Mister Peepers Season 2

Mister Peepers #2: A Priceless Gem !
After waiting three long years for more MISTER PEEPERS, our wishes are granted! This set is superior to the first set, not only in quality reproduction of the original kinescopes held in UCLA's archive, but in the entertainment value of each script. If you're a fan of THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW, then you'll love this collection of 26 episodes written by Jim Fritzell and Everett Greenbaum, whose expertise made GRIFFITH a 1960s hit. While gentler and simpler than the Griffith show, MISTER PEEPERS blossomed under the care of this great writing team. The accent is on character development, not slapstick, as with most early TV sitcoms.

The acting is topnotch, and each segment is filled with priceless interactions between the characters. Wally Cox is sublime as Robinson Peepers, meek and mild science teacher. Tony Randall is convincingly blustery as know-it-all Harvey Weskit, the history teacher. Pat Benoit is the most natural of anyone in the cast, very calm, quiet, sincere...

Simply irresistible!
The long wait after the release of Season 1 was agonizing and punctuated with prayer for the release of Season 2, but it was worth it when I received the Season 2 boxed set. This set is even superior to Season 1, both in cinematic quality and in plot development and humor. I have watched all but the final two episodes on the set, and I am utterly delighted. Everything that made the first set wonderful is still here--the adorable Mrs. Gurney (Marion Lorne), Wally Cox's hilariously understated comedic talent as Robinson J. Peepers, Nancy Remington's growing affection for Robinson Peepers, and Tony Randall's over-the-top portrayal of Harvey Weskit. This season adds new settings and characters, a raft of new predicaments, and perfected interaction of the cast members with each other, as they become a finely tuned team. The bonus material is good too, particularly the interview with the late Tony Randall. Every episode includes the original commercials for Reynolds aluminum, too--an...

season 2 of mr. peepers
Can not believe that season 2 finally arrived, it is one of the best early 50's TV shows I have seen, I am already looking forward for season 3. Wally Cox is excellent in this role as a High School science teacher, a role made for him only. I encourage anyone who loves the simplicity of the early 50's and their brand of humor to immediately purchase this DVD, almost 800 minutes of total fun. The supporting cast was also very good, especially Tony Randall and Marion Lorne. Buy now and have fun. If any of you love going back to the 50s and relieve our childhood and youth, this is the perfect DVD for you, the simple and fun times and the fun and not so fun days at High School. The stories are short and simple but very fun and it depicts the teachers back then very well. This is a must for everyone, buy it and have hours of fun with it on a rainy day, or any day.
