Thanks for the info. I once spent a whole sunday and pretty much got what you have except for Tom Amandes site, which has some great information on the show. Unfortunetely, it seems that Paramount won't release The Untouchables any time soon, probably not for a few years unless there is a bigger demand for a DVD release.

[–] Jabberdau 20 years ago

I sent an email to Tom Amandes and believe it or not, but I got a response signed by the man himself. However I will not put it up here since I suppose emails should be private unless mentioned to the reciever. BUT he confirmed that there hadnt been a VHS or DVD release and his advice was to write to paramounts adress as listed on their webpage and ask for a release. This adress:

Paramount Studios
5555 Melrose Avenue
Hollywood, CA 90038

323.956.5000

I find it a little odd that they dosn´t have and email adress, but I´ll send a letter anyway even though I am not a US citizen.

what did he say in the note ?

The list here has 42 episodes. That tallies with my own information. I taped the entire series when it was first-run, and there were 42 episodes, ending with the 2-parter where Al Capone got convicted for income tax evasion.

That last episaode was liek a "Twilight of the Gods" thing-- unlike the Robert Stackor (shudder) Kevin Costner versions, in this one, after so many episodes, they went ALL-OUT to have one collosal epic violent "blast". Even so, the final scenes seemed a big let-down to me, it somehow didn't "feel" like ti was "the end".

Now I look at the IMDB, and they have 44 episodes listed-- 2 of them AFTER the "last" one. WTF??? There's no information for most of the episodes of this show listed here at the IMDB, and these last 2 don't even have air dates. Again-- WTF???

Is somebody B***S***ing here, or were there 2 "final" episodes-- which NEVER got run??? It's a sad thing when Hollywood keeps screwing up the ENDINGS of too many shows. Half the time, it seems, you don't even know when a show's finale airs. Instead of going out on a high note, they somehow just fade away...

My own personal disappointment with the way the 42nd episode ended was, NO mention of Ness' wife. I mean-- is that it? After intending it to be just a separation, out of nowhere she sends him divorce papers, and you never hear about her again. He just left it like that? Didn't he even TRY to change her mind? What kind of a hero is that? (I wouldn't have ended this series like that.)

Then again, if there are 2 "final" episodes I've NEVER SEEN... I wonder what's in them?
