Not a word, Gaje. S1 was awesome with 1st-rate transfers. Who knows, maybe S2's on the schedule and we won't know until an announcement.

Re: Flipper on DVD

*cries a little* :*(

I still have 7 episodes left. Im milking those for all they're worth.

At least I hope they will hand the remaining season off to another company. Making us all wait like this is maddening.

Re: Flipper on DVD

It's a real shame that this series is stalled/abandoned because my kids just fell in love with that 1st Season. This is the kind of stuff that makes TV on DVD collecting such a frustrating hobby.

Re: Flipper on DVD

Gary, that's cool because I fell in love with Flipper during the 60's and 70's when I watched the series on television in first run and rerun episodes.

Universal really really been releasing any of its older shows on DVD and it's just a crying shame. Flipper was an awesome show and I'm just sad that Universal has yet seen fit to release the rest of the series.

It isn't a Universal title. The first season was released by MGM (through Fox).

Re: Flipper on DVD

Oh dear it seems as if Flipper seasons 2 and 3 are still not going to materialise in the near future. Does anyone know what went wrong. Amazon.com seems to have lots of positive comments about the release. Ivan Tors Productions sadly are not very well represented on DVD. I would really like to see Daktari make an appearance. And also Cowboy in Africa.

Re: Flipper on DVD

Flipper really does not conform to todays politically correct enviroment. It's a Dad and his sons getting along together, men and boys being capable and competent, happy and with a purpose in life. This show was made before men were emasculated girlie-men, beta males, metro sexuals like they are today. If there were more women and romance in the show and the men were stupid and whipped and wore Crocs it would have been released by now.

Re: Flipper on DVD

Like everyone else, I 'd love to see more seasons of "Flipper," as season 1 was terrific. Just a "heads up" for anyone who lives near a Big Lots store. I recently picked up the theatrical release "Flipper's New Adventure" for just $3. This was the second theatrical "Flipper" movie, and the film that introduced Brian Kelly as "Porter Ricks." While Luke Halpin (Sandy) is in the film front and center, Tommy Norden (Bud) is nowhere to be seen until the television series. This film plays like an extended episode of the TV series, so it's an easy recommendation for fans of the series. Incidentally, Chuck Connors was Sandy's father in the original "Flipper" film and later was the star of Ivan Tors' "Cowboy in Africa."

Re: Flipper on DVD

Bob, those are great films. About 5 years ago those were my first reintroduction to the series (besides the handful of episodes I had on tape) in many many years. I remember I was chilling out on vacation and couldn't believe how much those brought about such a calm I hadn't felt in years. I like having Connors in that too. He would have been good on the TV show as well if it had went that way.

The newer film with "Frodo" wasn't too bad.

Re: Flipper on DVD

Hey, I loved that Flipper movie with Paul "Crocodile Dundee" Hogan and Elijah Woods. I actually watch that movie every now and then. It really is a good Flipper movie, one of the better ones. I just wish they would make a new Flipper movie because you can never get too much of your friendly neighborhood dolphin.

Re: Flipper on DVD

Yeah, Paul Hogan worked really well. Now, the bad guy in that threw me off because he looked just like Ray "They call me 'The Streak'" Stevens.

It's a great looking film too. The color of the original show was always muted because of its age but that film is like Willy Wonka colorful.

Re: Flipper on DVD

You must be referring to Jonathan Banks who played Dick Moran, the guy who was dumping that toxic waste in the ocean.
