Buy This Item Coach - The Second Season by Universal Studios  Available from Amazon  $15.99  on 8-10-2008     It's time to get back into the game with Season Two of Coach! Team up again with Craig T. Nelson in his Primetime Emmy Award-winning role as Hayden Fox, the curmudgeonly coach of Minnesota State University's Screaming Eagles football team. Available on DVD for the first time, this 2-disc set includes all 20 uproarious episodes following Fox as he tries to navigate his way through the sports world, fatherhood and family life without dropping the ball. Joining the lineup are Primetime Emmy Award nominees Shelley Fabares as his wife, Christine Armstrong Fox, and Jerry Van Dyke as Assistant Coach Luther Van Dam. You'll cheer for Season Two of Coach, the winning touchdown in any DVD library! Reader Reviews 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.
