Re: Blu-Ray Magnum P.I.

Also a last call in this thread: IF anybody still has original airings of "Never Again, Never Again" and "Dream A Little Dream" and WANTS these audio tracks on the upcoming BluRay relase: Contact me. I honestly believe it's the last chance to properly archive these - Universal will never include the...

Re: US Blu-ray release of the complete series, March 22nd, 2022

This sounds awesome! If possible, these audio tracks would be included as an extra I suppose (since the current audio is likely sounding better) but it would be awesome if this BluRay Edition gets as complete as possible!
With improved picture and sound and maybe these goodies as well.

Thanks!

Searching for Pre-syndication VHS recordings for official Blu Ray Release

Aloha all! For an upcoming BluRay Release of MAGNUM (the real one) we are searching for 2 particular recordings of episodes PRIOR syndication: * Never again, Never again -> It's claimed we hear a shot and it's implied that Thomas shot Lena on the boat. The shot was removed when the show went into sy...

So sad to hear that he passed away. I had the pleasure to obtain his final episode script which was signed for him by Tom Selleck in 1988 and which he signed for me with a personal note. It's one of my favourite collectibles.

Doc Ibold will always remain one of my favourite characters.

I've got some 16mm broadcast prints in my collection but it was originally shot in 35mm of course. Never heard of 35mm broadcast copies here in germany - in the 80s they ran it from 16mm as well and then digitally in the 90s (when the new dubbed version premiered over here). The 80s dubbed german ve...

The theory usually includes the idea that there's somebody travelling the world and pretending to be Robin Masters and in this case he could indeed call Higgins without Higgins expecting his call. So Higgins is the true author of the books and the "real" Robin Masters but that actor is the man every...

This is my all-time favourite episode. After all these years I guess I have a solid Top-10 list and this one tops it since many years.

Nope. As far as I am informed, it was sold off after season 3 (if I remember correctly) and to a local resident. After that the track was lost. TC's vanagon's resurfaced - one was offered to me some years ago but bought by a different collector in the end. The remainings of the other cars is a bit m...

Sold off after season 3 (old one(s)) and after the final wrap 1988. I was told once by somebody in california that he bought the Audi 5000 - but paperwork was not supplied back then so I am not 100% sure it was the real Robin 2 (this was claimed to be one the second ones, seasons 4-8).

The scripts should be no problem - 99% of the ones sold on eBay are just copies, anyway. Getting a really prodction used one is pretty rare these days, too.

That's exactly how it works. And even more in the area of "original" shirts which often turn out non-originals even some paid several thousands of dollars for them. Some of this is also mentioned here: http://www.contactmusic.com/news/tom-selleck-warns-fans-about-buying-bogus-magnum-shirts_1330525 T...

Also being from Germany, I noticed these airings. They are based on a cleaned transfer made beginning of the 90s. This transfer became the foundation for our german edition we have available on DVD today. Afaik it was a simple 1K transfer (definitly good enough these days for SD broadcasting and DVD...

These "props" are all fake - they are relisted every week (nearly) and it's nothing authentic, not even from Hawaii. I am not sure it is actually legal to sell these broadcast tapes. Besides the fact they are unusable for non-professionals (who has access to such a tape machine these days??) I bet i...
