Adventure goes sky-high as Baa Baa Black Sheep (Black Sheep Squadron) returns to DVD with the final episodes from Season One! Join Robert Conrad as Major Gregory "Pappy" Boyington as he leads a squad of misfit pilots through some of the most daring and dazzling combat missions of WWII. Co-starring Simon Oakland, Dana Elcar, John Larroquette, James Whitmore Jr., Dirk Blocker, W.K. Stratton, and Robert Ginty as his unconventional, screwball fighters, this entertaining series is loaded with incredible war planes and action-packed combat footage. The series is loosely based on the memoirs of the real-life "Pappy" Boyington. This 3-disc set concludes the Season One adventures of the pilots known everywhere as the "Terrors of the South Pacific!" Starring: Robert Conrad, Simon Oakland, John Larroquette, James Whitmore, Jr.

Adventure goes sky-high with the "Terrors of the So. Pacific",
By FranticInFresno "Fresno14" (Fresno, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Baa Baa Black Sheep: Volume 2 (DVD)
Baa Baa Black Sheep Volume 2 - This is the second half of season one.
Robert Conrad and company portray the fighter pilots of VMF214 stationed in the Solomon Islands during WWII. The action packed adventures included plenty of Corsair on Zero aerial action, both simulated and archive footage of the real thing. Later seasons were renamed The Black Sheep Squadron. This edition does include English SDH subtitles. Special features are absent, not even a voice over. The transfer quality is excellent with an aspect ratio of Full Frame 1.33 to 1. The audio is English only in Dolby digital 2.0 Mono. The box set includes 3 discs. Disc 1 Love and War The War Biz Warrior Deadliest Enemy of All Part 1 & 2 Devil in the Slot Disk 2 Five the Hard Way Last Mission Over Sengai Trouble at Fort Apache Poor Little Lambs W.A.S.P.S Disc 3 Last One for Hutch The Fastest Gun The series is loosely based on the actual exploits of the late Col.Greg "Pappy" Boyington, credited with 28 "kills" during the war and winner of the Congressional Medal of Honor (CMH). A true American hero. All in all, a fun testosterone romp. Perhaps Universal will release Season 2 in one complete package next go around. And a voice over by one of the actors or producers would be a welcome edition.

Baa Baa Black Sheep Vol. 2,
This review is from: Baa Baa Black Sheep: Volume 2 (DVD)
Along with other fans of this show, I'm glad that finally after a 2 year wait Vol. 2 was released on DVD.
I bought this title a few weeks ago and must say that even though I'm very happy to have this show on DVD I'm also a bit disappointed in this DVD release out of the following reasons: No digital restoration of the picture (but I can live with that) What bugs me the most is that 5 episodes were crammed on each of disc 1 and disc 2 but disc 3 only holds two episodes. I think they should have divided it evenly up into 4 episodes per disc that way the studio doesn't have to compress the episodes so much and have a better picture quality. This might be a point that should be taken under consideration if Universal plans to release Vol. 3 of this show on DVD. No specials on the dvd set. The show itself receives 5 stars, but the DVD release only 3 stars because of the reasons mentioned above.

Glad vol. 2 is out,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Baa Baa Black Sheep: Volume 2 (DVD)
..now lets have Season 2 so we can finely watch the whole series! I couldn't hardly wait to get this DVD open when it came today. I've always enjoyed this show and will hopefully get the final season SOON. Come on guys. You must have the rest all ready to make on DVD! :) I have the books too, but the show is great. Follows the real Pappy loosely, but hey, it's still fun to watch. The plot keeps moving and the action seans are well done. When firing the maching guns in the plane however, the real thing doesn't vibrate like on the screen. I think it just adds to the action. Keep the good TV shows like this one comming you guys. THANKS
