Flipper really is coming to DVD - seriously!

FlipperI'd just like to take this opportunity to confront Adam Finley about the comments he has made about me on this very blog. Just last week he told you that I had lied when I said that Flipper was coming out on DVD. Well, Mr. Finley, Flipper is coming out on DVD, and here's the proof.

The set will contain all 30 episodes from the first season, on four discs. No word yet on commentaries or other extras. Though it would be cool to see what the Ricks kids are up to these days (Brian Kelly, who played the dad, died in 2005).

I'm not quite sure why Adam doubted my original story. He just doesn't seem to understand the special mind bond I have with dolphins around the globe. Then again, nobody does. It's something I've had to put up with my whole life. Nobody understands.

They call him Flipper, Flipper, and he's coming to DVD

FlipperI loved this show as a kid. I know either Nickelodeon or TV Land showed repeats during the 90s, but I haven't seen it around since then. There was an update or two in the 90s too I, I believe, as well as that big screen movie with Elijah Wood, before he got Hobbitized.

The entire Flipper series - all 87 episodes - is going to be released on DVD by a Canadian company, kaBOOM! Entertainment. The first set will be released this fall, and then the other three sets will be released in 2007.

Brian Kelly, who played the father in the series, died last year. Luke Halpin, who played Sandy, is still involved in the movie industry, while Tommy Norden, who played Bud, retired from acting and works in his family business.
