Flipper

Good kiddie fare. Agree with "Lassie Under the Sea" analogy.

dolphin was cool. scenery was nice. kids were annoying. writing was recycled "lassie" under-the-sea.

Good family show. "They called him Flipper..."

Great family television

I wish Ranger Ricks would come watch over my swamp. The kids were annoying though.

Great show. The best part is that my kids got to watch it many years later in reruns. What a handsome father that Bryan Kelly made and Sandy and Bud were darling too.FL has changed a lot since then and thats why this show is such is a treasure.

I love dolphins and Flipper was so cute. Four years ago I lived right down the street from Ivan Tors studio in North Miami, Florida where Flipper and many other great shows were filmed such as Gentle Ben and Miami Vice.

A bit too cutesy. The father looked like he spent his free time lifting weights, not raising two kids.

This show sorta reminds me of a training film for gayboy wannabes. The butch father, the absent mother, the lean, smooth, pale blonde older brother, the engaging younger brother who's in love with a tube-shaped aquatic mammal that's always springing out of the water in a vigorous, masculine arc. It's all there. Also, I found the dolphin to be quite irritating. I always wanted to drop several super colossal olives down that varmint's blowhole.

This show was great for what it was, sort of a Lassie of the sea, I watched alot as a kid, dont watch much now.

Dolphin? Was there a dolphin? I remember there was a half-hour of Luke Halpin with his shirt off....

Flipper was a good family show. You’ll notice by this list - we had a lot of those way back then. Of course, I'll be the first to admit that doesn't necessarially mean they were all great shows (i.e., "My Mother the Car" - pahleez!). "Flipper" as I recall, writing and acting-wise, plodded along a bit. But I always enjoyed the sight of that sweet dolphin’s face and the bubbly little laughing voice. Flipper was a kind of aquatic answer to Lassie and, in its day, it worked.

The only thing that was good about this was that it was better then the movie.
