| Solid season of Coach |
This second season of Coach is a real delight. What keeps it from scoring the bulls eye is a little level of inconsistency as some eps here prove to be a little more slapstick than Coach is normally used to. While Mr. Nelson is always a powerful presence and certainly a capable comic performer, he doesn't fare all that well in episodes like "A Jerk in the Opera" and "Poodle Springs" (ironically the last two episodes) as the show normally has a more grown up approach.
As said, Nelson is terrific as Coach Hayden Fox but Jerry Van Dyke and Bill Fagerbakke are also excellent as his two assistants and their presence certainly gives added weight to the undeniably dramatic overtone of Hayden and Christine's relationship (which would sail into even more dramatic territory as the seasons went on). However, I could have seen a bit less of Stuart and Kelly who actually start to become a little too annoying. The one-note joke of Stuart and Coach's relationship can only work so often.
Anyway, there are top notch moments scattered about in this second season of a first rate sitcom. And the season's would only get better from here on. |

| Outstanding sitcom, surprisingly good release! |
I was wary of the quality of these discs, due to some of the negative reviews here and the fact that ten entire episodes are crammed onto each one of the two discs. After watching through the entire second season, I was extremely pleased with this set. The picture quality is simply excellent! I'm honestly not certain what the detractors here expected, but I can assure you the picture looks great for a nearly eighteen year old program.
There are only a couple of tiny problems. For instance, I noticed on the episode "I'm In The Mood For Luther" the audio cuts out at the beginning and end of the episode. Not a word of dialog is removed, just a bit of the intro music is deleted for some inexplicable reason.
Overall, I couldn't be happier with this set, especially since it can be had for under twenty dollars. This leaves me wishing other sitcoms, such as Frasier or Seinfeld, had budget sets like this - rather than spreading the episodes out needlessly on four or five discs - then charging us upwards of $40 to purchase it. |

| Shoddy DVD's |
I love this show and this second season is no different than the first except... the second season has very poor video. I feel like I'm watching old VHS tapes. Watching these is like looking at your computer screen with the refresh rate set too low, it seems to flicker and is EXTREMELY annoying!! |

Coach - The Second Season!
Wow! This series is truly one of the finest comedies of all time. Craig T. Nelson leads a terrific ensemble that is first rate. They easily take nearly true-to-life situations and turn them into the mirror we call our reality.
To the credit of the production team, I almost believe I am back in Minnesota. Crisp, tight and hilarious, Coach draws us into people we've either known (or wish we had) all of our lives.
Coach reminds us laughter wins!
