"More Patty Duke!",
By Terry Richard "Terry Richard" (Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)
This review is from: The Patty Duke Show: Season Two (DVD)
Right on the heels of the DVD release of "The Patty Duke Show-Season 1" comes word that "The Patty Duke Show-Season 2" hits store shelves in February, 2010. I couldn't be more happier! Shout! Factory, who is releasing the classic 1960's series, has proven again that they are dedicated in bringing back pure, family television from a decade long ago for new viewers to enjoy. Although not as popular as season 1 (the show fell out of the Top 20 shows in its second year), "The Patty Duke Show" continued its reign as one of network TV's most well-written and well-acted sitcoms. The second year began on September 16th, 1964 with the opener entitled "The Green Eyed Monster" in which poor Patty is torn between two boys at school. Other highlights this season are the episode called "Practice Makes Perfect" where Patty decides to take up the tuba much to the chagrin of her family. In "Patty and The Peace Corps" Patty wants more out of life and joins the Peace Corps. Finally, in "High Society" Patty battles her old nemesis Sue Ellen for the attention of the new boy at school. All 36 episodes of "The Patty Duke Show-Season 2" are included in this set and are remastered from the original United Artists prints. So far no special features have been announced. I am sure, however, season 3 is not far behind. Thank you Shout!

This review is from: The Patty Duke Show: Season Two (DVD)
Thanks to Shout Factory, the followup to the first set of "The Patty Duke Show" is set for release in Feb. 2010. Season Two brought a slightly revised intro and a different version of the theme song (but with the same lyrics) as well as Patty's new interest in the music of the day; namely the British Invasion. Brits Chad and Jeremy play Nigel and Patrick, a duo Patty discovers. Patty sings this season, including an episode where she is backed by The Shindogs, the house band for the teen music show "Shindig" which followed "The Patty Duke Show" on ABC back in 1964. Lots more fun from Brooklyn Heights with Patty Duke and company. The first set proved to be a delight, and no doubt this followup will prove a worthy successor.

This review is from: The Patty Duke Show: Season Two (DVD)
I enjoyed the First Season of this set and the quality is very good. It's great to see the entire episodes at their full length of about 25 minutes. I was hoping for the bumper advertisements ("the Patty Duke Show is brought to you by... Breck", and other stuff like that), like they did on that 8 episode Laser Disc set released years ago, which I still have. That set had Patty and Cathy doing a couple of the Breck commercials. Oh well, we're lucky to finally get The Patty Duke Show on DVD at all. Beggars can't be choosers. The best TV shows are always released last. The junk always comes first.
I have watched all 6 discs of Season Two. Discs 1, 5 and 6 have no problems, but discs 2, 3 and 4 have a minor glitch. I have this same problem on another DVD player so it must be these 3 discs. At the menu on disc 3 there is a choice of PLAY ALL or EPISODES. If PLAY ALL is selected, that will take you to the intro teaser and beginning credits of "Best Date In Town". Then it goes directly to the intro teaser and beginning credits of "Can Do Patty", then the episode ("Best Date In Town" is skipped). On disc 4, if PLAY ALL is selected the first title, "Patty Meets A Celebrity" is played out correctly, but the second title, "The Raffle" goes through the intro teaser and beginning credits, then jumps to "The Newspaper Game" intro teaser and beginning credits then the episode ("The Raffle" is skipped). This also applies to Disc 2 on "The Greatest Psychologist In The World". That episode is skipped if PLAY ALL is selected. This problem for discs 2,3 and 4 can be solved by selecting "EPISODES" and select the first one. When the episode is finished, it goes back to the episode menu, highlights the next one to be played and you just press enter on your remote. No big deal, but this could be a sign of a quality control problem that I hope does not get worse on the Third Season set, assuming Shout Factory does release the last season. Hey, Shout Factory. Please release Season Three with extra extras! I would love to see bloopers and outtakes of Patty Duke on the set talking to her Director or the other actors and smoking a cigarette while in her Cathy or Patty digs. What a sight that would be! She was eighteen in the middle of Season Two. She was almost twenty when the Third Season ended. The Patty Duke Show has always been one of my favorite 60's comfort sitcoms. It's so damn wholesome and well done. And dig that music. The situational and background music is perfectly suited to the show. Good job, Sid Ramin. And by the way, has anyone noticed that Patty danced like nobody else? I think they call it Patty Duke dancing. Byeeee!
