Welcome to the forum Commandress. I'm in the UK too (I was born in '78 ), and can remember Magnum on ITV. Even if they were shown wildly out of sequence! :) Five words? Hmmm.... Well, five words that sum it up for me... Action, Adventure, Comedy, Drama, Friendship Also, I guess it depends what kind ...

Sorry if this thread has been done before – it has, I couldn’t find it. After finishing watching the whole series right through, it seemed like a good time to put together a list of my Top 10 all-time favourite episodes, and would be interested in seeing others. I’m being really strict here – TEN, n...

Glad they were appreciated.

I'm planning to go through the series a second time - there is loads more I want to note on. The great thing with MPI is that there is new stuff to spot each time you watch.

I'm currently trying to make up my mind what my all-time Top 10 episodes are.

You mean I have to remove the DVD from the case before I play it?
That would explain a lot!

Well... I've finally done it. Watched and reviewed every single episode of MPI. Anyway, I've added to each of the the ancient 'Top 5' threads in turn as I've completed each season, but couldn't find for the eighth season, so here is my own. As always, the exact order changes with my mood! :D 1. PLEA...

Phew… after part one, I thought the series might go out on weak point, but thankfully this concluding half is FAR better. Warning – this post is LONG! [rating=9.5] With Rick’s wedding to Cleo impending, Thomas continues to try and protect Linda from the psychopath who is stalking her, and also recei...

I can’t believe it – the end of the series. I was very annoyed / disappointed that the DVD used the cut two-part syndicated version though! [rating=7.5] Magnum is visiting his family in Virginia, where he meets his grandfather, when Higgins calls him back to Hawaii after ex-girlfriend Linda Lee Elli...

The final of my double-review Fridays. For the final regular episode, I was rather disappointed in this one. [rating=7.0] Higgins asks Thomas to investigate when Robin Masters’ latest manuscript is stolen. Complicating matters further is the return of St. Louie P.I. Luther Gillis, who arrives for an...

Yes I should have added Luther to the poll - I didn't intentionally overlook him.
I'm not sure if you can post more than 10 options in a poll though?
Either way, good to see the Gillis is getting some love

I have several DVD players, but the one I have been watching MPI on each night is a middle-of-the-road model, and I have had absolutely no problem with the double-sided disks at all.

I think it is generally older, early DVD models that have problems with double-sided disks.

A nice fun episode – can’t believe I’ve only got a couple more to go now! [rating=9.0] Higgins wants Magnum to find the ‘Lost Art of the Ancients’, a priceless ancient scroll created by an ancient advanced culture, but the search turns dangerous thanks to several other parties who are also determine...

What a strange episode. Not bottom-of-the-barrel, but very odd. [rating=8.0] The rest of the gang are too busy with their own endeavours when Thomas tries to get them interested in a potentially lucrative business venture, particularly T.C., whose son Bryant falls in with a juvenile biker gang, land...

Wednesday’s review. [rating=9.5] Magnum prepares for the trial of Quang Ki, who tried to kill both him and Michelle. But when the case is unexpectedly dismissed, Magnum receives a videotape showing terrible information about Michelle and daughter Lily, and goes out for revenge. A great ep… ----- Thi...

Phew – I didn’t like this one and thought I was going to be in a small minority, but it seems this one didn’t go down that well with most other members either. [rating=6.0] Magnum is hired by a woman to find the missing will of her late father, recently killed in a boating accident. But he finds him...

Possible mistake on this episode's main page: It says that 'Innocence... A Broad' is the only episode of the season not to feature any recurring characters. 'A Girl Named Sue' also does not contain and recurring characters, assuming by 'recurring' you mean frequent guest stars. Carol Burnett appear...
