"Wiseguy" The Collector's Edition DVD March 9th - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Long before Donnie Brasco brought similar drama to the big screen, Golden Globe winner Ken Wahl brought charisma, credibility and chutzpah to his small-screen role as Vincent Terranova, a handsome 30-year-old agent with the FBI's Organized Crime Bureau.

The special Collector's Edition presents 67 episodes that span the series' highly successful 4 season run on 13 DVDs! Also included are 3 unaired, never before seen episodes from the show's final season.

How does a deep-cover operative keep his sanity and morality intact when the criminal lifestyle he's sworn to bring down from within is more compelling than his own? Federal Agent Vincent Terranova (Ken Wahl) is plagued by the question in this innovative take on 80s cop dramas.

Created by veteran hit producer Stephen J. Cannell, "Wiseguy" veers from traditional 'bad guy of the week' police procedural by breaking the drama into multi-episode story arcs that followed an Organized Crimes Bureau case - and its charismatic criminal suspects - to its logical conclusion. No matter the cost to criminal, victim, or cop.

* Due to music rights issues this edition does not include the "Dead Dog Records" arc.

Whatever happened to Ken Wahl, anyway? Last I heard, he pulled a knife on a bartender in some club, but that was years ago - I think the mid-90s.
