Happy Belated Birthday, Mike. 83 years strong.

Amazon.com has Mannix season one on sale for $25.99, so I *finally* ordered my copy!

[Brian Flagg]

Got Mannix DVDs yesterday and so far have only watched the pilot and "Skid Marks On a Dry Run." I like the artsy direction, the MidMod buildings, Mike Connors (and his checked sportscoats) and the scores. I can tell that the show is lagging with the Intertect angle and I look forward to future seasons when Joe is on his own and has Peggy Fair as his secretary.

BTW, that Ernie Anderson-narrated Mannix syndication pitch is worth the price of this set alone!!!

You're a regular in this thread and it took you THIS LONG to get the dvd release? Your Intertect membership privileges have been revoked!

Indeed. Lew Wickersham would be most unhappy.

I had "budgetary reasons" for waiting until the set went down to $25.99...Besides, Mannix himself left Intertect!!!

I've been out of work since February and I managed to get it-DeepDiscount had their 20% sale going when Mannix came out so I was able to capitalize on that-stretch my meager unemployment insurance earnings farther.

I paid $0.99 for mine, minus the $25.00 Amazon Gift Card I got for my birthday. Plus, Mannix was on sale for $25.99, so it helped that I waited.

Ok-you win. Membership privileges re-instated.

And for that, I give you season two news:

Welcome news indeed!

This is great news.

Note: while there is no transition episode (e.g. actually seeing Mannix quit Intertect), one episode in season 2 does have a brief scene at Intertect. Peggy calls in a favor with somone she knows there. The guy says something like, "If Wickersham knew what I was doing, he'd fire me" or something like that.

[Brian Flagg]

Check out Linda Marsh's "old" nose in her S1 Mannix appearance, "The Many Deaths of Saint Christopher" compared to her "digitally remastered" schnozzola in S2 of Five-O, "Sweet Terror." Quite a difference!

Early second season box art.

Amazon.com has S2 of Mannix for pre-sale.

[TheSaint]

Here's the revised box art.

[Brian Flagg]

I like the new box art. It's ridiculous to not inlcude Peggy Fair on the cover!

In Australia Foxtel has started showing the series on Fox Classics on Tuesdays at 2PM.

AND....they are showing the series from the 1st season, which, in a way, is a pity for me, because I only found out about it today and the show started last week. Having never seeing the first season (I think) that means I've missed out watching the very first ep.

Oh well, at least I can tape the rest.

[TheSaint]

You could always purchase the first season on dvd, or is it not available in Australia?

Have not seen Mannix anywhere in the shops here, and I'm not really prepared to invest buying just the Season 1 box set because I'm not really interested in collecting the entire series.

Why, why, why, why, why???

Mannix - The 2nd Season DVD Set's Rear Cover Art is Here!
Music changes are indicated in the specs for this early January release
Posted by David Lambert (11/18/2008)



Mannix - The 2nd Season is on the way to DVD, set to be available starting on January 6th. CBS/Paramount has now provided the rear package art for this set, and we've got it for you below. It's worth noting, however, that the specs area near the bottom of the rear artwork has the disclaimer that "Music has been changed for this home entertainment version". That's a disclaimer which was NOT present on the first season set...a situation that may be all-too-familiar to people who bought the second season sets of CBS/Paramount releases The Fugitive or My Three Sons! Would the music changes be as drastic as it was on those two titles (i.e., wholesale removal of the underscore)? We don't know at this point in time, though, and we certainly join fans in hoping that this isn't the case!

I clicked to that URL. It has been updated. According to the updated version, the webmasters have contacted CBS/Paramount and the second-season Mannix set includes all the original scores. Good thing, too -- the first episode of season 2 includes a Lalo Schifrin score, his first since the Mannix pilot.

[TheSaint]

Mannix dodged a big bullet that time, especially after the music replacement foolishness of CBS/P releases The Fugitive S2 vol.1 and My Three Sons S1 vol.1, and the cutting of songs from The Odd Couple S2-S5.

I just finished watching "A Copy of Murder" and wondered how many times has Clifton James played a sheriff? This predates his J.W.Pepper in LALD & TMWTGG and the unnamed sheriff he plays in Superman II.

[TheSaint]

I'm watching "Death in A Minor Key" guest starring future Bond villains Yaphet Kotto and Anthony Zerbe.

Mannix: The Third Season due out October 27! I still need to pick up season two!

[Napoleon Solo]

Season 3 has my favorite episode, when Mannix goes back to his hometown and has to deal with his disapproving father (Victor Jory). It's also the season when they integrate the piano into the main title theme.

Happy Birthday to Mike Connors, who turns 84 today. With any luck, my season two DVDs will arrive in the mail in honor of the occasion.

[Brian Flagg]

Joe Mannix kicked in my mailbox the other day. Cleaned out my rat hole of an office and picked up my last check from Intertect. Let the beatings begin.

"The Silent Cry" is a fine start to the "relaunched" Mannix. Good performances all around. And Audree Norton--"Jody"-- was pretty! She was excellent in this.

Lalo delivered an energetic score--fantastic!

BTW, 17 Paseo Verde has the same architecture as a McDonald's location I remember from the 1970s, long-since gone...

Season two is looking like a big improvement over the Intertect phase.
