Great episode

Classic episode, I remembered seeing it on tv (as a re-run) as a kid. Probably one of the reasons for my lifelong enjoyment of Magnum PI, actually. I have decided to STOP watching Magnum PI in syndication until I'm through with the DVDs because I realized I've already seen almost every episode on Di...

other ideas

I was laying in bed after one of my gluttonous Magnum PI DVD marathons and I thought that a Magnum game should have some sequences or game modes where he runs. It may sound strange, but think of how many episodes Magnum has to chase someone in. You could have to hit the X button to make him run, tho...

Pretty good episode, some complaints though

I rate the episode as pretty good. The funny thing I just could not get past is that after the hoodlums leave the first time, Magnum, the great security specialist doesn't bother to lock the doors and secure the grounds? Preposterous!, as Higgins might declare... I would have surely (or have written...

Great episode

Just caught it on TV, thought about skipping it until I saw it had Sinatra in it. Then I figured it would be super-cheesy (like a lot of the episodes I have been reviewing lately) but to my surprise, this was a really good episode. Not traditional Magnum, but a collaboration that I consider very app...

Not the best for sure

I had the misfortune of watching this episode again because I'm watching the episodes in sequence and I sometimes catch one on in syndication. The only parts of this episode I like are the basketball scene with TC and Magnum (also because it features in the beginning montage - at least for some epis...

Jungle bird sleuthing

Maybe I should quit my day job and move to hawaii as a private investigator. I looked at your ebay ad, and noticed the tag says "paradise found." I went to google and googled it and they have a website: http://www.paradisefoundhawaiianshirts.com/ On the landing page it has a picture of magnum in his...

Hillarious hangover scene

I can't believe no one mentioned this yet... Higgins coming in to wake up a hungover Magnum with his little triangle and notes so as to be considerate, and then before he leaves ringing the ship's bell that we see in the periphery as he entered... ahhhhhhhhhhhhh I can relate only all too well and th...

First viewing struck me as average at best

Just caught this on TV, not in the episode-by-episode DVD viewing. Seemed a bit forced and actually made me just a bit sad in contemplating the mortality of the Magnum PI...television series... I hope the later episodes don't have this tone to them...I mean the episode probably has redeeming qualiti...

Classic episode!

I really love this episode. I think it is escapism at it's finest, and I don't mean that in a bad way. Part of the draw of Magnum PI is the escapism element for the viewer, hot car, mansion, great friends, excitement etc. This episode takes it to another level, because the story unfolds as TM (tempo...

One of the worst I've seen yet

I watched this episode last night, and I can hardly even remember anything to review...Again, maybe I get confused because I watch the syndication on TV sometimes as well as going episode by episode on my DVD, but the fact that it has the wrong "Carol" somehow also screws things up for me. Also, the...

Ice Pick

"This story is also notable for the first time we see Rick’s aging underworld contact Ice Pick" I swear there is footage of the other Icepick before this episode - but aside from watching my DVD's I also pick up Magnum random episodes on TV, But isn't the episode where Rick takes revenge for his sis...

Ideas for a hypothetical Magnum PI video game

Ok, this is my first post here. I have been a huge magnum PI fan my whole life, which means I have watched the show in syndication only. I have been a big video game fan, first person shooters mainly, starting from wolfenstein 3d, duke nukem 3d, goldeneye for n64, grand theft auto for playstation, a...
