This review is from: The Untouchables: Season 2, Vol. 2 (DVD)

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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Enough is Enough!, June 23, 2008

The Program is first rate but Paramount's performance rates a "F".
We as fans of the Untouchable Series showned our loyalty by buying the first season in half season sets at inflated prices.
I will continue to purchase other series such as Mission Impossible where Paramount issues complete seasons for less than $35.
However for the Untouchables I'm through.
I will buy no more Untouchable programs at nearly $60 a season.
If the execs at Paramount think this plan is good marketing just watch them drive loyal Untouchable fans away.
In my case they have already succeeded.
In the end Paramount will lose revenues, fans will lose the programs and Paramount will blame their mistakened greed on "lack of buyer interest".

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.
