Wiseguy - Full Profitt info...plus info about future sets

OCB Agent Vincent Terranova (Ken Wahl) is assigned to investigate assassin Roger Lococco (William Russ). What neither Vinnie or his superiors suspect is that Lococco is working for international arms and drug dealer Mel Profitt (Kevin Spacey). More importantly, Lococco is carrying out a covert and highly illegal assignment for an errant branch of the CIA to overthrow a third world nation. As the Profitt Arc unfolds, Vinnie finds himself drawn even deeper into a complex and bizarre world beyond anything he has ever experienced. At the same time, he is fighting his growing feelings for Mel's beautiful sister, Susan (Joan Severance), and finds himself in the midst of a deadly triangle between himself, Susan and Mel. Now Vinnie is fighting for his life at the hands of Mel Profitt as well as the American government when he threatens Lococco's secret mission.

This 4 DVD set contains 12 episodes (11 episodes in the Profitt Arc and 1 stand-alone episode. The set features commentary on "Player to be Named Now" by Ken Wahl as well as interviews with Stephen J. Cannell, David Burke, Kevin Spacey, Joan Severance, William Russ and Elsa Raven. This set is sporting improved audio (I guess people felt the same way as I did about the 5.1 mix on the first set) and a lower price of $59.99. If you haven't picked up the Sonny Steelgrave set, the price of that has also been reduced to $59.99. The set will be hitting the street on December 30th, just in time to ring in the new year.
