Summary: Combat - Season 1, Campaign 2
Comment: This edition of Combat! has 16 episodes &, once again, they're not in broadcast order but in production order. A minor point but it's not quite the way it was. We no longer have Shecky Greene (Pvt. Braddock) but Jack Hogan (Pvt. Kirby) has become more visible in this set. Season one of Combat! had more fluctuation in the supporting cast & that wouldn't become more solidified until the next season.
This set does have one of my favorite episodes, "The Walking Wounded". Saunders has received a minor wound that forces him to seek medical attention on his own back at their lines. His wound isn't bad enough to ensure him a ride, hence he's' walking wounded', but he does end up getting a ride on an ambulance. The driver isn't too keen about driving through the combat areas but Saunders takes control. It's a great episode for Vic Morrow. "Hill 256" is more drama than action as Pvt. Kirby faces a court martial for cowardice. Jack Hogan gets an opportunity to be the main focus of a script & he proves to be more than adequate as an actor. "Battle of the Roses" is one of the oddest episodes of Combat! that has Saunders trying to convince a French woman to leave the sanctity of her garden. "The Sniper" is full of some tense moments, the title tells it all. The final episode, "No Trumpet, No Drums" was an excellent show for the finale to season one. Caje (Pierre Jalbert) has killed a Frenchman & must deal with the dead man's daughter. Caje is very distraught & becomes distracted from his duty.
Like all the Combat! season sets that are a lot of bonus features. Season one has Steven Rogers portraying the medic, Doc. Rogers would only appear in the first season & would be replaced by Conlan Carter thereafter. Season one was a good season for Combat! but its best seasons are two & three.

Summary: as good as I remember
Comment: I haven't seen these episodes in 45 years and this show is just as good as I remember. In fact I don't recall having seen these episodes before since I was only 8 or 9 years old when they originally aired.But the quality of the stories is every bit as good as the episodes from other seasons that I do remember.There are sopme "technical" mistakes in the use of stock war footage(bombing a french villa when it's clearly a railroad yard the bombs are falling on)but hey, it's a TV show not a documentory!And for all the times these guys are wounded they would need a suitcase for all the purple hearts!But again,it's a TV show.The stories are more than just shoot'em up, blow'em up. The moral and ethical delemmas the soldiers are faced with are what set this show apart from other war dramas. I highly recommend it.

Summary: Excellent Combat series
Comment: I have purchased all 5 seasons of Combat as the shows are full of action, suspense and the actors are exceptional. It's a shame we lost Vic Morrow as he was the best of the best. These 5 seasons are something I will watch over and over.

Now he has already watched 5 of the episodes. I will definitely be ordering more of these as I can. I can always trust Amazon for quality items and prompt service. I would recommend this set to anyone who likes World War II shows.

Summary: Realistic, well done series - great DVD release
Comment: I own the entire COMBAT! DVD collection. I watched this series when it originally aired in the '60's when I was a kid, and still love it today. This particular set - Season I Part II has a lot of really great, realistic, well done stories in it. Great acting, realistic effects and great stories. You can't go wrong with this great set of DVD's. Unlike many DVD releases, COMBAT! was done right on DVD - excellent picture quality and sound, and lots of extras. The picture quality is great especially when you consider these episodes are from the 1960's. A bargain at the price and free shipping - you just can't beat this deal. My 12 year old boy watches these along with me and he enjoys them as well.
