Games - Tour of Duty


Tour of Duty was an American television drama series on air from 1987 to 1990. The show follows an American platoon on a tour of duty during the Vietnam War. It was the first television series to show Americans in combat in Vietnam and was one of several similarly-themed series to be produced in the wake of the acclaimed Oliver Stone film, Platoon.

The show was created by Steve Duncan and L. Travis Clark, and produced by Zev Braun. It ran for three seasons as 58 one hour episodes, broadcast on CBS. The Rolling Stones' "Paint it Black" was the theme song of the series, and the show was known for its excellent classic rock soundtrack including Creedence Clearwater Revival, Jimi Hendrix, and Jefferson Airplane. The series won an Emmy in 1988 for Outstanding Sound Mixing for a Drama Series, and was nominated again in 1989 and 1990. For copyright reasons the VHS and DVD soundtracks were replaced with more generic music by lesser-known bands.

Not simply an action program, Tour of Duty was also groundbreaking as it addressed the issues of racism, suicide, terrorism, civilian deaths, drug abuse, and the shattered lives and confused feelings of those troops who finally made it home alive.
