Blue Thunder
Blue Thunder is the name of both a movie and a television series that aired on ABC in1984. Blue Thunder centered around the Blue Thunder chopper. The series makes use of the modified Aérospatiale Gazelle helicopter, as well as significant amounts of stock footage taken from the 1983 movie. In the television series, the helicopter was backed up by a ground unit that was given the name "Rolling Thunder." This was a massive support van, and inside of it was stashed a desert camouflage off-road vehicle. In addition to Dana Carvey and James Farentino, former professional American football players Bubba Smith and Dick Butkus are featured in the cast of the television series. ABC decided to end the series because they believed that its competitor, CBS's Airwolf, would prevail in the ratings competition. A further disadvantage for the show was that it competed for viewers' attention on Friday nights against the popular CBS soap drama Dallas. Before the series was canceled, a total of eleven episodes had been produced.
