Season 2, volume 1 of the original "Untouchables" is now out. Historically, this series is about as accurate as "The Flintstones," but it's riveting crime melodrama nonetheless. (The original series is about 500 times better than the mediocre big-screen Brian De Palma 1980s film with the colorless Kevin Costner as Eliot Ness. The second 1990s TV series was also better than the movie, but this original series is the best.) It was, hands down, the most violent television series up to that time, and remains pretty strong even by modern standards. The first episode of season two features a young, pre-Bewitched Elizabeth Montgomery in an unforgettable performance as a moll named "Rusty Heller," who gets the hots for Robert Stack.

Great writing. Great acting. Great music. Great photography. Other than that, not much!! A few decades ahead of its time.

I enjoyed the release of this set except for 1 thing; the editing of the bumpers off of the close of each act. As another person pointed out it is a complete hack job; the music builds to a crescendo and then they fade it out and hack off the window at the end. Another person thought they had messed with music tracks, but I have Beta (taped off air copies) and the music is the same. In fact, I have worked in TV for a long time and this is the same music that was on the original series, then when it went into syndication in the late 60's and every repeat of it in various syndicated formats over the years. I used see the films come into a tv station I worked at back in 1972 and the unedited film used to run around 52 minutes. These episodes run around 50:20, so besides the windows being cut off of each act they edited another minute out somewhere. They may have also used speed processing to compress it to save the time. Does anyone know why they would cut the end act windows off? It can't be for time. It can't be for copyright. So why would they do this? I am extremely disappointed, but CBS/Paramount doesn't care, as they think they are doing us a favor by releasing them at all.

Thanks to all who offered the heads-up about the clipped bumpers.
These half-season releases are a sucker's game. Wait until all the episodes have been released. At that time CBS-Paramount will likely offer a complete series boxed-set release at a much cheaper per-episode cost. If not, the price of half-season "volumes" will have dropped substantially by that time. I'll get by with my bootlegs until then.
