Product Description

Product description

Follows a platoon in the field during the Vietnam war.
Genre: Television
Rating: NR
Release Date: 8-JUN-2004
Media Type: DVD

Amazon.com

The first television series to depict the American soldier in combat during the Vietnam War, producer Zev Braun's Emmy-nominated Tour of Duty earned critical acclaim during its three-season run. Judging by the number of Internet sites devoted to the program, it also remains a fan favorite more than a decade after its 1989 cancellation; said fans should be pleased with this five-disc set, which compiles the entire 1987 debut season in a slightly altered format. What's untouched on this set is the drama and tension endured by the men of Company B, a racially and socially diverse platoon led by Sgt. Zeke Anderson (Terence Knox), as they serve their twelve-month tour in 1967. The 21 episodes of the first season (largely helmed by veteran TV writer-director Bill W.L. Norton) take the platoon from their formation at Firebase Ladybird ("Pilot") to the brutal battle to take Hill 1000 ("The Hill") that concludes the season on a downbeat note. What's missing, as longtime fans will immediately note, is the theme song (the Rolling Stones' "Paint It Black") and much of the vintage rock music that played throughout the series. They've been replaced by generic (if effective) library tracks, which may lessen the impact of certain favorite scenes for viewers familiar with the broadcast versions. Also, no other extras are available on the disc, which is a slight disappointment, but for fans, simply having the entire first season might be satisfying enough. --Paul Gaita

Buy European Instead.
Don't buy the American release of this show. They took all the original music and replaced it all with generic music that just does not do the show any justice.Instead, buy the European release from Amazon Europe and get a cheap DVD player and set it for region two or get a good DVD burner program for your PC and burn them to your hard drive so the region code does not matter when you put them on a thumb drive and watch it that way. All the original music is in the European release as well as the opening "Paint it Black" by the rolling stones. It's the only way to really watch this fantastic show. It cost me around $70 to get the complete show and ship it to my home in the United States. Stay away from the American release.
