Product Description:
Now you can own all 32 episodes of season two of this treasured television classic, digitally remastered for the highest quality picture and audio possible in the original, full frame 4.3 aspect ratio.
Famous for its catchy Nelson Riddle theme song, intriguing characters, top-drawer writing and stellar guest star appearances, Route 66 was one of the most highly rated shows of the era, establishing the Corvette as an American icon.
Filmed in locations from coast to coast, the adventures continue for Tod Stiles (Martin Milner), an intellectual who has led a privileged and sheltered life, and Buz Murdock (George Maharis), a tough young man, raised in Hell's Kitchen, struggling his entire life just to survive.
The duo encounter folks good and bad even chance encounters with love in shipyards, chicken farms, cattle ranches, rodeos, hospitals, courtrooms, hotels, amusement parks, wrestling rings, religious retreats and wild animal parks.
Guest starring in the sophomore season is a renowned list of stars, including Robert Redford, Douglas Fairbanks, Robert Duvall, Suzanne Pleshette, Lon Chaney Jr., John Astin, James Caan, Lee Marvin, Martin Sheen, Ed Asner, DeForest Kelley, Marion Ross, Peter Graves, Jack Warden, Tuesday Weld and Julie Newmar, among others.

Rating: - I itch to hit the road.
This show was a few years before I was born and I must say that I have been waiting a long time to see it. I too love to see America and since this show cameout on DVD I have taken four trips to different parts of the country just because they showed them on this show. I love the scenery and liked seeing how America used to be before it became one big mall. I love the jazz inspired episodes. My only complaint is that some of the episodes are very dark and have the touching of human tragedy. I guess ... Read More
Rating: - The Third Time is a Charm
If you've previously purchased the split season 1 DVD releases of "Route 66" from Infinity Entertainment, you know that Route 66 - Season 1, Vol. 1 episodes were of variable visual quality and one episode, "A Fury Slinging Flame," was severely edited.

After numerous complaints ... Read More
Rating: - They Got It Right This Time!!! - Thank You!
Route 66 is my all-time favorite TV show - and this time for Season Two Infinity/Roxbury did it right! After a few problems with Season One such as some quality issues with some episodes in Season One Volume One to Season One Volume Two being remastered in the non-original Widescreen format which cut off tops and bottoms of tight shots (this series uses very dramatic camera work at times), it appears the company listened to the complaints and did a great job with this release. For SEASON TWO - The Widescreen ... Read More

I am 59 years old and grew up in Nashville. I discovered "Route 66" in the fall of 1960 and very quickly became addicted to the program. I just read a synopsis of the episodes for the 1961-62 season. My mind flashed back to the time I saw them on television. "Route 66" was a superb program and quite realistic--to a point. What makes me scratch my head in wonderment is the fact these two fellows were just run of the mill working stiffs yet each fall they would be driving a new Corvette. I would guess there ...
