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 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.
