I am an old US Navy Vet, and I love all the references/inferences to the USN/MC.

This time the show was made was a different time and as they always say, they don't make them like they used to. While many episodes have some humor, quite a few are serious and you can feel it.. That's why this show won it's awards.

I missed most of these shows as I was in the NAVY then and when I got back I just didn't have the time to watch. But now I'm binging on Prime Video.

Glad to be here and interact.

I've been coming to this awesome site and forum for years, since the show started getting released on DVD, and just realised I have never signed up. I grew up watching Magnum PI in the 80's, and still have the video tape of the final episode that I recorded off TV, with a big "DO NOT WIPE OVER" message on the label. Back in those days, I could not have imagined such things as season box sets. Thanks to all for the great site!

Welcome! I too recall watching that final episode and also recorded it on VHS. I recorded many episodes actually because I was often not home when it was on, being in high school during its final seasons. I watched it from the very beginning, with my parents at first when I was in late elementary school. The VHS tapes are long gone though with various moves in my college years and after. I don’t even have a VCR anymore. Times do change!

I still have my VCR but unfortunately the new TVs don't have the output to plug the coaxial cable from the VCR into. :(

Cool. Thanks! Not that I need this at the moment (don't think I have anything on VHS that I don't own on DVD) but it might be cool to see what a VHS image would look like on my SmartTV using this HDMI adapter. :)
