"Chopper One" clips

[Hope It Is The Grog]

I'd never gone looking for clips of Chopper One before, but just found a couple of clips from the pilot episode that have been there since 2006. Only a handful of lines from Dirk, but beggars can't be choosers.

Then there's audio of the theme song, apparently both opening and closing:

And I suppose I should have posted this in the Media/Video forum, shouldn't I?

I swiped a few clips, and posted them over on fb.

I hate to admit it, but it looks like a fairly boring show, unless you happen to be a fan of watching helicopters maneuver around.

The producers clearly didn't have a grasp on acting. They thought the helicopter was going to be the focal point.

I've always had faint childhood memories of the show, but all they consisted of was "There was a helicopter." I see now they were pretty much on the money.

Can you believe this series is on DVD now?

It is a last ditched effort to try to grab a few more dollars from the show. It didn't last long enough in a series to have reruns, so home release is just about all they can do. I bet Dirk is at the mail box now waiting for his slice of the penny he might get from this.

Someone on Amazon helpfully listed the guest actors from each episode. There were several Star Trek veterans, and I recognize John Quade and Kenneth Tobey as having played sheriffs in Galactica 1980. Also, it's cool that Lloyd Bochner (Commandant Leiter) and Frank Marth (Josh Moreland) appeared in the same Chopper One episode before both appearing in Greetings from Earth.
