Product Description
Based on the real-life experiences of Lt. Col. Gregory "Pappy" Boyington BAA BAA BLACK SHEEP was one of the earliest television series created by celebrated producer Stephen J. Cannell (THE A-TEAM). The series centers on Boyington and his team of fighter pilots stationed on a Pacific island during the Second World War. Boyington not only sends his group of pilots on assorted missions but must also keep order in the ragtag group while they remain on the base. Volume two features the second half of the series' action-packed first season.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: TELEVISION/SERIES & SEQUELS Rating: NR UPC: 025193304025 Manufacturer No: 61033040

Baa Baa Black Sheep Volume 2 - This is the second half of season one.
Robert Conrad and company portray the fighter pilots of VMF214 stationed in the Solomon Islands during WWII. The action packed adventures included plenty of Corsair on Zero aerial action, both simulated and archive footage of the real thing.
Later seasons were renamed The Black Sheep Squadron.
This edition does include English SDH subtitles.
Special features are absent, not even a voice over.
The transfer quality is excellent with an aspect ratio of Full Frame 1.33 to 1.
The audio is English only in Dolby digital 2.0 Mono.
The box set includes 3 discs.
Disc 1
Love and War
The War Biz Warrior
Deadliest Enemy of All Part 1 & 2
Devil in the Slot
Disk 2
Five the Hard Way
Last Mission Over Sengai
Trouble at Fort Apache
Poor Little Lambs
W.A.S.P.S
Disc 3
Last One for Hutch
The Fastest Gun
The series is loosely based on the actual exploits of the late Col.Greg "Pappy" Boyington, credited with 28 "kills" during the war and winner of the Congressional Medal of Honor (CMH). A true American hero.
All in all, a fun testosterone romp.
Perhaps Universal will release Season 2 in one complete package next go around. And a voice over by one of the actors or producers would be a welcome edition.

One of the proudest claims I can make about my life is being a former Marine, like Maj. Gregory "Gramps" Boyington; albiet an unknown to one of the most famous. (John "The Duke" Wayne wanted to be a Marine & didn't make it!) The only thing that gives me more pride is knowing these heroes respected guys like my sainted Dad, an Army Air Corps pilot, who flew gas & trash over "the Hump" in C-46's & C-47's (the gray cargo plane in the series) from India into China over the Himalayas in support of their combat against the Japs.
I was at NAS Lakehurst in 1978 when this great show aired on commercial T.V. and, even though most of us knew the show was highly 'Hollywoodized', we would still take over the barracks rec room everytime it aired, and would yell & cheer like Limey football fans thru every combat scene in each episode.
With all the second- and third-rate crapola flooding the DVD-TV market these days, it's GREAT to see DVD's of a show worth the expense hit the shelves, and I really hope the entire series will be issued sooner or later (PREFERREDLY SOONER!!!!!!)

..now lets have Season 2 so we can finely watch the whole series! I couldn't hardly wait to get this DVD open when it came today. I've always enjoyed this show and will hopefully get the final season SOON. Come on guys. You must have the rest all ready to make on DVD! :) I have the books too, but the show is great. Follows the real Pappy loosely, but hey, it's still fun to watch. The plot keeps moving and the action seans are well done. When firing the maching guns in the plane however, the real thing doesn't vibrate like on the screen. I think it just adds to the action. Keep the good TV shows like this one comming you guys. THANKS

Great show when I was growing up and still fun to watch today. I just wish like many other folks do...... stop deflating our wallets to get this great show. And why do you release the dvds so far apart?

Along with other fans of this show, I'm glad that finally after a 2 year wait Vol. 2 was released on DVD.
I bought this title a few weeks ago and must say that even though I'm very happy to have this show on DVD I'm also a bit disappointed in this DVD release out of the following reasons:
No digital restoration of the picture (but I can live with that)
What bugs me the most is that 5 episodes were crammed on each of disc 1 and disc 2 but disc 3 only holds two episodes. I think they should have divided it evenly up into 4 episodes per disc that way the studio doesn't have to compress the episodes so much and have a better picture quality. This might be a point that should be taken under consideration if Universal plans to release Vol. 3 of this show on DVD.
No specials on the dvd set.
The show itself receives 5 stars, but the DVD release only 3 stars because of the reasons mentioned above.
