Customer Rating: Summary: Combat - Season 2, Mission 1 Comment: Season two of Combat! is an improvement over the previous season. The producers & directors were now on the same page as to what direction the series should take. This makes it more focused & the story lines are tighter. As a child I watched Combat! because it was such an action packed show. The explosions, the bullets flying, the jockeying for position. But Combat! was an excellent drama also. Watching these episodes proves that. There was a lot of focus on the repercussions of war, the human conflict, the triumphs & tragedies. Many times we would get to see some of the inner conflict or the emotional results of what war did to men. Combat! had many major guest stars in the first season but season two seems to have kicked that up a notch. Some of these include Lee Marvin, James Caan, James Coburn, Eddie Albert, Nick Adams & Richard Basehart. It's sad that the episodes aren't in the order they were originally telecast but that's show business. What is arguably the best episode of Combat! is in this set. "The Bridge at Chalons" guest stars Lee Marvin as a demolition expert. The conflict between him & the squad, especially Saunders, gives the show an incredibly suspenseful edge. "Doughboy" guest stars Eddie Albert that is something of a stretch but is enjoyable. albert portrays a WWI veteran who has married a French Woman & has remained in France. He seems to have a permanent case of battle fatigue because he keeps having flashbacks. "Bridgehead" guest stars Nick Adams as a jazz drummer who doesn't want to be a soldier. "Masquerade" features James Coburn as a GI but who is, in reality, a German soldier. Saunders becomes aware that Coburn is not all he appears to be. "The Party" is a comedy relief episode that has Kirby in charge. Caje & Nelson are with him as they compete with three American sergeants for the attention of three beautiful French women. "Anatomy of a Patrol" is another one of Combat's best episodes. It guest stars James Caan as a German sergeant. Saunders & his squad are sent out to recover the camera from an observation plane that has crashed. A German patrol is sent there for the same reason. What makes this episode so unique is Caan's thoughtful portrayal; he's a soldier that thinks. The episode becomes a contest between Caan & Morrow as to who will out think the other. There are bonus features on each disc that include audio commentaries on three episodes, "The Bridge at Chalons", "Bridgehead" & "Anatomy of a Patrol" Two interviews are included, one with Vic Morrow & the other with Pierre Jalbert (Caje). The last one contains a lot of insights into Combat! There's also a photo gallery from the location filmings. Customer Rating: Summary: Combat! review Comment: Have not watched any of the episodes from season 2, but am glad to be able to enjoy this classic 1960's WW2 series. Customer Rating: Summary: Combat Comment: This brings back so many memories. It was a great series and every season just gets more intense. Customer Rating: Summary: I'm so glad I found this!!!! Comment: I grew up watching Combat on Sunday mornings. My brother and I would get up early on Sunday morning and watch an episode of The Little Rascals, then The Lone Ranger, then Combat!, and then an old Johny Weismueller Tarzan movie. I was in a pawn shop the other day and could not believe what I saw. The complete second season of Combat. A flood of great memories from my childhood came rushing back to me. After watching TV on Sunday mornings, my brother and I would go out in the woods and reenact the Combat episode we had seen. The woods in Sarasota, Florida were protected at all times from Nazis on Sunday afternoons. Combat is without question one of the best shows to ever be on television. It is as realistic as can be. Every story is believable, exciting, and you are fully engaged in each and every episode. Of course Sgt. Saunders was my favorite character, he wore the cool camoflagued helmet and his Tommy gun was always at the ready. Rick Jason who played the lieutenant must have been in the military. I am in Iraq now and lietenants have not changed a bit since World War II, maybe even before. This whole set is great and every episode is action packed. But my two favorite episodes from this set are 'The Doughboy' and 'The Bridge'. In 'The Doughboy', Eddie Albert gueststars as an old shell shocked veteran of World War I. He actually goes through the woods in a World War I doughboy uniform and has a 1903 Springfield Rifle with a two foot bayonette. He captures Sgt Saunders thinking he's a German! 'The Bridge' gueststars one of my all time favorite actors, Lee Marvin. Lee plays Sgt Turk, a demolition engineer who's mission is to blow up a bridge. Sgt Turk and Sgt Saunders do not get along at all, but in the final minute fo the episode, you see how both men have grave respect for each other. Combat was an awesome show and now that I know it is out on DVD, I am looking forward to buying many more sets.
