Laikals The greatest movie ever made..!

Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

ed-ryba There's no way I can top Corfman's review above, so I'm not even going to try. That review already says absolutely everything I wanted to say. So instead, I WILL use this space to ask one simple question: WHAT ON EARTH IS THE MATTER WITH THE IDIOTS AT VIACOM? Aren't you Bozos a BUSINESS? And don't BUSINESSES exist to MAKE MONEY?? Viacom OWNS Paramount, the successor to Desilu Productions, and just happens to OWN CBS, the TV network where "Whirlybirds" made its debut. So I shall ask as loudly as I can: WHICH OF YOU JERK-MEATS IN THE HOME-VIDEO DIVISION IS ASLEEP AT THE SWITCH? Why isn't there a DVD or Blu-Ray box set of ALL 111 "Whirlybirds" shows? If you BONEHEADS would just bother to read everything on this page and the previous one, YOU (or someone who can read them to you) SHOULD be able to figure out that the first run of copies would sell out almost INSTANTLY!!!!!!!Get the picture? Just go back to the original 35mm negatives, strike new prints, digitally restore them, make up a spiffy-looking package, and then get ready to make money hand over fist!

oniowa1 "The Whirlybirds" TV show got more guys interested in flying helicopters than any other show! The Bell 47 was used in the first episodes, to be followed by the Bell 47J later. Kenneth Tobey and Craig Hill were excellent in the roles of Chuck Martin and P.T. Moore. They would always use a copter to save lives, solve crimes, or take care of business. This is one series I would LOVE to see on DVD! An awful lot of pilots would buy them as fast as they could make them, if they were of good quality! It was so much fun to watch the boys get in and out of one scrape after another. You knew they weren't the real pilots, but it was fun and games anyway!

John (opsbooks) Okay, it wasn't the exact same 'chopper' that appeared in M*A*S*H but that's what started me watching the latter classic. Good theme which I would like to hear again, almost as good as 'Cannonball'. Two likeable actors but I can't really remember much else. Ah, those were the days; take me back to 1959. TV evenings in Sydney would bring you some classic Westerns plus 'Whirlybirds' and of course 'Sea Hunt'.

tocahema I watched every episode every Friday night when it aired back in the mid 50's and loved every episode. I wonder why this series has never been released on video. I for one would buy every episode, that is how much I loved the 'Whirlybirds'. I've been hoping they would show them on Nick at Night. No such luck though. There has never been a TV series as great as the 'Whirlybirds'.
