Please excuse this totally OT comment... good news,when the Encore Classic Channel's 7pm ET Magnum runs Resolutions2 on Thursday October 7,they will begin all over on Friday the 8th with the pilot episode. While looking for the schedule,came across a Dish Network schedule that called MPI "one of the...

The series finale IIRC was "saved" for May 1st '88 to run during "Sweeps Week",the last ratings period of the '87-'88 season. It did very well,too.
