A heady blast of nostalgia awaits in G.I. Joe Series 2: Season 2, the final go-round for DIC Entertainment's take on the long-running animated action series. It goes without saying that for many die-hard Joe fans, the DIC version, which ran from 1990 to 1991, pales in comparison with the previous incarnation by Sunbow Entertainment: only a handful of established characters, like General Hawk, Cobra Commander, and Duke, made the leap to the DIC series, which focuses largely on newer characters like Storm Shadow and the arch villain Cesspool. Animation quality, too, is subordinate to the Sunbow Joe, which may remain a stumbling block for many viewers. Despite these issues, the second season of the DIC Joe remains true to the series' core appeal: lots of animated action carried out by an elaborate array of Joe and Cobra characters in high-tension (and increasingly outrageous) scenarios. True, some of the plotlines border on camp, most notably the two-part "Long Live Rock and Roll," in which Cobra uses rock music to turn a skyscraper into a sonic weapon, and "Metal-Head's Reunion," in which the unstable Cobra heel Metal-Head and Captain Grid-Iron discover that they were former high school classmates. For many, these offbeat turns may increase the enjoyment of season two, and they don't detract from more straight-faced efforts like "The Chunnel," which finds the Queen of England in Cobra's clutches, and the ripe "Sludge Factor," which establishes the Joker-esque Cesspool as a brand-new villain. All 20 episodes of season two are included in the three-disc set, which does its best to preserve the lower-quality image and audio of the DIC presentation. A featurette called The Toy Team Remembers, which talks about the 1990-1991 Joe toy line with members of the Hasbro design and development team, is minor but likable. --Paul Gaita

Format:DVD
"G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero - Series 2, Season 2" collects all 20 episodes of this 1991 show on three discs. This was not produced by Sunbow, but DiC and it shows in the animation quality. Also to be noted is the change in voice cast that took place. It also focuses on new characters for the most part. A few original characters are left including General Hawk, Duke, Storm Shadow, Snake Eyes, Cobra Commander, and Destro.

Gone is the familiar "A Real American Hero" theme song, which is replaced by one that mentions America once instead of several times. The "A Real American Hero" tagline is missing from the show's logo as well. This was obviously done to sell the show easier to other countries.

The picture quality is probably the best Shout Factory could get using the original video source material. It still looks a lot better than any video cassette copies enthusiasts have been watching up until now. The audio is mono but has good clarity. There's been no fake stereo conversion performed here.

5.0 out of 5 stars Yeah for G.I. Joe July 30, 2012
Format:DVD
I remember G.I. Joe from when my brothers were younger and honestly I always liked it. This set is great because it features all 20 episodes from Season 2 (Series 2) of the show. I think it is great too that my husband can now share his love of the show with our boys. The show doe obviously have weapons but I didn't find it real inappropriate for kids. It is classic G.I.Joe fun. Oh and the animation is the best they could probably get since the show is like 20 years old!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Tech Heavy G.I. Joe Show! December 8, 2012
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
While I like the light-hearted tone of this series; it noticed there are more vehicles and potential toys being showcased in this version. The stories, while well written, are still true to the spirit of the franchise. I still purchased this just for the nostalgia factor and how cartoons were produced in the 1990's. Back when cartoons were in syndication; the producers could create stories that normally would not be in Saturday morning cartoons.
