Well what can I say that you don't already know . Soulfood is one of the best television mini series to hit the air ways since The Cosby Show . To have had a black family portrayed in such a positive manner was truly something beautiful and heart felt . I have been waiting for the second season since forever . My only prayer is that dispite what Paramount may or would like to receive in sales concerning this item that they do not make us wait any more years befor the following seasons fall in place to be released . So to all those who kept the faith and prayed as I did stay strong and keep holding on !!! How could we not give it five hell a hundred stars. So thank you again , I'll be waiting !!!!!!!!!

I've always love this series from the first day it aired on Showtime and I'm been anxiously awaiting the release of the series on DVD. I bought season 1 and was scared that they'd never release season 2. Well, now the time has finally come. I've purchased my copy of season 2 and I was a bit disappointed. I had already heard that some of the music was editted out, but unfortunately, some scenes are as well. I've only been able to watch the 4 episodes on the first DVD and the 1st episode on the 2nd one. What didn't make much sense is. the singer Kina is announced in the club, yet you don't see her nor do they play her music. They also cut out scenes where Teri meets Kristine at Damon's and the scene where Bird returns to the shop for the 1st time since the accident. Also, in the first episode in the season, the opening credits say there will be an appearance by Nicki Micheaux (Lyla), yet, I never saw her in that episode. These are just some things I've noticed so far, and I haven't even seen all 5 discs yet. This has disappointed me quite a bit. However, it's still better than the BET version, so it's worth the money. I just don't understand why was it such a problem with contractural rights that the series couldn't be released, uneditted like 'Friends' or 'Seinfeld'. The same thing with 'Girlfriends'-they had all sorts of issues with DVD release and contracts/rights, so it took forever to release the series. Is it that people on the black tv series' just can't get along? What is the deal?

Anyway, I'm still very excited to have season 2 and hopefully it doesn't take as long to release the remaining seasons. I'm also hoping they're not as "chopped up" like they did with season 2.

I am so excited to have this second season available. It is unfortunate that it took this long, but sometimes good things have to come in their own time. The first season has brought many thoughtful, reflective, and inspirational moments into my space. Yes, periodically I have to watch it to get my fix on just how valuable that program was to a lot of viewers. Universal themes handled with savvy, never pretending that we are more than human after all. Stories of a continuing sereis that capture the good, the bad, the ugly, and the beautiful of what it means to be human. Human foibles are what they are, but they are not the end of the world. Soul Food helped us to see that we do make it through even the tough times.

Welcome Season Two!!! I've nearly worn Season One to shreds. I've been waiting patiently for your arrival. I know what you brought before and anticipate that I will be equally delighted as the circle continues. I hope Seasons 3-5 will closely follow the release of this season. Thanks to all the people who bothered to petition for the release of this set.

After I purchased Season 1, I prayed for SEASON 2 to be released!! Finally after 4 years, it's being released!! I pray it doesn't take longer for future seasons!! These boxsets are a must have!! Soul Food is soooooo addicting!! I still watch the episodes on BET!! I can't wait!!

I have been waiting for this to come out on DVD since the show ended. I love the show all the actors are great. There is never a dull moment with any of these sisters.

I was one of the people who kept writing letters to Paramount inquiring when they would release Season 2 of the series. At one point I did receive a response and they claimed they had no plans to release season 2 because of poor sales of Season 1, but I refused to give up, and wrote them again, and again, and again. Not to mention signing the peitions to have the show released. I guess there is something to being persistent!!! I was overjoyed when I finally saw an announcement saying Season 2 was being released and I made sure I had my money put aside so I could buy my copy right away.

Unlike many of you that watched the show while it aired on Showtime, I never saw the show. It's hard watching on BET because they edit it so much I know I'm missing some good parts. I was anxious to know what happened after the car accident. I finally got the answer and so much more.

Being I never saw the show when it originally aired, I honestly don't know what I'm missing with regards to scenes being cut, or the music. I could tell with at least one episode something was removed, but aside of that I enjoy the DVD set very much.

What I would love is some commentary from the actors. How about some scenes that got cut before it aired, gag reels? Some extras with the actors discussing how they felt playing their characters would be awesome.

So many things were touched upon in Season 2:
1. Damon finally branching out on his own to go into sports management.
2. Byrd trying to expand her business, but not jeopardize her marriage and family life.
3. Lem's mother, whoooooo she is quite a character.
4. Bird dealing with her bladder issue after the surgery, and Lem reaction to her problem.
5. Teri and her anxiety attacks.
6. Maxine runs for Alderman.
7. Lem being the main suspect in the arson of the family store.
8. Lem and Bird embarrassing rash incident.
9. Ahmad and his girl issues.



Some of the special guests Michael Jai White as Terri's ex husband Russell. Kenny "Babyface" Edmunds in a sexual discrimination scam. Djimon Honsou as Victor Onuka love interest to Terri and opponent in a case. Treach as the neighborhood drug dealer, thug.

I'm very happy to know that Season 3 will be out next year and I plan to get that as well. I just hope we won't have to wait too long for the release of Season 4 and 5. I see many Soul Food marathons ahead in my future.

When Soul Food aired back 7 years ago- I was so proud to see us reflected positively and not sterotypical. I am so thankful to the fans who petitioned Showtime to release the highly anticipated Season 2!!! For a long time I had been thinking the same thing like "when are they going to release season 2? Well I'm glad someone stepped up and made a difference in our viewing rights! After all we have kept the season alive during its peak and post its departure.. I'm ordering mine! Assalam Malakum...

It's about time I have been waiting for this for awhile now.. I hope the rest of Seasons do not take years to release also.

After waiting for years of the release of season 2, I can say it was well worth the wait. I could not wait to watch it. We locked ourselves in the room and my wife and I watched the series over a weekend. You won't be disappointed. I just hope I don't have to wait another two years for the other seasons.
