Re:

Watched this episode last night. I thought the happy ending was a little too contrived. The wife commented when little Jessie appeared that the police would have made a complete check of the grounds before leaving and thus found Jessie. She tends to overthink things. Yeah, that was a bit of a stret...

Re: Adelaide (1.14)

I had never seen this episode (or if I did back in the day, I didn't remember it), until a couple nights ago. I watched it twice in the past two evenings. I like it. Its a nice, "feel good" episode. Its not up there with the best episodes of the series, nor is it particularly profound, but all-in-al...

Re: Moonlighting

This was probably my favorite show in the mid-80s. Re-watching it on dvd a few years ago, and its still very entertaining stuff but many times come across as rather dated. Its interesting, Magnum by comparison seems far less "dated" than Moonlighting. I'm not quite sure why that is. I love the old M...

Re: Two Birds of a Feather (3.20)

I have never liked this episode, but didn't realize how hated it was by fans. Interesting. I also didn't know it was supposed to be a pilot for another series. I actually didn't mind the show spending some time focusing on characters other than "Magnum and the gang." However, these other characters ...

Re: Billy Joe Bob (2.1)

Maybe I'm confused on which episode this is, I'll need to double check. Deleting my review for now.

Re: Favorite Subtleties of the Show

I love 80's "sleeze." That is to say, sleezy bars, nightclubs, strip joints, porno shops, back allies, nighttime streets teeming with hookers, neon signs. The show did a good job of incorporating those elements without making it the focus of the show. Its sad these days, there are so few sleezy plac...

Re: Things you DON'T Like About the Show

I'm new here (thanks to those who welcomed me in other threads). I happen to be a somewhat negative person in real life, so I always find things that could be (or could have been) better. Maybe its not even negative, just perfectionism. I enjoy airing some of the things that always bothered me about...

Re: Things you DON'T Like About the Show

I'm a fairly skeptical person. Not a big believer in psychics/ghosts/supernatural stuff. I don't even like it when Higgins uses hypnotism. :lol: I don't mind psychic or supernatural stuff in shows like the X-Files, but I don't like seeing it in "real world" shows like Magnum. Fair enough. a lot of ...

Re: Things you DON'T Like About the Show

I'm sure we're all big fans of Magnum, but who doesn't like to nitpick, right? ;) A few minor things that I didn't like Psychic powers. I have no idea why they would introduce this angle to the show. I've always disliked the idea of psychic detectives. Why bother with deductive reasoning when you c...

Tough one, but have to go with Shawn Hoskins (Ugliest Dog in Hawaii, Season 1).

Re: One More Summer (2.17)

This one was really a mixed bag for me. I am not a fan of American football at all so the story wasn't going to appeal to me all that much based on that. Taking that into account, I found it to be pretty poorly done. I can see Magnum being hired to help protect this player that used to be his back ...

Re: Blind Justice (5.7)

I was right, we do not hear the line "I got away with it once, I'll do it again" at the start of the show. This means the tape was doctored to add that, so we still have no proof he killed his first wife. The more I think about it, this episode seems better and more profound, although on the other h...

Re: Laura (7.18)

I'm surprised you didn't like this one since you are a fan of "Death and Taxes." I think they are very similar in style and tone. I only watched it once on DVD. I vaguely remember it from the original run. I just remember thinking it was too over the top a storyline, the girl being kidnapped and to...

Re: Magnum on Cozi

I love the 4 hours of Magnum on Cozi every Thursday night, there's just something special watching it on TV with thousands of others at the same time, even if parts are cut out. That said, you need to get all the DVD's of the series if you're a fan. Just make the investment and you won't regret it.

Re: The Absolute Worst Episodes

I like all the episodes of MPI. All of them except for one. And I HATE this episode. I cannot stand the two part episode "Echoes of the Mind." Honestly, it makes me want to vomit, and my mind refuses to recognize it as part of the MPI library. Oh, I hate so much about it. I could never stand Sharon...
