single season and swapped discs and returned it for another and sold it.

I thought I was somewhat frugal. But apparently the $40 price savings I got in 2008 when I paid Time-Life $159.96 for this set now makes me seem somewhat extravagant instead.
