Wiseguy: Complete First Season (1987) Rating: Starring: Annette Bening, Jonathan Banks, Ray Sharkey, Ken Wahl Director: Category: Television Studio: Mill Creek Entertainment Subtitles: Length: 88 mins     Mill Creek Entertainment is proud to release for the first time, the complete first season of Wiseguy, the acclaimed television series from writer/producer Stephen J. Cannell and starring Ken Wahl. Twenty-two episodes of the first season from this ground-breaking program are all together in one DVD set. This Emmy and Golden Globe nominated series revolutionized the story arc format of presenting the story lines. This first season featured such guest stars as Kevin Spacey, Ray Sharkey and Joan Severance. Long before Donnie Brasco brought similar drama to the big screen, 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. As conceived by co-creators Stephen J. Cannell (of The Rockford Files and The A-Team fame) and Ken Lupo, Wiseguy followed an innovative "story-arc" structure, allowing Vinnie's deep-cover missions to last only as long as necessary to bring each case to a sensible conclusion. Since copied by countless TV shows, this unique approach to storytelling attracted a devoted following of viewers addicted to the self-contained plots that forced Vinnie, his sourpuss OCB handler Frank McPike (Jonathan Banks) and disabled covert liaison Dan "Lifeguard" Burroughs (played by double-amputee Jim Byrnes) to achieve their objectives.
