VHS Movie Reviews of China Beach / Premiere Episode [VHS]
Movie Review: These women were important and deserve to have their voices heard.
Summary: 5 Stars
I have never seen a show like this, and know that I never will. In times of war, women are often forgotten; the invisible support pushed out of the limelight by the action-packed experience of combat soldiers. China Beach tried to change that. It portrayed women in various different capacities during the Vietnam war. Nurses, prostitutes, Red Cross workers, enlisted women, officers, reporters, performers... China Beach gave them faces, histories, futures, pain, and joy. The show had an arc; it showed what happened to non-combatants both in country and back in the world after their tours. Women are often forgotten, but China BEach made that impossible. Go to the Women's monument at the Wall in DC and try not to superimpose the face of Dana Delaney onto any of those nurses.
I'm not going to preach, but this show needs to be on DVD. Right now. Honor the vets with their story told from every point of view. I can buy every episode of "Masters of the Universe" but not China Beach? This show won four Emmys and was nominated for many more. The show is marketable: Tour of Duty sells like hotcakes, as does Platoon and other Vietnam movies, Marg Helgenberger is hotter than hot with CSI, and the production team is well-known for making quality programming. Please please please release this on DVD. It is a travesty that it is unavailable.

Movie Review: This series still haunts me
Summary: 5 Stars
This series pulled at my heart in a way that no series has since. It was profoundly moving.
Please, please, release this to DVD in its entirety. It's just too important a production to let gather dust. Still pertinent. Still very topical in a time when war once again places our young people in peril.

Summary: 5 Stars
CHINA BEACH was the first program i could watch about vietnam - and i missed the first season becase i still could not handle it. i grew up watching the real thing - body bags on the evening news every night. maybe that is why, for me, some of the most powerful episodes were in the morgue. I WANT THE WHOLE SERIES ON DVD!! i have old deteriorated tapes of the final episode - where they all went to the wall - and 'vets'. good drama is emotional pain - and this series is right up there with hill st. blues, st. elsewhere, and west wing. for those of us who grew up in that era, it was a coming of age reality check. let's get the best on DVD!!
