 THE RETURN OF "THE HARDY BOYS & NANCY DREW"
Submitted on: 2009-03-19 |
|
Season two contains a number of solid episodes but it's the two cross-over episodes entitled The Hardy Boys & Nancy Drew Meet Dracula / The Mystery of The Hollywood Phantom that really stand out in this season for me. Season two is also bitter sweet for fans of the show because it marks the end of Pamela Sue Martin as Nancy Drew because Janet Louise Johnson replaces her as Nancy midway through the second season. Once the change in Nancy's character takes place it becomes evident that this show will never be the same and the end for Nancy Drew isn't far behind.
Season two is a mixed bag when it comes to the quality of plots the actors were given to work with but if its nostalgia you're after then season two is definitely for you. The 70's were the best when it came to family entertainment and I can't think of any show on television today that families can sit and watch together. The 22 episodes included in this set are filled with mystery, suspense, adventure and pure fun for the whole family even if they're a little dated.
The quality of the picture and sound in season two is really decent and I'm glad I've added this DVD set to my collection. I don't remember seeing or hearing this show look or sound as good as it does on DVD. Finally Universal Studios has done something right and presented season two on 5 single sided discs with nice artwork and detail. The disc packaging and artwork are well done and Universal Studios should be commended for their efforts.
If you're looking for more mystery and suspense then season two of "The Hardy Boys / Nancy Drew Mysteries" may be for you! Season two of this classic 70's television series finds the three unlikely sleuths in fine form and up to the challenges that await them. Shaun Cassidy, Parker Stevenson and Pamela Sue Martin have returned for 22 more mysterious and thrilling adventures in season two and fans of this show won't be disappointed. All we need now is the final season to complete the series.

 A good show for young teens, even with its age. Not as good as first season

The makers of this DVD is a quality production, well made. No special features or interviews of the stars later, regarding the show. The second season is not as good as the first, but if you (or your young teenager) desires more Nancy Drew or Hardy Boys, it is good. The first season was great, good plots, and Nancy Drew was and independent, strong charactor with a good & funny supporting friends. The second season sees the Nancy Drew show fall apart. The lead (Pamela Sue Martin) leaves the show, her friends are replaced by other actors, who are all "blond haired, blue eyed, typical 1970's teens who cannot act." The original support cast of Nancy Drew's friends, although were geeks, had much more charactor.
The Hardy Boys shows of the second season are still very good and interesting, although several of the shows have mystery plots that do not really make sense or are just hard to follow or figure out. You can see they are trying to boost ratings by shooting in exotic places, but they dont seem to focus in on the most important aspect-the plot. Still, a good, clean, show for kids, you will chuckle at the "1970's" clothing, very disco and very tight, and such. |

| I am a great fan of the Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew DVD series which aired in the 1970-80 's. Can't wait for Season 3 to come out on DVD. I would recommend this set to anyone who loves mysteries. |

Classic Mystery Series

Sorry to say that the main reason I liked this TV Series was because of Shaun Cassidy. Story lines were interesting and exciting, but being a fan of the Partridges, it was only natural that their real lives would enter into other areas. This happened with The Hardy Boys. Not trying to take away Shaun's talents because he is an extremely talented man - both in front and behind the cameras. If you like mysteries you won't be sorry in getting this series.

 Nancy Drew season 2

We have come a long way with our television shows and acting skills.
Lots of interesting stories ut not really relevant for today. These dvds would really only interest those that are fans of this tv show when it came out years ago. My kids like them but at the same time got a big kick out of the styles and interesting dialog. I liked seeing some of the stars when they were younger. |
