Summary: Great series, well written
Comment: This series sure brings back memories. I remember watching this series when I could back in the eighties (Thursday nights?). Good stories! Some episodes are a reach, but still entertaining.

Summary: Love hate opinion of this DVD set
Comment: I love the show Tour of Duty, I think it is much better than Band of Brothers (personal opinion). The show was well made, before computer effects so you might be surprised at all the real helicopters and explosions. The characters were good (though the actors took a few episodes to really find their characters).
The stories were remarkably interesting and original given the setting. And though this must have been the most well-behaved platoon in the war, the topics of war crimes and the like is not completely glossed over.

The bad - the box is nice but this set is overpriced. There are no special features at all. The music has been mentioned by others and having (almost) all of the original music removed does change the feel of the show - instead of 60s music from the time of the war the show has a lot of 80s style music that sounds like it was made on a synthesiser in someone's room. It gets really bad when there are references made by characters to music that isn't actually playing. Then again I remember the roiginal, so I can't say how a new viewer would be affected by the current soundtrack.

Comment: I loved this show when it was on TV and now I am thrilled to relive those episodes again. I hate when the show was pulled...I guess a little too realistic for some. Great acting and realistic scenarios. A+!
