Blue Thunder (TV series)
Blue Thunder was a 1984 ABC-TV series based on the movie of the same title.
The series used the converted Aérospatiale Gazelle helicopter and large portions of stock footage from the 1983 film. As backup to the helicopter, a ground unit, Rolling Thunder (not in the original film) was featured. This was a large support van with a desert camouflage off-road vehicle inside.
Eleven episodes were made before the series was cancelled.
A Region 1 DVD set of the series was released on 22 August 2006.
The series cast included James Farentino, Dana Carvey, and former professional American football players Bubba Smith and Dick Butkus. The show was canceled by ABC after they felt the similar Airwolf on CBS would win the ratings battle. Also, the series aired opposite CBS' blockbuster series "Dallas" on Friday nights, and lost.
