DVD Reviews of Flipper - The Original Series, Season 1
DVD Review: Flipper Season One
Summary: 5 Stars
I was looking up the 90's remake of Flipper on amazon.com and when the results came up I spotted Flipper Season One. (I never knew there was a television show) So I asked my mom if she had ever seen it. She said it was a really good show and since my favorite animals are dolphins I decided to buy it and boy am I glad I did.
When I got it in the mail I was really exited but I didn't really enjoy the first episode. But after a few more episodes I really started to enjoy the show and now it's one of my favorite shows I own. It took me some time before I got used to all the characters but when I did the show was a lot of fun to watch. Now the acting isn't amazing but it's not bad either. Porter Ricks (Brian Kelly) is a widowed father and the Chief Warden of Coral Key Park. (Porter Ricks is in my opinion corny but I like him any ways.) Sandy Ricks (Luke Halpin) is Porter Rick's oldest son and helps his dad at Coral Key Park. Bud Ricks (Tommy Norden) is the youngest and his favorite companion is Flipper.
There's hardly any grainy footage and the episodes are not edited, so it's definitely worth buying. Unfortunately there are no bonus features... oh yeah there's a trivia game hooray... But seriously, when are we going to get some real bonus features for these sets. At least some interviews or a documentary...sigh...One last annoying this is that the DVD's are double sided which makes them easier to get scratched. On the positive side the backs of the DVD cases have the original airdates and episode descriptions which I'll show below.
