I don't think the show jumped the shark in seasons 7-8 - if anything, it "unjumped". I'd consider seasons 5 and 6 to be the weakest of the show's seasons (though still with some fair episodes), but season 7 saw a rise in quality once again, with some really good episodes. Season 8 always felt a litt...

I have to agree with James........I liked Magnum because he wasn't the hard nosed, take no guff tough guy, PI. He was more like a mix of the tough guys and James Rockford wherein he could definitely deliver a punch that could knock someone out, but he took his fair share of beatings as well...........

I was really looking forward to reviewing this one; it’s a really good episode. [Rating: 9, Fine example] A British Army commander is staying at Robin's Nest after capturing some IRA members who are due to go on trial, and risks a retaliation killing. Magnum is hired by two intelligence agents to co...

Glad my thoughs and notes are appreciated :)

I liked Rick's early office too. I wish they'd kept it.

A shorter review this time, as this is probably my least favourite story from the first season. During the Christmas season, Magnum is hired by five young schoolgirls to find their missing teacher, but is unaware that it is part of a plot to steal a valuable painting recently purchased by Robin Mast...

Glad you liked it - not sure if I'll have SO much to say about most episodes, but I'll bring up whatever notes/bloopers/etc. that I find.

I was really annoyed with the music error on the DVD - I was hoping I'd finally have a 'perfect' version of one of my favourite episodes. :!:

MacGyver was only a poor man's A-Team anyway.
Where was B.A. Baracus??
And while Buffy indeed slayed many vampires, I wouldn't exactly call her tough.
As for the other two, never even watched them.

I suppose it's lucky ol' Thomas even made the top five!

Hi and daily Magnum reviews

Hi folks, Just thought I'd introduce myself. I'm a massive 'Magnum' fan and recently discovered this excellent site. As UK fans might remember, the show was rerun in the mornings 2002-3 on Channel 5. I was the editor for the show on TVTome.com (now TV.com) and created the episode guide as each episo...
