The acclaimed Warner Brothers Vietnam War television series China Beach was released in a complete series set by StarVista/Time-Life earlier this year. While devoted fans of the series had mostly nothing but praise for the set, the hefty price tag caused potential purchasers who were not sure about the show to take pause and wait for single-season releases. StarVista/Time-Life has responded by releasing China Beach Season 1 at an attractive price point. This set contains the feature-length pilot and the six hour-long episodes which were aired during the show's short first season in 1988. It also contains some attractive extras which are discussed below.
