Today was the first time I had viewed this great episode. Boy, after the light-hearted and very funny "A Girl Named Sue" in the previous episode, we are hit with a profoundly moving and intense episode like "Unfinished Business"! I can't recall any show in history with range like that (although I su...

After reading some of the other comments and reviews on this episode, I was about to just skip it, but then decided to watch a little bit of it and wound up thoroughly enjoying the whole hour! Yes, it was campy, but it was intentionally campy and silly! For me, it was even funnier than "Rembrandt's ...

I'm sure glad there was an eighth season of Magnum, p.i. There were some good episodes like this one, and the actress who portrayed Rita was quite good and had good chemistry with Tom Selleck. Just a note of interest (for me at least): the restaurant where Joe, Rita and the mobster have dinner (One ...

I really enjoyed watching this episode because it was atypical, and for the last few years of Magnum, p.i., that was...typical. I mean, that was one of the things that made this series great: the fact that not all the episodes followed the same formula, but could venture out into comedy, fantasy, ti...

This episode reminds me of the movie "Sixth Sense", in which a dead person walks among the living and only a child can see the dead person. I don't recall seeing anything like that in TV or cinema quite like that, and this episode of "Magnum, p.i." predates "Sixth Sense" by about 12 years! Anyway, I...

Here is a bit of trivia: The newscaster broadcasting the shooting of T.C. was real-life and long-time newscaster Bob Jones. Here he is, third from the left: http://the.honoluluadvertiser.com/dailypix/2009/Feb/21/hawaii902210351V2_b.jpg . Today he writes a weekly column concerned with mostly politic...

Say, you might want to update your Profile to show that you're lucky enough to actually live in Honolulu. (Just click on the Profile button under the Magnum Mania logo at the top of this page, then scroll down to "Location:" and type in "Honolulu.") Then we'll know that you're a good source for loc...

I almost gave up on this one because it didn't seem very interesting...until the twist revealing Aunt Phoebe had Alzheimer's. Very poignant episode and handled very well, especially by Barbara Rush who portrayed Aunt Phoebe so convincingly. Also what made this episode meaningful to me was to see the...

Just watched this episode for the first time and thought it was great! To me, it was very tongue-in-cheek, wink-wink kind of episode paying homage to mystery/detective movies of the past. I suppose for those who are not familiar with film noir genre, they would not get all the subtle (and clever, I ...

I like this episode. It was so much better than the previous "LA" episode that was so below-average. I like how Higgins tried to impersonate Magnum by wearing the Detroit Tigers cap (which must have been hard for him considering what he thinks of baseball), imitating Magnum's walk and then saying, "...

This episode started off good, with T.C. and Magnum getting thrown in jail and Rick winning a million dollars. It was really funny how the one woman won $10,000 and was disappointed like it was nothing. But then, somehow things just slowed down. And I didn't quite understand the part about Blair Boy...

Ha, ha! What a great episode this was! With Higgins, you never know if it's really him or someone else, which keeps Magnum second-guessing. I like how Higgins has to prove himself to Magnum by telling him the Gunga Din story. I also like how Magnum knew Higgins would never resort to an amateurish mo...

I really enjoyed this episode. RJ was like a young Magnum in some ways. He even talked like Magnum ("I can explain everything."), and rationalizes his actions to suit his purposes. Also, he used Rick to track down the license plate of the hitmen, and of course, drove a Ferrari. RJ even looked like M...

Wow, so far having seen the first five seasons (and now watching the sixth season on DVD), this is my second favorite episode (next to the one where Magnum treads water)! This is an example of why Magnum, p.i. is so different. It was just not another private detective or crime series where a crime i...
