Falcon Crest: Season 2 (6 Disc)

I was pleasantly surprised when I received the second season of Falcon Crest in DVD-R format. I was expecting low quality DVD's, but I was happy to discover that the quality was quite good. In my opinion, the second season was the best season of Falcon Crest. It kept the viewer wanting to see more. I remember when I watched it for the first time in 1982-83, I could not wait for the show to come on immediately after Dallas on Friday night. The cliffhanger was one of the best, if not the best, of all primetime soaps. I was shocked to discover that one of the major characters was the murderer. I liked the way the writers worked the reason for the murder into the storyline so seamlessly. I also liked the way that Jacqueline was revealed to be the head of the cartel. I even remembered some lines from the cliffhanger, such as when Melissa tells Angela that it must be a joke that she is offering to buy her grapes at a very low price and Angela replies, "Do I look like I'm joking?" with such a serious expression on her face, when Melissa tells Angela that she will wait to sell her grapes to Richard and Angela tells her that she will be "the raisin queen of the Tuscany Valley" if she waits for him to return, and when Julia states that "this isn't a family, it's a snake pit" at Vicki and Nick's reception. These are memorable lines that are not common to today's shows. I highly recommend that you purchase these DVD's. You will be very pleased that you did.

Loved this show just wish I could get the complete series

Falcon Crest really hit its stride in the second season. David Selby as Richard Channing was a great addition and really gave Jane Wyman a fun nemesis. The seasons mystery centers around the murder of vineyard owner and Channing in-law Carlo Agretti. The murderer is revealed in the last episode and it was a complete surprise to me. Television today is a lot of reality shows and crime procedurals, none particularly fun. Falcon Crest is a lot of fun!

The first season was slow for me. It reminded me of the first season of Dynasty. Anyway Season 2 moved along pretty well and was interesting. The problem with it was there was so much going on that they dropped/delayed two of the plots. They created the shooting of Melissa's dad and the framing of Cole. Then they just kinda dropped it and moved on to other stuff. And they did the same about Cole being the father of Melissa's baby. It was a big deal at the end of Season 1--their relationship. The baby's father was still of interest at the beginning of season two. Then they just stated it as fact, hide the baby's father's identity, and let things ride. Strange. No father fighting to see his kid. No love story between them. Nothing. Weird. Anyway per most of my other comments on the tv shows of this era I grew up watching this show off and on. I was not a devote viewer. But I remember as a kid seeing Chase and his famil y as the "good" family. And Angela as the "mean" one. Well I watch it now and see that it is just typical 70s/80s liberal vs conservative. Communism vs capitalism, even. Angela is family oriented and a good business woman who is hated for it. Chase is the tree hugging, illegal immigrant protecting, "anti-business" person. But what is so weird is as Chase is built up as the hero of the story he becomes more and more arrogant and bosy--he turns into Angela. Pounding fists on tables. Demanding of the police. Threatening. Making deals behind closed doors. Etc. But on a technical note one thing I could do without in these DVDs is the commercial breaks. They interrupt the show with the announcer saying "Falcon Crest will return" or whatever and then instead of seeing commercials you see the FC emblem and hear the announcer stated "And now Falcon Crest" or whatever. Why waste our time with that. But if that keeps the costs down so we can actually see the rest of the seasons then I'll deal with it.

The only disappointment is that all seasons aren’t available on DVD. One of the best cliffhangers since Dallas’ “Who shot JR” ends this season!

Always loved this show

one of the best seasons ever on Falcon Crest. Great storyline, great acting, great directing and the sets are fabulous. The finale very suspenseful and well executed.

My order came to me real quick. watching Falcon Crest has been a lot of fun. If only I can get help in obtaining Dynasty the Seventh Season.
