Mr Kinoshita,

Thank you for message! I really appreciate it.

It definitely did show that the cast and crew were a big family, and it's part of what makes ToD special.

Thank you for your contributions to the show, and also to Craig's website.

- David

: David, Its nice to see that there are new fans
: of the show even after all this time.
: Besides being a well written show, I know
: that the cast and crew were like a big
: family. I believe that this relationship was
: reflected in the end product. I enjoyed
: reading your posts and wish they would do a
: reunion show to wrap up what happened to
: who. mike kinoshita (ToD extra 1988-1990)
: And Hi Craig

: Thanks for the reply, Craig. I am a new fan
: to
: this incredibly well-written, well-acted,
: “something special” kind of TV series. I was
: very young when the show first aired so I
: have no recollection of it but I saw it on
: Fox Classics two months ago (they air an
: episode on Saturdays and Sundays) and I have
: to say that I’m now a ToD lifer lol. I can’t
: put my DVDs away – each time I watch an
: episode, I manage to see something new. I
: just love watching it.
:
: This series is just incredible, staying true
: to the events and the characters that it
: portrays. You can’t help to admire and like
: the guys on the show – kind of like you’re
: right there with ‘em. The bond between
: soldiers to carry out their duty and to
: survive is so captivating. To be honest, the
: writing, acting and picture quality is so
: good that the show is timeless. I could not
: tell it was made in the late 80s/early 90s.
: It still looks modern to me, it hasn’t aged.
: I also liked all three seasons – they showed
: Vietnam War experience in different
: settings. I also like all the characters but
: Zeke and Goldman are my favourite.
:
: Although I’d really like to see a reunion
: movie or find out what happened to Zeke,
: Goldman and Taylor, I guess not having a
: proper ending is what has carried on the
: interest and dedication of fans to the show,
: like your website. It seems that there was
: quite a close group of people, sort of like
: a fan club, with all the websites,
: interviews, fan fiction, conventions, etc
: between 2001 to 2007, which is amazing to
: now see. The dedication of fans, cast and
: crew a like to this show even now is very
: admirable and touching. Too bad I missed out
: on it. I would have loved to have been part
: of it all and it would have be great to meet
: other fans. I’d be interested to know the
: reasons for the renewed fan interest over
: that time.
:
: There are so many great shows getting
: reunion shows, some shows that have had two
: lame reunion movies, and even some
: one-season wonders where the creator told
: fans what would have happened in the next
: three seasons. It would be great to have an
: amazing reunion for Tour of Duty.

: Hello David
: Thanks for your kind words and I'm glad you
: enjoy the site. I can't take credit for
: getting the dvds released with the original
: music, (I'd love to but I can't).
: I can't really answer any of your questions
: as to what happened next to the guys, but
: you never know I might be able to find a few
: things out given time.
:
: Loads of the guys over the years have said
: they would be interested in a reunion show,
: it would indeed be interesting to know which
: direction their lives went.
: We've already got the will. We just need a
: load of cash, the right script, and everyone
: to agree to it. Couldn't be similar really

: Hello fellow ToD fans!
:
: Firstly, Craig, thank you for maintaining
: such a great website dedicated to Tour of
: Duty, and keeping the interest in this great
: show alive.
:
: I just finished watching the DVD boxset and
: I just cannot get over how incredible is
: this show. It is not just about the Vietnam
: War and battles, but it is also a
: character-driven show which pays fitting
: tribute to the bravery, courage, deep and
: unquestioned camaraderie of the Vietnam Vets
: who actually lived it and the dangers,
: struggles and horrors they experienced
: firsthand.
:
: You can’t help but get attached to each of
: the characters but you gotta respect and
: like everyone’s favourite, Sgt Zeke
: Anderson. Terence Knox is an amazing actor
: and a terrific guy too.
:
: However, the last episode definitely left
: things hanging, especially for Anderson,
: Goldman and Taylor. I realise the point of
: the episode was to show that they changed
: and the same optimism was no longer there
: (particularly as the original platoon was no
: longer together) but I’m grateful that they
: were ok in their final scene. I could not
: imagine what I would do if it ended like
: episode 2.16 The Volunteer – I’d probably go
: nuts like Doc Hock and throw my stuff along
: with my TV out the window lol.
:
: In 2015, it will be 25 years since the
: series ended and surely there must be some
: way that we can get a reunion movie, and TV
: reunion, or Craig could at least use his
: contacts to find out what would have
: happened to Anderson, Goldman and Taylor.
: Did Anderson marry Mjr Seymour? What did he
: finally end up finding to do in his life?
: (That question has been bugging me since
: episode 2.14 Sealed with a Kiss). Did the LT
: outdo General Goldman? Did Taylor and Ru
: open up their restaurant? (It seemed that
: they leaned on each other and could help
: each other with their experiences back in
: the World).
:
: We fans need these questions answered (I
: have to say I was disappointed they were not
: dealt with in the Season 3 documentary).
:
: It appears that Joshua Maurer already had an
: idea in mind in 2007 according to accounts
: of the 2007 ToD Convention. Perhaps it could
: be a movie where they go back to Vietnam
: after all this time to finally make their
: peace with the War?
:
: More importantly, I’m grateful that the fans
: and actors are all dedicated to this
: incredible TV series.
:
: There must be something we ToD lifers and
: newbies can all do to make this reunion a
: reality. If Craig and co could manage to get
: the original series with original music on
: DVD, organise conventions and maintain such
: informative and fan-driven websites, we can
: all do this too.
:
: Keep up the good work, Craig.
:
: P.S. If Lindy Roo is out there, it’s great
: to know there are other Aussie ToD lifers –
: so jealous to got to go to the 2007
: convention.
