Flipper The Original Series Season 2

Hooray! For Season Two!!
"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...

Flipper Season Two
MGM has decided to give us fans what we deserve, some more Flipper episodes. Flipper Season Two will be released on DVD, but not in stores. This eight disc set will have all thirty episodes of Flipper Season Two, but the chance of any good bonus features does not seem likely but it will be great just to have the episodes on DVD.

Well since all of you know the plot of this show by now, I will just list the episodes for anyone who would like to know.

Flipper and the Mermaid - Airdate: 9/18/65 - Flipper rescues a lady oceanographer from a barracuda and finds a permanent new friend as Ulla Norstrand joins the adventures of the Ricks family.

Dolphin in Pursuit (Part 1) - Airdate: 9/25/65 - When the Ricks family visits a deserted island a fugitive steals their motor launch leaving them stranded without radio, food or supplies.

Dolphin in Pursuit (Part 2) - Airdate: 10/2/65 -Flipper tows Porter Ricks to his stolen launch, where he finds that the...

Only part of the second season!
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.
