Flipper The Original Series Season 2

Let me just note that the DVD's contained in this set are not the normal DVD's that you obtain from Best Buy or Target, they are burned on DVD-R's just like you would burn at home with the bluish recording surface. Rumor has it that the life span of these discs is shorter, for whatever it is worth. Amazon has this as an "On Demand" title, meaning that when you order it, the set it burned especially for you and not pulled off of a warehouse shelve somewhere. For titles that do not sell enough to manufacture in the usual process this is a good alternative to not seeing these titles available at all, and I clap my hands that it is available through Amazon. I had to return this set once because an episode got "stuck", but the replacement set was OK. Amazon makes returns very easy, and you do not have to pay return shipping. The audio and video quality of this set is outstanding, colors are nicely saturated, and the audio is crisp. Keep in mind no one was thinking about releasing the series on DVD's in the 60's, and the audio is purely mono. The set consists of 8 discs in 2 Amaray style cases, each one holding 4 discs. The artwork is pretty generic, I'm sure most people could provide better, but it's the content on the discs that matters. I really enjoyed watching Flipper, sure the series seems a little bit juvenile, but I prefer the word innocent. It's also great to see shots of Florida from back in the 60's, now it just seems so commercial and built up. I hope MGM decides to release the remaining season even if it is through their on demand service.

"Flipper" was one of those many, many TV shows you had to choose from back in the 1960s when great shows were all over the dial. I was a young kid back then and for some reason "Flipper" was a show I chose to pass on when channel surfing. With TV in such a bad state today I've been turning to vintage television for entertainment. I bought season one of "Flipper" and to my surprise I loved it! And I've been talking about the series with others my age who also passed it up and I've been recruiting quite a few fans. When I heard Season Two of "Flipper" was coming out I immediately ordered it. I recently got my copy in the mail and I am happy to report the quality of the prints are just as pristine and beautiful as the first season on DVD, all in gorgeous color. True, the cover artwork on the box, the discs themselves and the onscreen menu are lackluster. But what's important is that Season Two has been released and a Season Three release would be the icing on the cake. Burt Reynolds and other big stars are featured in season two. In fact, there are quite a number of two part episodes in the second season. If you're tired of the junk out there on TV today do yourself a favor and get Season One or Two of "Flipper." Brian Kelly's character of Porter Rick, raising two boys without their mother, makes for some very moving moments on the show. There's a lot of love between the three of them or should I say four, when you include Flipper. That's why I keep coming back for more.

Although, compared to other DVD-sets, this Flipper Season 2 DVD-set is too expensive, the picture quality is excellent. First I bought seasons 1, 2, 3 from fxcloudmedia. I payed $90.34. They sent met crap. Most DVD's didn't play in my standalone DVD player. The picture quality was horrible on the DVD's I could play. They recorded this from television (the Animal Planet logo was on screen all the time) and they must have used a VHS recorder for this. Also there was no artwork. Only some DVD-R's in a cheap box. I've tried to contact fxcloudmedia about this, but they are not responding. So don't buy any fxcloudmedia products! Buy the real thing, The Flipper Original Series Season 2 here on Amazon or elsewhere.

I am so excited to have two full seasons of the series out.An excellent show,a strong male lead (Brian Kelly), two cute kids (Luke Halpin and Tommy Norden)and a cute dolphin(FLipper) who obeys their commands and the most scenic part of the Florida when the sky and water were clear.Filmed in color 2 years before it became common place,Flipper is a wonderful burst of color during the early years of color filming tv series.Thank God NBC had the foresight not to film Flipper in black and white.That makes this series ultra special and you never know who might show up.Some great guest stars have been Barbara Feldon, Burt Reynolds, Lynda Day George, Jessica Walter and Martin E.Brooks to name a few.Ok MGM were ready for the third season.Tv shows like this will never come again no matter how hard they try and in those days they would crank out at least 25 to 30 episodes a season.They just don't make em like that anymore.A true classic to have in you dvd library.

When I purchased the first season, I received four disks. When I purchased this item, I again received four disks, which were numbered from 5 to 8. When I saw this, I believed that the numbering was merely continuing from the numbering of the disks that I had received in the first season set. However, while looking at information on Wikipedia, I noticed that the second season includes many more episodes than I received. Then when I checked with the Amazon listing for this item, I noticed that many episodes are listed that I did not receive. Apparently I should have been sent disks 1 to 4, which I never received. Consider this a warning. When you purchase the Flipper Season 2 set, be certain you are not cheated as I was. Unfortunately, I did not realize that half of the set was missing until December 2nd and my last day to return this item to Amazon.com was November 29th.

You will enjoy it.

Still watching this but am reminded by how terrific it really was. The acting is great but what sticks out is how, whenever the youngest boy Bud is on the screen, you cannot help but appreciate what a great time young Tommy Norden appeared to be having. He just stands out. The product also arrived early!!!!!!!

Très bien détaillé,avec le résumé de la saison 2.avec la liste des épisodes. Dommage que la SÉRIE NE SOIT PAS TRADUIT EN LANGUE FRANÇAISE. J'espére qu'il y aura la SAISON 3.

Loving receiving the original series of Flipper, so quickly. A great thrill to watch today as it was in my youth. Thank you. Highly recommended.

I just loved Flipper (the original series) when I was a child and I still love it. So of course, I have every intention of purchasing the whole series. This SEASON 2 is just great. It is much better than the SEASON 1 I had purchased because this one is not a “flip side” version. One disk at a time, this is what I like. (But I must explain that I am not talking about the stories, SEASON 1 is my favourite when we strictly talk about the story plot). I almost watched every episodes and so far I had no problems whatsoever with any of the disks. I find the image and sound being of good quality.
