The Lieutenant-Complete Series Part 2 DVD Review

Warner Archive has released the remaining 13 episodes from this ground breaking series in “The Lieutenant-The Complete Series” Part 2.  Other series regulars include Richard Anderson (Six Million Dollar Man, Bionic Woman) as Lt Colonel Steve Hiland and Linda Evans (The Big Valley, Dynasty) as his daughter Nan.  Before the series premièred, Lockwood wanted to concentrate on Movies and ditch the series but was advised not to.  Robert Vaughn had an Oscar nomination under his belt and though he should have been paid more but was put in a series after this one that proved to the world that his popularity would soar with “The Man From UNCLE”!  Guest stars in this set include Pat Crowley (Please Don’t Eat the Daises), Nita Talbot (Night Shift), Jan Merlin (Tom Corbett, Space Cadet), Dennis Hopper (Blue Velvet), Don Marshall (Land of the Giants), Ted Knight (Caddyshack, Too Close for Comfort), Bobby “Boris” Pickett (Monster Mash), Chad Everett (Medical Center), Kevin Hagen (Little House on the Prairie), Joseph Campanella (Mannix), Robert Duvall,  Leslie Parrish (Lil’ Abner), Lloyd Bochner (Dynasty) and Denver Pyle (Dukes of Hazzard).  There were four actors that were used in Roddenberry’s next series Star Trek on this set.  There were three series regulars Leonard Nimoy, Walter Koenig and Majal Barrett and the other was none other than Ricardo Montalban (Space Seed, Star Trek II and Fantasy Island).   Two neat things about this set are the unaired episode “To Set It Right” that was never aired due to the subject matter with Star Trek’s Nichelle Nichols and the theatrical film that was made from the last episode of the series called “To Kill A Man” that has not been seen that often since its original release in 1964 called also “To Kill A Man” as an extra on this set!

VIDEO

The video quality is great!  The series was done on film and no restoration has been done, yet the quality is great considering the age of the prints!   Each episode runs approx 50 mins.
