5.0 out of 5 stars Thank you to "VEI" for releasing all three seasons QUICKLY!, February 26, 2008

This review is from: Riptide: The Complete Third And Final Season (DVD)

VEI proves once again that they care about the fans! All three seasons of Riptide, released QUICKLY! For comparison, Sony released only the first season of Riptide, and I'd be willing to bet that's the only release you'll see from them! Anyone purchasing Riptide on DVD should NOT PURCHASE the Sony release of season one. If a DVD releasing company does not support the fans, we should not support THEM!

Riptide season three;

The final season, featuring 22 episodes and such notable guest stars as; Richard Hatch (Battlestar Galactica), Jane Badler (V), Cesar Romero (Batman), Barbi Benton (Playboy), Steve Allen (The Steve Allen Show), and many more!

Now, I can't wait for "Stingray" to be released! Another great Stephen J, Cannell creation!

I would love to see VEI re-release all of the Stephen J. Cannell TV series that Anchor Bay ruined. Even if they could not restore all of the original music, I'm sure almost ANYONE could do a better job releasing "Hunter", "21 Jump Street", and "the Greatest American Hero". Anchor Bay basically RUINED each one of those series with HORRIBLE edits and pathetic music replacements! I realize that VEI has also changed SOME music on Riptide, but they have done a far better job than Anchor Bay ever did! VEI also QUICKLY released all three seasons of Hardcastle and McCormick, unedited!

Three cheers for VEI, I hope they're listening!

I loved when this show was on. I use to wait each week for a new one. Now I just pop in the dvds and watch. Whats going to be sad is when I get to the last show in season 3.

This review is from: Riptide: The Complete Third And Final Season (DVD)

This is one of those male-bonding type shows, where everything hinges on the chemistry among the characters. For example, if you like things like 'Bonanza' or 'Magnum P.I.', you might enjoy this. The show centers around 3 friends who run a detective agency. The episodes vary in quality, but it doesn't matter all that much, because the guys are so likeable. It's one of those shows that works on the strength of the characters and the actors playing them. Personally, I enjoyed the interaction among the guys on this show as much as anything else. They kind of offset each other-one sort of surly and short-tempered, one a bit more charming and outgoing, and one who is a cerebral, geeky type. It makes for a great combination. I wish the show had lasted longer than 3 seasons.
