The Call Of The Wolf

I have waited a long time for Airwolf-Season 2 to be released. I had even signed online petitions on various Airwolf fan's websites. No one knew if the studio would even release Season 2. I had checked the new DVD releases in the paper every week for at least a year and a half. Finally, they were released!
Season 2 is similar to Season 1. The addition of Jean Bruce Scott as Caitlin O'Shaunessy initially did not sit well with many fans. Later she came into her own as a member of the team. Some good stories were built around her.
Jan-Michael Vincent was starting to have more drinking problems around this time, but at least his on-screen acting doesn't show it. Earnest Borgnine was great as always. They made a good team, even though they came from different generations.
There is no question that Airwolf was one of the best shows of the 80's. It is not just mindless action-adventure scenes of things blowing up. There is real drama in many of the stories. Some, of course, I like better than others. But I don't remember any being real stinkers.
While I have not watched all the Season 2 episodes yet due to lack of time, I hope to sometime in the near future.
The transfer from film to DVD is in the regular screen format (4:3 ratio) as it was filmed. The quality of the picture itself is pretty good. There basically are no DVD extras, just the episodes as they were aired. At least they don't have commercials. If you run your audio through a nice stereo or surround system, you can hear the audio like never before. While it is not digital, it sounds better than the tinny TV speakers we had in the 80's.
I am looking forward to Season 3 being released someday. For now, I urge everyone who is a fan to buy Season 2 and 1. You will not be disappointed.
