Hawaii Five-O Title CardHawaii Five-O DVD set completed!
1/20/2012 - CBS DVD (distributed by Paramount) has released the Region 1 DVD set for Hawaii Five-O's twelfth and final season (Hawaii Five-O: The 12th and Final Season), which finishes the official release of the complete series on DVD in Region 1 that started back in March of 2007 (minus the Season Two episode "Bored, She Hung Herself"). Regions 2 and 4 have had the first seven seasons released on DVD so far. Great to see that all twelve seasons have been officially released in Region 1! Hawaii Five-O has a lot of ties to Magnum P.I. (same television "universe", Oahu filming locations, Hawaii Film Studio soundstage, shared sets and props, etc.). The "Big Two" Hawaii-based television shows teamed up to provide an unbroken string of twenty straight years of Hawaiian adventures (1968-1988). McGarrett was mentioned several times in Magnum episodes. It's a shame that Jack Lord never made a guest star appearance on the show (as Zulu, Al Harrington, Kam Fong and Herman Wedemeyer did). Also, be sure to check out the new, re-imagined Hawaii Five-0 Mondays at 10 EST on CBS. Although much different from the original, it's quite good in its own right!

1/10/2012 - From the better-late-than-never department, John Aberle of WCHE 1520 AM in Philadelphia hosted a great interview with Larry Manetti last year (February). Mr. Aberle is a big fan of Magnum P.I. which comes through clearly in his talk with Larry. The one-hour interview can be found here (Life Unedited with John Aberle). It's well worth the listen!


CRN Digital Talk RadioRoger E. Mosley on The PM Show with Larry Manetti on CRN!
12/11/2011 - Roger E. Mosley was a special guest on The PM Show with Larry Manetti on CRN last week (December 6th). Roger chatted with Larry, Larry's wife Nancy and host Mike Horn about the Magnum P.I. days (including some great stories about the filming of the Christmas episode "Operation: Silent Night"), his special appearance with Larry Manetti on Tom Selleck's Las Vegas television show a couple of years ago, as well as some other interesting anecdotes from his 35+ years in the television and film industry. It was great to see the two of them together again! The show can be viewed in its entirety here. Larry's show airs every Tuesday on CRN1, 4:00 pm PT - 5:00 pm PT. Don't miss it!


Tom Selleck & Merv Griffin (1986)The Merv Griffin Show - Magnum P.I. Cast Interview (1986)!
11/3/2011 - Magnum Mania! is proud to announce that we have video footage of the Magnum P.I. cast (Tom, John, Larry, Roger) appearance on The Merv Griffin Show in 1986. The video can be viewed in its entirety here (36 minutes long, no commercials). This long lost footage was discovered on an old VHS tape by Max Schueneman who was kind enough to send it to us. The show was recorded just before the Magnum gang filmed Season Seven's opener "L.A." in Los Angeles. Tom Selleck is interviewed first. He is then joined by John Hillerman, Larry Manetti and Roger E. Mosley who each come out separately as "surprise" guests. For Magnum fans, this is a must see!
