One factor I'm interested in is the bonus/extra material. Are there differences between the various releases?

After watching a number of episodes now and reading recent threads on the new Blu ray releases here, it looks like Roku might be streaming the US Blu ray release or at least the same master. The colors look lifelike and vivid (although maybe even a little saturated imho) and the blacks are dark, but...

Thanks for that review! For me I guess it's down to the trade offs of loss of some detail from de-noising and the syndicated episodes.

Does anyone know which extras are new for the US release? And does the US release also contain all the extras in the UK release?

It's definitely a case of each having their pros and cons. Here are a couple of caps from the US and UK Don't Say Goodbye. The US version has what appears to be truer colors, but there is a loss of detail from the grain removal, look at TC's hair, the fuzz on his t-shirt or the bills in his hand. T...

That was me that posted the Amazon review about the missing eight minutes in the pilot in the US release. The UK release is okay for the pilot, I don't have the French release to check. Upon further inspection of the US set, all the episodes that aired in two hour timeslots (a total of six) are spl...

Noticed there are some user reviews on Amazon now, as well as a couple YouTube reviews. Seems like folks are happy with the video quality but the main gripe is the Pilot ep may not be the original broadcast version, not sure what would have been edited out though.

Thanks for flagging this release. It's a steep ask, especially since a lot of people who would want it already have it and many can even stream it. I would think they would try to put together some bonus content to try to get people to pull out their wallets. I sure wish they'd finally produce some...

Regarding the recent back and forth about scenes of/in the interior of the real Pahonu, as soon as I get a chance I am going to copy some of the good screen shots folks provided and use them to kick-start a new thread dedicated to documenting that topic. Hopefully it will be something that the knowl...

K Hale: good catch on the left door/right door reversal in that scene! This horse is now enjoyably reduced to pulp, and without debating interior vs exterior, looking back at Pahonu's drawings here http://magnum-mania.com/Forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=285&start=2235#p56091 , it's clear that the photo fr...

We're a similar vintage and origin Sounds like you stuck around. I'm up north now, but still have a lot of connections in the area. This architectural style is one of the things I miss being up here.

So could it be that the camera looking OUT from where Higgins is standing inside the door is from the actual Estate foyer, but what we see in the view looking IN towards Higgins and Magnum is actually the set or faux interior? Another tell could be in the echo's in the voices noted by K Hale. If I ...

I'm generally familiar with the Spanish Revival style, being a southern CA kid... So I think I get the concept of the foyer and a partially-open breezeway to the sides of what might be a front door. But I guess I'm a little confused by what appears in that scene in "By its cover" at around the 5 min...

Hi Old Dusseldorf, I don't believe there is another more focused Pahonu thread with interior shots etc.....everything is located in this one big box. :wink: You should start one ! :D As already discussed.......Eve Anderson didn't allow filming inside the house for Magnum PI, but the original HFO ha...

Thanks for this tip!

FINALLY made it through this thread (only took me half the year)! What a roller coaster of excitement at the amazing photos, drawings, maps, and other information folks have provided, tempered by the emptiness of Pahonu's demolition. Robin's Nest was one of my favorite parts of the show and I spent ...
