My least favorites (in no particular order):

1. Adelaide (I think the word I'm looking for is "droll")
2. Never Again Never Again (at least Rick has one good moment in this one as a Sushi delivery boy)
3. The Taking of Dick McWilliams (Title character is so cheesy, it makes one wonder why anyone would want to find him)
4. Ghost Writer (I really don't have the words to describe it)
5. One More Summer (a REALLY bad North Dallas Forty knock-off)
6. Birdman of Budapest (the series' most ridiculous climax)
7. Jororo Farewell (one Jororo episode was enough)
8. A Little Bit of Luck, a Little Bit of Grief (Rick's character isn't this gullible)
9. Old Acquaintance (a bad knock-off of Day of the Dolphin)
10. Photo Play (one episode with Cassie Yates was enough!)

But I'd take them ALL over reality TV or CSI!!!!!

My least favorites(in no order) are
*Professor Higgins(1 Look at the Girl and I skipped this episode)
*J. Digger Doyle(Didn't really make sense to me)
*Never Again, Never Again(What's with the friendly Jews goin Nazi)
*Blind Justice(Justice wasn't served and a Jaguar being Crap)
*Try To Remember(The crash that never was)
*Tran Quoc Jones(other than Mac being seen, it was junk)
*Italian Ice(the "Good Girl" is the "bad Girl")
*A Pretty Good Dancing Chicken(Bad Season Ending)
*Ki'i's Don't Lie(the Ending is in Simon&Simon minus the MPI gang)
*Murder 101(again what was the point of this episode)
I do admit I've only seen Seasons 1,2, and 5 on DVD and watched the bonus Episodes, Eplaining how I saw Ki'i's Don't Lie.

Foe me the worst episode was basically the pilot for another Bellasario series.
The one about the pilot from Texas. I remember it had Joanna Kearns in it as well.
This for me was the worst episode of them as it was basically not a Magnum P.I. episode at all.

I'll second that, really dissapointed with that episode.

I was too, one big thing it had going for it was the fact that the guy did manage to carry the show as the character with the most time on screen. yes his story could have been better; what he did with that which he had though, wasn't terrible. I watched it, and even though I kept saying "Where is Magnum?" I was able to watch the rest. If I wasn't so keen on seeing Magnum, it would have been better.

You're spot on. It wasn't a bad show as such, as stand alone it would have been fine. It just shouldn't have been a 'Magnum' episode.

OK. Here's my 10 worst...although I'm with the folks who say that the worst Magnum PIs are better than any of the other shows...and CERTAINLY better than anything that's on today. But these are the episodes that I just might forward past on my way through the seasons.

1. I Witness
2. The Taking of Dick McWilliams
3. ...By It's Cover
4. Legacy From a Friend
5. Summer School
6. Out of Sync
7. Solo Flight
8. LA
9. Straight and Narrow
10. Texas Lightning

Wow . . . 10, I need to Ponder this.

You know? I think Kiss of the Sabre was bad enough IMHO to be my whole bottom 10!!

oh great, taking of dick mcwilliams is my next episode. Now I dont want to see it as much. I just saw mad buck.

I had a thought skittering around in my mind before but couldn't get it to surface. So I read back over the topic and it came to me.

Ban-1: Regarding your comment about Professor Higgins...careful, there...that's MRS Tom Selleck you're talking about!!

Right, guys?

eeyore · #26 Post by **eeyore** » Thu Sep 23, 2010 8:44 pm

Yeah, that's her, but I have to agree about the character. She played a bit part in another show, she was one of the guests at a party that was being held in the guesthouse without magnum's permission.

Agatha · #27 Post by **Agatha** » Fri Sep 24, 2010 3:48 am

Right, eeyore! Rembrandt's Girl. She was at the party that Rick and TC were having in the guest house while Higgins was TRYING to have a meditation weekend and Thomas was locked in the vault with Carol Burnett!!

Well, I can't come up with 10 for this list, but here's the four worst for me:

1. Smaller than Life. The premise is ridiculous; but as bad as it is, when "Reagan" answers the phone I crack up!

2. Kiss of the Sabre. Everything about this ep was wrong, but mostly it was boring.

3. Mad Buck Gibson. I know a lot of fans love it, but I think its depressing.

4. Holmes is Where the Heart Is. This is another one that many love, but I don't like. I love a good Higgins episode, but I just think this one is dull and depressing.

Even though these are my worst, I still think they are all watchable.

I'm not going to name ten but just say I hated the: Murder She Wote and the Simon and Simon crossover episodes, the two episodes with Judith Chapman (her acting style reminds me of Jon Lovitz's "Actor" character on Saturday Night Live) and of course Two Birds of a Feather. An insulting attempt at trying to sell a TV series...................
