I'd heard about it comming to DVD for a while now, and it comes out Nov 13th. only thing though is that you can only get it from Time Life's website. They're selling it for 200 bucks for all 5 seasons in one box set spanning 25 DVDs. You can buy the sets individually, but they're releasing that over time. Anyhow, here is all the info from TvShowsonDVD.com:

November 13th Marks The Debut Of The Award-Winning TV Series On ANY Home Video Format!
SERIES EXECUTIVE PRODUCER LEONARD STERN CALLS THE
DIGITAL RESTORATION OF ALL 138 EPISODES "INCREDIBLE"
FAIRFAX, VA - Sept. 15, 2006 - Would you believe... one of the greatest television sitcoms of all time will finally arrive on DVD, as Time-Life and HBO Video debut Get Smart: The Complete Collection this fall. The seven-time EMMY® Award-winning comedy series, starring Don Adams as title character Maxwell Smart, originally aired on NBC from 1965 to 1970, and has never before been available on home video. All five seasons arrive November 13th featuring nearly 10 hours of stunning bonus material such as a new, in-depth interview with co-star Barbara Feldon (Agent 99), original featurettes, new episode introductions, audio commentaries with cast and series co-creators Mel Brooks and Buck Henry, never-before-seen bloopers, and much, much more.
Get Smart: The Complete Collection DVD set will be available exclusively from Time-Life via the Time-Life website (www.getsmartondvd.com) for the first year. This super-sized, specially packaged collection contains every original, unedited episode from all five seasons of Get Smart - a total of 138 episodes on 25 DVDs! Get Smart: The Complete First Season will soon be available as a five-disc set with over two hours of bonus material, also through the Time-Life website and additionally through direct-response television commercials, with Seasons 2-5 to follow. The series is due to be released at retail by HBO Video, but not until Fall 2007. HBO Video is distributed by Warner Home Video.
Time-Life, working in conjunction with HBO Video, spent nearly a year restoring and digitally re-mastering each individual full-length episode of the celebrated series. Commenting on the new look of the show, Get Smart executive producer Leonard Stern remarked, "This incredible restoration means that finally Get Smart can be seen the way it was meant to be seen."
Award-winning DVD executive producer Paul Brownstein (The Dick Van Dyke Show, The Twilight Zone, The Odd Couple) oversaw the Get Smart DVD production. Brownstein's extensive research and talent outreach have resulted in an impressive amount of nearly 10 hours of bonus features.
Series co-creators Brooks and Henry, producer Stern, actors Feldon, Bernie Kopell (KAOS kingpin Siegfried), Bill Dana (Agent Quigley), and guest stars Don Rickles and James Caan recently recorded audio commentaries for the collection. Five original featurettes boast exclusive on-camera interviews, Get Smart memorabilia and show highlights. Bonus features also include clips from the 2003 Museum of Television & Radio's Get Smart Reunion seminar, representing the last time key Get Smart alum Adams, Feldon, Kopell, Stern and producer/director Jay Sandrich appeared together on the same stage. Never-before-seen bloopers, rare network promotional pieces, commercials, EMMY award acceptance speeches, and classic TV appearances by Adams, both in and out of character are found within the collection. Finally, the Get Smart DVD collection, which is aptly dedicated to the memory of Adams, includes the hour-long roast taped at the Playboy Mansion on the occasion of Adams' 75th birthday, as well as an hour of footage from the touching memorial service held after the beloved star's death in 2005.
To me, for 200 bucks is worth it for all that!
