It's nice to see they finally have released this 1984 t.v. series which has Perry King & Joe Penny (along with Thom Bray) running a detective agency from their boat in a Los Angeles area marina. I've always felt this series was never given its due--it was popular but never a critics favorite. The guys have good chemistry with one another & playing off their good-nature banter. Each episode provides another excuse for them to battle the bad guys, ride in their helicopter, race in boats & impress the girls. Its complete t.v. escapism at its best. The series holds up well--& both leads were at their peak of "hunkdom" in their shorts & tight jeans. I think it was way better than "A Team" and "Blue Thunder" which were aired around the same time. Glad to get the opportunity to purchase the first season & hope they release the next 2 seasons soon.Read full review
RIPTIDE WAS ONE OF THOSE TV SERIES THAT SHOULD HAD BEEN ON LONGER THEN IT WAS. RIPTIDE WAS A TV SERIES THAT OUT CLASS MOST OF THE TV SHOWS THAT ARE ON TODAY. I DO NOT WATCH VERY MUCH TV THESE DAYS BUT IF THERE WERE MORE TV SHOWS LIKE RIPTIDE I WOULD WATCH MORE TV SHOWS THEN I DO NOW.

This is a great series that the whole family can enjoy. I watched this when it was on TV and I was so glad to see it available on DVD. The characters are so much fun to watch, they keep you laughing every episode. If you were a fan of the show when it was on you are going to love seeing it again.

Stephen Cannell created so many great shows in the 80s. Too many to list here. This is one of them. Detective show of friends working together using boats, helicopter and a robot.

The dvd is wonderful and contains every episode from the 1st season. I decided to buy it because ever since tv on dvd began I have been looking for this particular series. I absolutely love Riptide! I used to watch it every night when I was a kid and it is one of my all time favorite detective shows of the 80's. It also came at a GREAT PRICE, especially with all of it's contents!
