DVD Reviews of Blue Thunder : The Complete Series
DVD Review: Blue Thunder Bites The Dust
Summary: 3 Stars
I'm kind of amazed that they decided to go ahead and release this short-lived series of BLUE THUNDER on DVD, since it only lasted 11 episodes after it's debut on ABC in early January of 1984, since AIRWOLF's premiere on CBS in late January of 1984 led to BLUE THUNDER's cancellation by the Summer of 1984 since BLUE THUNDER started losing too many viewers through AIRWOLF all of the sudden since AIRWOLF K.O.'d BLUE THUNDER in the ratings, especially since AIRWOLF was obviously more upgraded and more sophisticated than BLUE THUNDER ever was along with the fact that AIRWOLF could do everything that BLUE THUNDER could do, plus more along with the fact that AIRWOLF was the hottest most sophisticated high-tech superchopper of all times just like KNIGHT RIDER was the hottest supercar of all times which also made AIRWOLF like the KNIGHT RIDER in helicopters, which was why AIRWOLF went for a 2nd Season in the Fall of 1984 and BLUE THUNDER didn't since the ratings on BLUE THUNDER toppled drastically once AIRWOLF made its debut on CBS practically taking Thunder out of the title of this show since AIRWOLF obviously stole BLUE THUNDERs thunder.
Therefore BLUE THUNDER turned out to be one of those movies that eventually became a TV series after being a big hit at the box office that faltered, just like 9 TO 5, FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT HIGH, FERRIS BUELLER'S DAY OFF, etc; all did since they all cancelled after running for less than a year, which is probably why people shouldn't mess with an original, despite the fact that BLUE THUNDER with Roy Scheider and Malcolm McDowell was a very good and popular movie back in the Summer of 1983 that sold millions of tickets, which is what inspired the producers to make BLUE THUNDER into a series in the first place, despite the fact that the series ended up biting the dust.
So now that BLUE THUNDER:The Series, AIRWOLF, and KNIGHT RIDER have all been released on DVD, I'm anxious to see if they ever get short-lived STREET HAWK released on DVD, especially by Universal.
By the way, I just got word that the Shout Factory will be releasing the short-lived series STREET HAWK with Rex Smith out on DVD on Tuesday July 13th, 2010 for all you high-tech show fans.
