Rating:  - A little fact checking goes a long way ...
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.
Rating: - Wiseguy -- no bad eps
Okay, the White Supremacy arc isn't the greatest arc. But it does have some great moments. Vinnie and Frank cementing their friendship, which began so hesitantly in the Profitt arc, is terrific. The bad guys aren't as likable in this arc, but maybe it's fun now and then to have someone to gleefully boo and hiss at.
The Rag Trade arc is great for any number of reasons. The tortured trio of Beckstead, Raglin, and McPike show us with their nightmares of longlasting guilt that Vinnie isn't ... Read More
Rating: - Garment Story & Return of Sonny Steelgrave are worth it !!!
I got hooked on Wiseguy when it was a late-night staple on CBS 1989ish. After seeing all the garbage TV shows released on DVD I sent many an e-mail to Stephen Cannell's website asking if and when Wiseguy would be released on DVD. I was thrilled when I saw the Steelgrave Arc released and was hoping that it was not just a one time experiment. The first 2 sets were great. The interviews with Johnathan Banks and Stephen Cannell in the first set along with Kevin Spacey, William Russ & Joan Severance's ... Read More
Rating: - It's all good !
For a objective review some perspective is needed here.The First Season of Wiseguy (Steegrave/proffitt arcs)was some of the most brilliant,well written and intense television ever produced and clearly difficult to follow up,therefore it's easy to see this half of the second season as inferior in quality, but thats not entirely fare.
At the end of the Proffitt arc Vinnie,completely burned out and psychologically traumatised resigned as a deep cover agent from the OCB. Season 2 opens with him ... Read More
Rating: - Great show; 1 great arc.
Granted, this was my all-time favorite show; even I have to question the quality of the KKK arc presented here. On the other hand, I thought the Rag Trade arc shone brightly despite the lack of Wahl's participation. Ron Silver and a surprisingly effective Jerry Lewis create the tension and dramatic payoffs we expect from the series, but Tucci steals the show with a deliciously slimy turn as the villain. I loved this arc! The KKK arc has its moments; Fred D. Thompson is imperious as ever, and we get the first ... Read More
