I bought season 2 soon after season 1. I liked season 2 better. The episodes are more consistant and more refined. It has been so long since I saw these on TV, I have forgotten the original music. The DVD music sucks and is almost the same through all the episodes. Don't but the Jumpstreet DVDs for the music.
If you liked the show when it was on the air, you should enjoy them on DVD. They hold up pretty well. If you want to see them for the first time, keep in mind they used to be better with original music and some episodes are dated.
What I enjoyed most were the memories the show brought back. Cutting my hair like Depp, wearing headbands made from old shirts, flight jackets, and thinking a guy could weigh 120 and still be tough!

How to know if you will like 21 Jump Street (season 2):
1) You adore Johnny Depp
2) You like TV shows like Degrassi or other shows that focus on teenage problems
3) You like undercover cops
4) You love the 80s
5) You like Peter DeLuise (who is very very funny in this show)
6) You like solving mysteries or crimes
7) You enjoy 21 Jump Street (season 1)
The only negatives are:
1) The theme song WILL get stuck in your head
2) Unfortunately, there are a couple of episodes that do not include Johnny at all
3) Ioki is very annoying

I don't understand why you would give an entire season of a show on DVD a poor rating just because the music has changed! What about the writing and the acting and even the lighting? There must have been other aspects of this show that you enjoyed. I mean, it wasn't an opera!
I'm sure the DVD producers would have kept the music the same if they could have gotten the rights to the songs, but clearly the music industry has some issues. Why not write and complain to the companies and individuals that refused to give the rights to the songs that you liked so very very very very much to the DVD producers, instead of giving the entire DVD a poor rating based on something the DVD producers probably couldn't do anything about (short of not releasing the show at all)?
Personally, I didn't even notice that the music was different. Any song they used on this show originally has probably been played a million times by now. I mean, it's 2005, and they were written in the 1980's for heaven's sake! Sure they probably enhanced the show at the time, and it would have been nice to have everything the same as before, but they hardly make or break the entire production.
I'm really glad that they are putting all these old shows out on DVD. If you liked 21 Jump Street the first time around, for any reason besides the music, then you should be very happy with this set. It looks and sounds great, and it has wonderful commentary on one episode (see below). If you only liked it for the music, go buy some used CD's and QYB.
(Oh, and to the person who was upset about Peter DeLuise not giving an interview...he provides truely excellent commentary for an episode in both the first and the second season. He gives you all sorts of fun behind-the-scenes stuff, and he is neither bored nor boring, which is tons more than can be said for most people who do commentaries. Please, cool TV and movie people with nothing better to do than read lame reviews on Amazon, if you are going to do a commentary on a DVD, do your fans a favor and watch this guy's first!)

When I heard that 21 Jump Street was coming out on DVD, I was relieved because I could finally discard all my old (poor quality from antenna stations) VHS tapes. Well, I'm glad I kept them because I would rather watch a poor quality VHS tape when watch what is on these DVDs. They changed the music folks!
I work for an independent record label in Chicago and Anchor Bay's version of Season 2 is not the original series because it does not contain the original music. This series was visionary with its progressive musical credits. In fact, I credit this series for introducing me to acts from Terence Trent D'Arby "Brother Hanson & the Miracle of Renner's Pond" to Depeche Mode "Out of Control" (season 4?).
The reasons behind this bad decision can vary, I know. But I'm sure most of the blame is on part of the big record labels. These dinosaurs need to realize that putting out their product can only increase sales and at the cost of Anchor Bay. I will find very interesting to know increase of sales when the original episode aired, because I know I bought Terence Trent D'Arby the next day.
This is not "THE COMPLETE SECOND SEAON" because they removed one of the series major characters, the music. If you are a lover of the original music, then I would pass on this purchase.
I rate it a 2 because I'm a huge fan of the series, but I will most like NOT buy season 3 and on if they changed the music. Plus, I will always theses reviews before buying any original TV series.
