Yes, the Untouchables Season II continues the same hard-hitting,
brilliantly filmed drama which equals the quality of the First Season; in fact, the "Purple Gang" episode, with it's dark, brooding atmosphere and the unhinged brutality of Steve Cochran's character, is about as intense as you'd be likely to see in the still-early days of TV.
I, too am disappointed in the editorial tampering with these episodes, including the lack of "bumpers" at the end of each act. WORSE though,for me, is the general visual quality of the shows, which is a DEFINITE step DOWN from the that of the first season---lots of graininess, etc. Apparently this set was taken from a set of tapes edited for TV syndication.
So what's up, CBS-Paramount? Why charge the same HIGH price per episode while delivering shoddier quality?
Another oddity of Season 2; for some reason (probably as a cost-saving
measure), there is a heavy use of what sounds like MUSIC-LIBRARY tracking
in the background scores of these episodes. There's lots of music that sounds like that goofy "symphonic-moderne" stuff from the 1950's, as if the music editor on the show was raiding the same library that Ed Wood did for "Plan 9". It's really disconcerting, having become used to the gritty, jazzed-up "noir" sound of the first season.
Still, it's darn good viewing, from TV's greatest era.

Just like the previous releases of this series, Season 2 Volume 1 continues to provide great watching. The quality of the video and sound is excellent and Robert Stack and the great narration by Walter Winchell add greatly to the collectibility of this series. Can't wait for future releases of The Untouchables series.

Gritty, hard edged, superbly done.....they do not make TV shows of this quality anymore. Always interesting to see some of Hollywoood's old guard making guest appearances at a time when their careers were just getting going. Can't wait for add'l seasons to be released!

I'm not crazy about how they are selling these Seasons in multiple volumes, but when they delete the segways it's enough for me to want a refund. Maybe they will fix this in a future release. Would not buy.

This Untouchables dvd is good viewing because of the history involved. Plus information which the discs give.A must see again entertaining slightly comical four cd set.
