'Daniel Boone' leads TV-to-DVD list
DANIEL BOONE: SEASON 1 (Liberation/Goldhil, 1964-65, not rated, b/w, $49.98, eight discs) Parker scored big in the 1950s as Disney's "Davy Crockett"; then, a decade later, he played a similar role as Daniel Boone in a series that ran six years. And once again Parker's soft-spoken demeanor and athletic charm served him well.
Boone was a frontiersman who blazed trails, battled redcoats before and during the Revolutionary War, and dealt with both friendly and hostile Native Americans, while demonstrating his skill with a long rifle and the occasional tomahawk.
He had a wisecracking, earthy sidekick (Albert Salmi) in the first season, along with his Indian friend Mingo (Ed Ames) and his wife (Rebecca Blair). Veronica Cartwright plays his daughter. Guest stars in this season include Leslie Nielson, George Gobel, Harry Dean Stanton, Dan Duryea and young Kurt Russell in no less than two episodes, playing different characters.
Extras: Full frame, 28 episodes, featurettes, photo gallery, language options (English, Spanish), chapters. ("Season 2" is also being released on Tuesday.)
Extras: Full frame, 13 episodes, subtitle options (English, French, Spanish), chapters.
RIPTIDE: THE COMPLETE FIRST SEASON (Sony, 1984, not rated, $39.95, three discs) Perry King and Joe Penny play sparring beach bums who run a shabby detective agency in Southern California, using an even shabbier boat and helicopter. Helping out is inventor nerd Thom Bray (look for the episode with Gina Davis as Bray's prankster sister). Anne Francis co-stars in the first half of this season, and guest stars include Kelly Preston, Dennis Franz and Lance Henriksen.
Extras: Full frame, 13 episodes, optional English subtitles, chapters.
