I have really liked watching Mannix, The Second Season. I had taped them off the TV but the tapes are getting bad and have been WAITING for Mannix to come out on DVDs. Thanks so much. I enjoy Mike Connors and Gail Fisher and their detecting.

I watched this show as a kid, and wondered if it would still hold up for me - some shows do, some don`t. After picking it up and checking it anew, I was pleasantly surprised that it was even a better show than I remembered. My wife, who had never seen it as she is younger than I, also became a fan while watching. The show is simple, direct, solid, and consistantly entertaining - no wonder it was on from 1967 to 1975 (tho I only watched the first 3 seasons before my social life precluded future viewing). Rarely has an actor so immersed himself in a TV character that it's impossible to separate the two. This series represents one of those times, Mike Connors was Mannix, make no mistake about it... Lots of violence, great big old American cars, miniskirts and big hair aplenty on the actresses, tons of drinking done during the day, everyone smoking cigarettes - we were genetically stronger and had much thicker skin in those days, and didn`t blame society or our parents for our shortcomings and weaknesses. (Too bad we`re not more like that today). Anywho, you should give this one a shot, you won`t be disappointed you did, not like when I rewatched 'The Mod Squad', which was a Godawful melodramatic mess and complete waste of time...

The first and second seasons of Mannix contain everything a TV fan could want from a DVD release. Each contains superb color, great audio, original musical score and most of all, great packaging at a reasonable price. I(among others) have long been critical of Paramount's schizophrenic pricing and packaging strategies. Specifically, gouging consumers with partial season sets at twice the going price. But somebody there is doing right by Mannix(at least so far). I hope they keep it up. If Paramount used THIS as a guideline for all the other TV on DVD, I'd never boycott another one of their releases.

My family and I thoroughly enjoy this detective show. Unlike the smut that is on tv today, Hollywood knew how to create a mind engaging tv detective show that had you guessing "who-dunit" until the end of the show!!

Tough, cool loners don't answer to anyone except themselves, and that's the Mannix way. Go it alone. Be tough. Be smart. And, most importantly of all, be honest, brutally honest. The chicks all dig you, but chicks are a dime a dozen, and besides, you've got things to do. You've got a crime to solve. You've got a mystery to unravel. You've got a bullet to dodge. There are bad guys who think they can handle you, but you make them think about it a whole lot harder. The bad guys end up changing their minds, but you never change yours. You believe in yourself. You believe in the truth. You believe in helping good, honest people and turning dishonest people upside down. Your tough, never-say-die nature was made even tougher in the Korean War. You served your country. You came home a hero. And the hero in you found himself a new mission. Your new mission: be tough, be cool, be Mannix!
If you're familiar with the show, all you really need to know is that the DVD's do the show proud. They have great picture quality and include all the episodes of season two with the awesome and beautiful Peggy. No special features, and that's a shame, but the show is as it should be: unedited and right at our fingertips. Bring on season 3.
