Benson: Season 2

I love this show and wish they would have released all the seasons on DVD. Benson vs Krauss. Benson vs Clayton. The Governors stories! Its all funny. The picture is sharp and looks great for being from 1980.

Still funny 40+ years later and even better than season 1.

This show is really great, funny, and underrated! Possibly my favorite show. I don't think it gets the respect it deserves. Sony who owns the rights just does not care about their customers. Release the rest of the series Sony!! Better yet, release the rights to someone like Shout!Factory who will do it justice and do it right!! As for this 2nd season release, all the full episodes are here, with full intros, plus the first 2 episodes of the 3rd season. The last few episodes from the 2nd season on the 3rd disc are out of order, but that didn't bother me. The really cheap case it came in bothered me though. I ordered 2 copies from amazon themselves and both cases broke easily. I finally took a chance and ordered from importcds and I got a perfect set!! Same amaray case but much sturdier for some reason. Discs were perfect and played with no problem in my LG blu ray dvd player. I got my inexpensive dvd player about a year and a half ago so for the people saying it doesn't play, they must have dvd players that are older than that. I have an older one and it doesn't play in that one. Overall a really good set! Please release the rest of this series!! I like the show Alice but if the 3rd season comes out before this series 3rd season, I'm gonna be pissed!!! Benson fans unite and let's start a petition to get this show released further!!!

I seen this show when it first aired but I'd forgotten how funny it was. I always loved SOAP with Benson and his special brand of humor, and buying this and the first season together let me rediscover how good it was and how much I missed it. Some things are predictable but, hey, that's part of the fun. It's old fashioned feel good, clean family oriented fun at it's best. How can you not like that? You should give it a try. It's as timeless on some aspects today as it was then, and the rest is just pure fun to see and hear. Fire

Benson season 2 brings a change to the cast, in Comes Rene Auberjonois as Clayton Endicott III the Governors aid and Ethan Phillips as Pete Downey his press secretary, all the cast get their moments in the sun and even after all this time the show is still wildly entertaining.The episodes are crisp and clear, though i'd take 1 star off for the presentation of the 3 disc set, the First Season had the full color Benson logo from the Disc cover on the DVD's and a nicely done menu on the discs, Season 2 has only the Title on the DVD's and what looks like a made from home DVD makers menu, listing only the Episodes names.In my opinion the series deserved better from the producers of the 2nd season, and i hope they learn for the 3rd-9th seasons, which i heartily look forward to.I should not need to point out, but i will, that both Rene and Ethan both went on the great things as Odo in Star Trek DS9 and Nelix in Star Trek Voyager, 2 very fine actors to make those roles their own.I hope that the following seasons come quickly.Next Season Didi Conn, who was in Grease, comes in as Bensons secretart Denise, replacing Caroline McWilliams (Marcy Hill) Benson - Season 2

Ok, so there is no episode listing on the DVD packaging, there are no fancy decorations on the discs, and there are no behind-the-scenes footage or bloopers, but you know what? Every uncut Season 2 episode is there, and that's what I care most about. Given that the progression of this show on DVD was on life support a short time ago, I am grateful to Sony for finding a way to keep it moving and get it into the hands of the fans who have been waiting so long. Manufacture on Demand? Go ahead and release the remainder of the seasons the same way if you must, just release them.I will add that I found it interesting that they threw in the first two episodes of Season 3. I just hope that doesn't mess up the flow of future releases in any way, and I really hope it doesn't mean this is as good as it gets. Also, the episodes were out of order on Disc 3, but I was just glad to see they were all there.Thanks, Sony, and keep them coming because I personally feel that this great show really starts taking off in Season 3.

In the 1970's Susan Harris broke the mold with "Soap" and then "Benson." Robert Guillaime's now a trail blazer doing more than Cosby at just a whisper. One must remember this is 37 years old and let the jaw drop at the brilliantly blazed trails. Harris went on to do "The Golden Girls." Season Two of "Benson" hit it's stride with minor cast changes that plugged the leaks and clever, hysterical scripts that sound dated now from the middle of the civil rights movement and in the wake of Watergate. Benson's the residence manager for the Governor of an unnamed State who appears stupid at first, but is just that honest and kind. His inability to recognize sarcasm is a constant source of humor to Benson's endless (sometimes unnessecary) sarcasm. Harris would later take this trait all the way with Rose Nylund.

This series never gets old. The comedy is as fresh as ever. It's one of my all-time favorite feel-good sitcoms. A genuine classic, Benson was exceptionally well produced, starring the incomparable Robert Guillaume, alongside an amazing cast, this show featured great writing and plenty of heart. Season 2 was as good as or maybe even better than the first season.Jennifer K. LaffertyAuthor of Rosewater and Satire: The Stories of Jennifer Lafferty
