I haven't seen them all, but I didn't find the movies that I have seen to capture much of the magic of the original series. But that's just my personal opinion, and as I say, I haven't seen them all.

Also, I'm not sure it's simply down to Tom Selleck not making any reunion movie.

9) Transitions ...Really? I personally consider this one of the weakest eps, but it's great that everyone finds different things in each eps. and sorry but I have to list "Death and Taxes"..if anyone wanted to hook someone on Magnum I think these would do it. :wink: Tuh, cheat! If I had done that, ...

China Doll is one of my all time faves. From "Hi Ho" to the Tong warrior getting his head blown off, I loved it. Sure, Mai Ling's acting was pretty bad, but this episode I feel cemented the group. Rick playing his part, TC "watch his eyes, he blinks before he strikes". I just love it. Ha, I love "H...

Good to see 'China Doll' getting some love, from both James and Conch. It was one of the very first episodes I ever saw (not because it is the first regular ep, but ITV here in the UK ran the episodes out of sequence, especially on re-runs), I just love the feel of it. A great villain, a more myster...

I'd already mentioned 'Mixed Doubles' and 'Paradise Blues', but I'd also like to throw into the mix THIS ISLAND ISN'T BIG ENOUGH (s6) - terrible episode with deeply unfunny guest character NOVEL CONNECTION (s7) - Pointless cross-over... one of the worst cross-overs, of any show, ever A GIRL NAMED SU...

My vote goes for the bratty tennis star played by Kim Richards in Mixed Doubles. Sure, she's SUPPOSED to be annoying, but I think it's a bit too convincing! http://magnum-mania.com/images/3_10_a_full.jpg After aforementioned 'This Island Isn't Big Enough...', 'Mixed Doubles' is one of my least favo...

Caught an episode of Simon & Simon the other day (S3's "Betty Grable Flies Again"), and look who suddenly popped up on the screen... http://magnum-mania.com/images/yates.jpg ... our old friend Cassie Yates! :shock: The episode featured Pat Hingle as a grandfather with a mysterious past.

Only just found this thread, so most of the ground has already been covered, but my mind - like others - immediately jumped to Cassie Yates. I gotta go with Det. Gordon Katsumoto. His constant over-the-top (and bad) John Wayne impressions and quotes just annoyed me to no end. Then I remembered that ...

What was your favourite (and least favourite) season?

This might seem an obvious topic, so apologies if it's been done before, but which would you consider to be your favourite season? (As in, the best quality season overall, not just because it contains your favourite episode). Personally I lean towards the first (so fresh feeling, and some great stor...

Nice to see your lists, James and Commandress. A lot of yours were on my shortlist too.
(Except Commandress, I did consider 'Solo Flight', but could never take it over the original 'Home From the Sea' :lol: )
