Knight Rider - Season Two (1982) Review

Knight Rider - Season Two (1982)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This was the strongest and most ambitious season Of KR. The first episode named "GOLIATH" features Wilton Knight's evil son Garthe and a monstrous 18-Wheeler truck named "Goliath". This season also includes the sequel "Goliath Returns". Many other quality episodes are also included in this set that established KR as one of the best shows of the 1980s. Unfortunately this set, unlike the last, does not have any extras or bonuses. This is too bad because there's alot of behind-the-scenes material regarding the episode "GOLIATH" that I wouldve loved to seen. I am mad about Universal's lack of bonuses on their DVD sets, it seems that bonus material is not a priority. Too bad because I would've paid an extra few dollars to get a bonus disc that had "Goliath" on it. I give this review 5 stars for the episodes only. The DVD set deserves only 4, after all even though we get stiffed by the lack of bonuses the casing is well put together, I only wish the bonuses were included.Even though some of the original music has been deleted/altered it doesnt affect this set too much like it did the second season of Quantum Leap, after all unlike QL the music on KR was generic to begin with. Still Universal's lack of obtaining the rights of some songs is annoying and strips originality away from a classic series. Despite this any KR fan needs to own the most action-packed season of KR.

This show is my all time favorite, however Universal has once again dicked it up, just like they did with SEASON 3 and left out various sound effects and some teasers, but with this set, it is the ultimate let down, MONO sound when it was originally in STEREO!
DVD is meant to bring out the best in media, not the worst, how could they downgrade the sound? Unbelievable! Just doesn't seem possible...
UNIVERSAL PLEASE READ THIS AND RE-RELEASE SEASON 3 AND 4 ALREADY, THE FANS ARE EXTREMELY PISSED OFF!

I've LOVED Dukes of Hazard since I was a kid and I'm so happy that they're finally releasing all of them together =) This is just as good as the Seinfeld box set and I LOVE these boxed set seasons!
The best part is that Amazon has them for more than 1/2 off the retail price !!! So I saved a bunch of money too =)
Back to watching more Dukes, I've got something like 89 hours left =)

Magnum P.I. - The Complete Fourth Season (1980) Review

Magnum P.I. - The Complete Fourth Season (1980)
Average Reviews:

I'm happy to report my Fourth Season DVDs played fine. More importantly, the series really comes into its own during its fourth year on the air. While most programs designed for an hour slot, Magnum and Higgins' characters have enough depth to them that each hour is something of a glimpse into their lives. In particular, you can't watch this season without appreciating something about Magnum's past influences, his father, author Raymond Chandler, Agatha Christie and others. While all of this is wrapped in the sometimes dated trappings of an '80s TV show, a lot of the substance of the show survives.
This season includes what may be the best hour of television writing of its era, the Home from the Sea episode. As another reviewer mentioned, this is the "treading water" episode and it cemented many viewers' bond with Selleck's character. No staged fist fights, no explosions, no Ferrari chases. Not many episodes come close to this.
Other memorable episodes include Distant Relative, which focuses on Rick, Rick's sister and Magnum as a "babysitter" for a not-too-innocent twentysomething. Letter To A Duchess, in which Higgins has a crush on a British woman who falls for Magnum, also stands out: all the right sets, enough action, and it illuminates the Magnum-Higgins relationship that turns out to be the show's core.
Vietnam always lurks not far below the surface in the series, and The Look is an interesting (but dated) tie in to Magnum's past, with a female disc jockey who plays a role similar to Tyne Daly's female-friend-in-Vietnam from the excellent "Jororo Kill" episode in season two.

Another brilliant episode: Operation Silent Night, in which the main characters are marooned on Christmas Eve on an island used for Navy gunnery practice. By this point in the series, the writers no longer had to rely on props like the Ferrari and the bikini babes at the King Kamehameha Club to make it work.
On Face Value also rises to the top. An unexpected twist in a car chase puts Magnum into a wrenching situation, possibly the most affecting since Vietnam. An intense 'hour', all about character and inner struggle, with amazing performances by Selleck and Hillerman (Higgins). Overshadowed only by Home from the Sea.
The fourth season includes some of the best, and some lesser material -- although even the Luther Gillis episodes have their moments. There are a few here you'll only watch once, but more that are lifetime keepers.
