The first television series to depict the American soldier in
combat during the Vietnam War, producer Zev Braun's Emmy-nominated Tour of
Duty earned critical acclaim during its three-season run. Relive the drama
and tension endured by the men of Company B, a racially and socially
diverse platoon led by Sgt. Zeke Anderson (Terence Knox), as they
serve their twelve-month tour in 1967. What's missing, as longtime
fans will immediately note, is the theme song (the Rolling Stones'
"Paint It Black") and much of the vintage rock music that played
throughout the series. They've been replaced by generic (if effective)
library tracks, which may lessen the impact of certain favorite scenes
for viewers familiar with the broadcast versions.
