Summary: Baa Baa Black Sheep
Comment: I was most satisfied with the expeditious delivery and the condition of the DVD.
Thanks
Customer Rating:
Summary: Outstanding Entertainment
Comment: While only loosely based on the true story of the Black Sheep Squadron, the series is highly entertaining. Well written and acted, it has just the right balance of drama, action, pathos, and humor. It beats anything on TV today by a wide margin. It's my hope that they release the remaining episodes on DVD soon.

Summary: Just Not Worth It!
Comment: Amazon really needs to add a ZERO STARS option. Even one star is too much for this show.
Back in the '70s, I used to love this program. But from the day it went off the air, I slowly began to realize that is was completely fabricated. Except for a pilot named Pappy Boyington and a Marine Squadron 214, everything about this show was not only made up, but a complete farce, featuring drunks with a complete lack of discipline who somehow manage to defeat the enemy. Knowing all of this, I bought this DVD anyway, but I just can't bring myself to watch it again and again. Time to move on. I donated it to a Church yard sale and it didn't even sell there!
With all of the remakes being done, I hope someday somebody does an accurate, intelligent version of the story of the real Black Sheep squadron.

Summary: VMF-214
Comment: A big fan of this series as a kid, I have always been a fan of the VMF-214 exploits. Even though the real Maj. Boyington was a consultant on the series, from what I know now, I'm afraid it is a bit far fetched. But the stories are still good entertainment. Furthermore, the Marine Corps that I served in was alot different. So young folks shouldn't base there image of the Corps from what see here, as I did. Still love those Corsairs.

Summary: Aces
Comment: It was as I remembered when it was first on television. This irreverant look at life as a marine pilot, was a roitious adventure. Greg 'Pappy' Boyington bent, broke, shattered the naval regulations every chance he could. although far fetched at times, the series held true to the spirit of the book.
The ONLY complaint is that it takes 2 purchases to recieve ALL of season one. (who are these guys? Columbia House??)
When is the second season going to draw its' sights on the populas??
