It seems like it's been much, much longer. But it's only been a year-and-a-half since
Universal announced the first season of
Airwolf on DVD. Since that May, 2005 release the studio has been very, very quiet about a follow-up, and most fans were convinced it would never come.
Universal has proved that idea to be wrong this morning, announcing a
December 26th, 2006 street date for
Airwolf - Season 2! The 5-DVD set (all of them single-sided) comes in a "digipak"-style (fold-out cardboard) box. These 22 episodes will run 17 hours 42 minutes and cost $39.95 SRP. Video is 1.33:1 full frame, audio is English mono, and there are also English subtitles present.
The Don Bellisario-created show in its second season continues to star Jan-Michael Vincent and Ernest Borgnine, and guest stars include David Graf ("Tackleberry" of
Police Academy), Lance LeGault ("Decker" of
The A-Team), Anthony Tyler Quinn ("Jonathan Turner" of
Boy Meets World), Robin Riker ("Kelly" on
Brothers), Deborah Pratt ("Ziggy" on
Quantum Leap), Jason Bernard ("Caleb Taylor" on
V &
V: The Final Battle), P.J. Soles (
Halloween, Stripes, Rock 'n' Roll High School), Sam Melville ("Danko" of
The Rookies), Randi Brooks (
Tightrope, The Man With Two Brains), Jared Martin ("Dusty Farlow" of
Dallas), Noble Willingham (
Chinatown, Brubaker, City Slickers), Misty Rowe (
Goodbye Norma Jean, Meatballs Part II), Arte Johnson ("Very interesting" person on
Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In), Martin Milner ("Pete Malloy" on
Adam-12), Angela Cartwright ("Penny Robinson" on
Lost In Space), and John Aniston ("Victor Kiriakis" of
Days of our Lives, and yes he is Jennifer Aniston's father).
