Hi,
If anyone's interested, the amazing, but rarely seen (in the UK, at least) uncut versions of the late-80's Vietnam war drama series "TOUR OF DUTY" will be arriving in DVD stores, in the USA, on Region 1 DVD in June 2004!
The release is the entire Season 1 boxed set (Seasons 2 and 3 will follow a few months apart, later on), and is being released by Columbia Tristar.
No extras have been confirmed yet, but it is hoped there will be audio commentaries from the cast and crew; a music video of The Rolling Stones' "Paint It Black"; and maybe a behind-the-scenes documentary about the creatinon of the show, its place in American TV history, and how US TV audiences reacted to it. (There are no other weekly TV shows that dealt/deal directly with the Vietnam war.)
It is not confirmed whether all the music that the show was famous for using, will be legally cleared to be used within the DVD release, but if it isn't, it will be very dissapointing for fans of the show, as the music was pivotal in setting the tone of the episodes and characters.
Okay. That's all. Details taken from: www.tvshowsondvd.com
Should be an excellent release, and will make an interesting companion to films like "Full Metal Jacket", "Apocalypse Now" and "The Deer-Hunter".
