The Untouchables: Season 2 Volume 2

Retro television shows have never done particularly well unless they were set in the Old West. Shows set in the 20's, 30's, 40's, etc, any era outside of the one in which they aired have never lasted long except in three major exceptions - Happy Days, Laverne & Shirley, and The Untouchables.The Untouchables succeeded for a number of reasons. First, the veil that had been on the Mafia for a number of years was slowly but surely being peeled off due to gangland killings and the fame of gangsters such as Al Capone, Bugsy Siegel, Dutch Schultz, Lucky Luciano, and others. Even before the Godfather and its outstanding first sequel, the public had a fascination and curiosity with the mob. So take some true events, ture characters, heavily fictionalize them with Hollywood gloss and pathos, and you get a very successful show that made a star out of Robert Stack and brought new fame to a Treasury agent named Eliot Ness.The Untouchables' collection should not have been split up into multiple sections. That's greed, pure and simple. But the lure of this show - its great characters, performances, grit and intelligence will draw buyers even though they know they're being ripped off. Stack's Ness is one of the best alltime detectives - fearless, relentless, and absolutely ruthless with the bad guys. The supporting casts were always excellent, and Bruce Gordon brough the right amount of humor and menace to Frank Nitti, Capone's chief lieutenant.The Untouchables - Season Two, Volume 2 is not untouchable, but it is irresistable.

A great TV series, fun and enjoyable. Let's you see where future TV/Movie stars (Telly Savalos, Leonard Nimoy, and dozens of other future stars, etc etc etc) got their starts. It's a TV show and as such wasn't meant to be historically accurate. Other than that there was an Eliot Ness, Al Capone, and Prohibition.. it's fiction. The show did cause some consternation with J. Edgar Hoover, LoL! Was one of the very few TV shows that my late Father actually watched. We're real Italians and we never felt "insulted". It's a fun DVD if the subject matter interests you! It's a lot better than the Untouchables movie with Costner and Connery! For those who want accurate historical info, go to the Cleveland Police Museum.

I obtained this to fill in a gap in my now complete collection of DVD's of the old "Untouchables" TV series that starred Robert stack as Eliot Ness.

My husband loves the Untouchables and loves this collection.

I was two years old during Season 1, and in first grade for Season 4. I wanted to see what I've been missing. Talk about an all-star cast!!! Robert Duvall, James Caan, Robert Marley(The guy who woke up with a horse's head in his bed in GF 1), Donna Douglas (Before Ellie Mae Clampett), Ed Asner, Liz Montgomery, Dick York, Lee Marvin, Robert Redford, Danno in Hawaii 5-0, Henry Silva, Peter Faulk, all the other Hollywood Icons got their start on the Untouchables!

I've collected all four collections so far, I know they are expensive but to me I think they are worth paying for. Robert Stack in particular is a delight. His portayal of the character is just right. He is electrifying. One thing I am desperately hoping for on a future DVD is the inclusion of 'This Is Your Life' episode of Robert Stack, they included his appearance in the Lucy show on the back of Season two Volume 1. so I think it would be a great and fitting tribute to him as the star of the show.

I was concerned that the series would run out of story lines and lose its ability to hold our interest and entertain. Not to worry. Season Two has been just as enjoyable to watch as the first season. The story's are good. The acting is first class. We didn't wait to finish this set before ordering the next season. In my opinion, this is one of the best programs from this period of television.

I have purchased all four of the DVD's for seasons 1 and 2 and they are all I'd hoped for and more. They bring back all the excitement from when they were first shown. A real fun part is seeing all of the future stars when they were much younger, using the show as a springboard for their careers (Lee Marvin, Telly Savales, Peter Falk, Charles Bronson, Elizabeth Montgomery etc.). The quality is excellent. If you liked the original series, I guarantee you'll love the DVDs. Worth every cent.

Watched this series as a kid - still enjoying it!

Excellent story line, good actors and a lot of action. Very happy with the purchase. If you like action then order from Amazon.

Eliot Ness and his crew are Untouchable.

good stories. good actors. i like to see the old cars, the fashion in the 1930's etc. i like everything about "the Untouchables". i have all the episodes.

Great DVD
