It says they will be available until September 18, 2011. I am guessing that perhaps other seasons will eventually become available.

Of course I and many others here already have those season 1 episodes on DVD, but I just wanted to mention it in case there's anyone who doesn't.

At the risk of sounding ignorant...why is NBC and not CBS showing full episodes?

I don't know much about this, but Universal has the rights to Magnum P.I. - we all see their fancy splash add preceding each episode on DVD. NBC and Universal are now one company.

I'm not sure how Universal got the rights in the first place though. I guess they bought 'em!

Hey guys,
Universal TV made Magnum back in the day and went to CBS for broadcasting?
At the end of each episode is the old-school Universal logo.

I guess that makes sense. CBS is probably not thrilled with that the arrangement! Their best show ever (!) owned by another network.

Hulu.com has been offering Season 1 for free for over a year now. Glad to see it's now being offered at other sites.

Viva Magnum!

FYI, for folks outside of the USA, the link wont load. I'd suggest using a proxy site. Or just pop in the DVD

Thomas, yep, wont show for me either, I guess we folks outside of the US have to buy the DVD collection...something I attended anyway.

They just started broadcasting Hawaii 5 0 here in Germany, I must say, I am less than thrilled, in my mind, Magnum PI had much better actors, better storylines , better directory, and a better sense of humor.

Hi guys,

If you want to watch outside the USA, just install Hotspot Shield. Works like a charm here in Switzerland.

Is the streaming video quality any better on NBC versus Hulu?

Are you talking about the new remake of Hawaii Five-O, or the original from a few decades ago?

I've always loved the original - I don't like the new one.

They're both pretty good - I didn't notice any difference in quality.
