I can’t decide how much I like this story. Not the best of plots, but a touching twist. [rating=8.5] Thomas’s beloved Aunt Phoebe, a famous playwright, comes to stay at Robin’s Nest, but is convinced that someone is stalking her and trying to kill her for her latest play. But a much more upsetting p...

I guess it's no surprise this wasn't aired in the UK. This episode has all kinds of weird (violent) stuff going on - girls getting slapped around, guys getting slapped around, snuff film allusions, bondage porn, porn directors, porn video rentals, knives, etc.! :shock: I'm trying to find out if it ...

IKnowWhatYoureThinking wrote:Death and Taxes was one of the better Magnum episodes!

You say that as if most of them were bad?

I was particularly looking forward to this one, as when Five ran the series in 2002-3, this was one of two episodes they skipped, and until watching it on DVD last night, I had never seen this episode. [rating=9.0] Thomas has a hard time juggling his latest case – hired by an adult film star to inve...

Oh dear… I confess, I’ve really overlooked this one over the years – until now. [rating=9.0] Rick convinces Magnum to take a supposedly easy, high-reward job to track down a missing person, but the man who has hired him turns out to be a newly-retired New York detective, after those who raped and mu...

The first of two reviews from me today… [rating=8.5] Magnum is in Chinatown with Rick and T.C. to celebrate his forthcoming fortieth birthday, when he by chance meets a beautiful woman, whom he quickly falls in love with – but she is entwined with the protection racket he’s hired to break. Not bad… ...

Although in some ways a retread of the classic ‘Home From the Sea’, this one is well executed enough to be really good! [rating=10] In the middle of a run of bad luck which has included being fired from a case, without telling anyone Magnum decides to climb a remote mountain. But, already suffering ...

Here you go, this is for you my friend...

Why thank you very much!!

Well… I didn’t care for ‘Murder by Night’, but I like this one. I seem to be going against most people’s likes / dislikes at the moment! :oops: [rating=9.5] T.C. is shot while teaching Magnum to fly, leading Magnum to uncover that it was a case of mistaken identity, and that a Mexican Mafia King is ...

Blu-ray did win the format war earlier this year, so we might see something "down the road".... maybe. Right now there are hardly ANY older tv shows released on Blu-ray, or even scheduled to be released. I Dream of Jeannie is supposed to get the Blu-ray treatment, so anything is possible I guess. I...

I’m embarrassed to disagree with everyone on this one – I found the actual plot pretty boring I’m afraid! (Hence a briefer than usual review) [rating=6.5] In 1940s San Francisco, gumshoe P.I. Thomas Magnum investigates the murder of a newspaper tycoon – a case where many of the faces bear a strong r...

Last review of the week for me. Although not quite a classic, this is a pretty good episode IMO. [rating=9.5] Survival expert Higgins goes away on a weekend camping trip with a small group of teenage offenders, but things turn nasty when the group leader is shot dead, leaving the offenders hunting d...

Another one that lots of people to like, but I wasn’t too keen on, I’m afraid. :( [rating=6.5] Carol asks Thomas to investigate her mentor, a judge, after he has began acting very strangely and secretive. But the case implicates Rick’s friend Ice Pick, and both Carol and Rick begin to question the i...

Wednesday / Thursday’s review. A hard one to rate IMO. [rating=7.0] T.C. is excited about his two children, Melody and Bryant, paying a visit. But arriving at the airport, Melody is kidnapped, and Magnum must join T.C. in trying to track down the abductor. A middle of the road episode… ----- This re...

If it’s all the same to you, I’d like to put the terrible ‘Novel Connection’ behind me and just try to move on! Lol :lol: [rating=9.0] After Magnum rescues a native Hawaiian girl who stumbles into the middle of a murder, he awakes to find himself on the natives’ ‘forbidden island’, unable to remembe...
