I agree with the previous reviewer - the Sonny Steelgrave arc was brilliant, with superb performances from Ken Wahl, Jonathon Banks and Ray Sharkey. But why take out the song 'Nights in White Satin' which was the perfect backdrop to the final confrontation? The song highlighted the emotions that the Vinnie and Sonny were feeling and really added to the scene. Other than that, I can't recommend the DVD highly enough.

In case anybody besides Amazon missed it, Ken Wahl played Vincent Terranova for at least the first three seasons of Wiseguy. I'm not sure if he was replaced by Stephen Bauer (the actor who played "Manny", Tony Montana's buddy in Scarface) beginning with season 4 or later, but ALL of the Amazon product descriptions which state that these boxed sets of Wiseguy star Stephen Bauer and NOT Ken Wahl are INCORRECT.

I just finished the Sonny Steelgrave arc and was disappointed with only one thing. In the last episode of the Arc, when Sonny and Vinnie are in the theater, they changed the background music from the original. They kept Good Lovin', but replaced Nights in White Satin with some nondescript instrumental track. Other than that, the set was great!
