The mystery is solved! Intelligent family programs DO still exist and all clues lead to this excellent DVD set…
There are many DVD sets in my collection and not one of them was as anticipated as this one. I’m pleased to say that Season Two of The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries does not disappoint.To put Season Two in perspective I must first say a few words about Season One. Released on DVD in March 2005, the first season episodes beautifully capture the essence of The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew novels that have been a staple in children’s literature since the 1920’s. Frank, Joe, and Nancy helped solve mysteries around their hometowns, often assisting their fathers on important cases. In Season One the guys and Nancy are just getting started with their crime solving, sometimes making mistakes here and there. This could be debated but Nancy made far fewer mistakes than the boys ever did! In both seasons Nancy is a young woman who mostly works alone and gets the job done right the first time. Pamela Sue Martin’s portrayal of Nancy was perfect. No one else could ever BE Nancy, then or now.Nearing the end of Season One a phenomenon helped to transform this great children’s series into “must-see-TV” for teens and pre-teens everywhere: The Brothers Hardy – wonderfully portrayed by Parker Stevenson and super singer Shaun Cassidy – became teen idols. And so began Season Two…Though it has been done in print many times since, the first episode on this Season Two set has the characters of Frank, Joe, and Nancy meeting for the first time ever. The brothers are hardly ever home this season, though they do still assist their dad on occasion. The second season takes the guys to exotic lands and the danger quotient is slightly increased over the previous year. If you’re a fan of The Hardy Boys Casefiles (novels written in the late ’80’s) this season is for you!Many guest stars lend their talents to this season too, including Lorne Green, Valerie Bertinelli, Edd Byrnes (77 Sunset Strip), Troy Donahue, Fabian, Tommy Sands, Deborah Walley (Gidget), Melanie Griffith, Ray Milland (veteran actor from the 1920’s through the 1980’s), Linda Dano (One Life to Live), Rick Springfield (General Hospital), Jaclyn Smith (Charlie’s Angels), Robert Wagner (Hart to Hart), Casey Kasem (radio personality), Dennis Weaver (McCloud), and many more.I’m proud to say I’ve been a fan of this series for 30 years, though I didn’t watch it regularly until the end of season two. My memories of watching “The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries” take me back to edited reruns on snowy, low-powered UHF TV channels during the television days B.C. (Before Cable). Needless to say, this set is a joy to watch; the episodes are complete and beautifully restored. They are presented on five neatly packaged single-sided discs. New generations will watch this and get acquainted with three super sleuths who value friendship, perseverance, independence, respect, hard work, brotherly love, and so much more that’s missing from today’s television landscape. Three decades have passed but parents and children can still enjoy this show together. That is the sign of a true classic.Finally, I must salute the cast – Shaun, Parker, Pamela, Janet Louise Johnson as Nancy Drew, Edmund Gilbert (the ONLY Fenton Hardy and the perfect Hardy dad!), and William Schallert as Mr. Drew. Without you this series would not be the classic that it is. The evidence – this DVD set – proves it!

Surprisingly Good…but Nancy Drew out…
The second season dvd set of THE HARDY BOYS/NANCY DREW MYSTERIES started off with a bang! “The Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew Meet Dracula 1 & 2” began season two with Parker Stevenson, Shaun Cassidy, and Pamela Sue Martin joining forces to solve a mystery in Dracula’s castle. The trio also got together in Hollywood for another two-parter during this season called “The Mystery Of The Hollywood Phantom.” Again, the story lines are exciting with plot twists and fun filled adventures, but something becomes noticeably different in season two.It seems that Nancy Drew (Pamela Sue Martin) was being relegated to a supporting character to the Hardy Boys. The shows were now focusing more on Frank and Joe Hardy, and Nancy Drew would be a guest star. Even the number of Nancy Drew episodes dropped from an equal number in the first season (7-to-7), to only three shows(not guest starring with Hardy Boys) in this season.Maybe the reason for this change was because of Shaun Cassidy’s (Joe Hardy) huge popularity as a pop singer during that time, but something made the show’s creators focus on the Hardy Boys. Even the regular characters on “Nancy Drew,” namely “George” and “Ned,” were replaced with other actors in season two. I’m not sure if the “Ned” character played by Rick Springfield in the episode “Will The Real Santa Claus…” was supposed to be the “Ned” character from season one, but the “George” character was definitely the same, but played by a different actress.Anyway, the changes aren’t too jarring until you get half way through the season when Pamela Sue Martin steps out as Nancy Drew and is replaced by Janet Louise Johnson(?) in another Nancy Drew guest-star/two-parter called “Voodoo Doll.” And even though Johnson(?) isn’t bad as ND, Martin was perfect. I don’t know why this happened, but whatever the reason it was a little unsettling. It would be like Lynda Carter being replaced as Diana Prince/Wonder Woman half-way through the season of “Wonder Woman.”Although I didn’t like this change in casting, I gave this set 5-stars because the shows were pretty good…even if they were mostly “Hardy Boys” episodes. The episode called “Arson and Old Lace,” the second to the last on this season, was a little corny where Nancy Drew gets kidnapped by this old man and held for six months. There’s this scene where Frank and Nancy are climbing up an elevator shaft; they reach the top of it and all of a sudden they’re outside on the roof. So suspension of disbelief was really being stretched there.But I’m glad I bought this set. The picture and sound quality are good and this time the episodes are on five single-sided dvds. There’s also a bonus feature called “America’s Top Sleuths” that says it’s the Sleuth Channel’s countdown of top sleuths on tv and film. Another thing I enjoyed on this set, that was also on season one, was the voice over at the beginning of each show saying, “Tonight on the Hardy boys/Nancy Drew…” and the episode title.

Follow the clues to fantastic music and adventures with TV’s most famous teenage detectives!I’m VERY excited that we’re finally going to see another season make it to DVD.However, I do have a minor complaint:Season TWO consists of “22 episodes” and three are “two-part” episodes (making the real “whole episode” count “19”). Here is a list of the “season two” episodes:The Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew Meet Dracula (Part 1) – 09/11/77The Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew Meet Dracula (Part 2) – 09/18/77The Mystery of King Tut’s Tomb 09/25/77The Mystery of the Hollywood Phantom (Part 1) – 10/02/77The Mystery of the Hollywood Phantom (Part 2) – 10/09/77The Mystery of the African Safari – 10/16/77The Creatures Who Came From Sunday – 10/30/77The Strange Fate of Flight 608 – 11/06/77Acapulco Spies – 11/13/77Nancy Drew’s Love Match – 01/20/77The Silent Scream – 11/27/77Will the Real Santa Claus..? – 12/18/77The Lady on Thursday at Ten – 01/01/78Oh Say Can You Sing – 01/08/78The House on Possessed Hill – 02/22/78Sole Survivor – 01/29/78Voodoo Doll (Part 1) – 02/12/78Voodoo Doll (Part 2) – 02/19/78Mystery Of The Avalanche Express – 12/26/78Death Surf – 03/12/78Arson and Old Lace – 03/31/78The Campus Terror – 05/06/78″Season Three” consists of only “10 episodes” and two are “two parts” (which basically makes it an “8 episode” season). I think that it would have made more sense to release a “season two AND season three” combo box set. I realize that it would have added to the cost, but then we may end up having to wait a couple more years for the final “10” (“8”) episodes. Let’s hope not!!This series is standard “Glen Larson” material and GREAT nostalgia entertainment! The chemistry of the cast helps to drive the series and make it a light hearted, fun, and quite enjoyable viewing experience!

Es una serie que me gustaba mucho cuando era niña, ya tenÃa la 1a temporada asà que compré la 2a. Pero la actriz que ponen en la caja en realidad sale muy poco y para colmo la cambian por otra en los últimos capÃtulos!! No recordaba este detalle y me decepcionó un poco. Tiene subtÃtulos en inglés lo cual me gusta mucho.

The DVD set arrived on time. It was in great condition. I loved watching it as it brought back childhood memories. No other actress can portray Nancy Drew as well as Pamela Sue Martin, despite her short stint in the series.

If you’re looking for more mystery and suspense then season two of “The Hardy Boys / Nancy Drew Mysteries” may be for you! Season two of this classic 70’s television series finds the three unlikely sleuths in fine form and up to the challenges that await them. Shaun Cassidy, Parker Stevenson and Pamela Sue Martin have returned for 22 more mysterious and thrilling adventures in season two and fans of this show won’t be disappointed.Season two contains a number of solid episodes but it’s the two cross-over episodes entitled The Hardy Boys & Nancy Drew Meet Dracula / The Mystery of The Hollywood Phantom that really stand out in this season for me. Season two is also bitter sweet for fans of the show because it marks the end of Pamela Sue Martin as Nancy Drew as Janet Louise Johnson replaces her as Nancy midway through the second season. Once the change in Nancy’s character takes place and Janet Louise Johnson takes over it becomes evident that this show will never be the same and the end for Nancy Drew isn’t far behind.Season two is a mixed bag when it comes to the quality of plots the actors were given to work with but if its nostalgia you’re after then season two is definitely for you. The 70’s were the best when it came to family entertainment and I can’t think of any show on television today that families can sit and watch together. The 22 episodes included in this set are filled with mystery, suspense, adventure and pure fun for the whole family even if they’re a little dated.The quality of the picture and sound in season two is really decent and I’m glad I’ve added this DVD set to my collection. I don’t remember seeing or hearing this show look or sound as good as it does on DVD. Finally Universal Studios has done something right and presented season two on 5 single sided discs with nice artwork and detail. The disc packaging and artwork are well done and Universal Studios should be commended for their efforts, all we need now is the final season to complete the series.The Main Cast:Shaun Cassidy…..Joe Hardy (34 episodes)Parker Stevenson…..Frank Hardy (34 episodes)Pamela Sue Martin…..Nancy Drew (21 episodes)Janet Louise Johnson…..Nancy #2 (4 episodes)Edmund Gilbert….Fenton Hardy (21 episodes)William Schallert….Carson Drew (11 episodes)DVD Episodes Include:-The Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew Meet Dracula Part I-The Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew Meet Dracula Part II-The Mystery of King Tut’s Tomb-The Mystery of the Hollywood Phantom Part I-The Mystery of the Hollywood Phantom Part II-Mystery of the African Safari-The Creatures Who Came on Sunday-Strange Fate of Flight 608-Acapulco Spies-Nancy Drew’s Love Match-The Mystery of the Silent Scream-Will the Real Santa Claus…-The Lady on Thursday at Ten-Oh Say Can You Sing-The House on Possessed Hill-Sole Survivor-Voodoo Doll Part I-Voodoo Doll Part II-Mystery on the Avalanche Express-Death Surf-Arson and Old Lace-Campus Terror*Bonus Materials – America’s Top Sleuth
