From the moment China Beach debuted in 1988, with its iconic opening credits set to the Supremes’ “Reflections” as its theme song, it was hailed as groundbreaking television. In an era of testosterone-driven war movies, China Beach delivered a unique perspective: the Vietnam War through the eyes of women!
Never before released on DVD or VHS! You can now own the entire TV series with this deluxe collector’s edition housed in a beautiful display box. Includes 268 classic hit songs as they were played in the original broadcast.
This long-awaited set features over 10 hours of new bonus features, including a reunion with the China Beach cast, including Dana Delany (First Lieutenant Colleen McMurphy), Marg Helgenberger (K.C. Kolowski), Michael Boatman (PVT Sam Beckett), Robert Picardo (Captain Dr. Dick Richard) and many more.
And, you'll enjoy an exclusive booklet, "Tales from the Five & Dime,” with character bios, interview transcripts, letters from vets and much more.
Since the DVD revolution I have been waiting for a DVD release of this show and finally it's here.
Time-Life has released a box set of the entire show. Now I thought I would start watching these as soon as I got the set. (It came last Friday) however I think I am going to watch this great show in the SUmmer Time with Marathon Viewing.
Now in case you have never seen the show I beg you to buy this set. It was ahead of its time. What is great is that everyone on this show seems to be perfectly cast. I wish somehow that would film a "Reunion" type show. The concept of reunion movies most of the time doesn't work however with "China Beach" it would not be a problem.
