I finally know where your avatar comes from - I was wondering why I didn't recognise it!

I found this hard to sit though. I shouldn’t be such a completist! [rating=5.5] Thomas Magnum has been arrested for supposedly killing a hitman in cold blood. Jessica looks into the case and tries to identify who really shot the hitman, and find who the true target is. A confusing and bland conclusi...

I agree with James about 'Mr. White Death', and I also for some reason really enjoy the third season's '...By It's Cover'. But my favourite "non-cast-centric" episode, as ConchRepublican has already mentioned, is 'China Doll', one of my all-time faves. I also love the season one finale 'Beauty Knows...

An extra review from me this week, as I wanted to cover both parts of this story. Which, by the way, I find incredibly dull, and possibly the weakest of the seventh season [rating=5.5] After Higgins is run off the road when driving some of Robin Masters guests to the Estate, Thomas finds himself inv...

The high quality of season seven continues, with another one of my all-time favourite episodes. [rating=10] While Magnum is working on a case to break a crooked gambling ring, he and Higgins become embroiled in a feud of one-upmanship with each other, but the level of their practical ‘jokes’ beings ...

This is definitely one of my Top 10 episodes, a classic. [rating=10] With her life endangered by Vietnamese assassins and forced to go on the run, Magnum’s estranged ex-wife Michelle leaves her five-year-old daughter Lily Katherine to be safeguarded by Magnum, leading him to once again try to find h...

What else can I say… an excellent episode! [rating=10] With the rest of the gang away, Magnum plans to spend the 4th of July break doing his tax audit, but a crazed serial killer with a knowledge of Magnum’s past starts taunting him over the phone with riddles of who his next victim will be. A top n...

The plot involves Jean Claude being poisoned, leading the other tecs and p.i.s to clamour to solve the case for themselves. But why did it have to be Jean Claude – why couldn’t Katsumoto be killed instead?! (Get the feeling that I don’t like that character at all?) LMAO!! You REALLY don't like Det....

This is a fun episode, although I have to say, watching this time around, it wasn’t quite as good as I remember it. Still not bad though! [rating=9.0] At the 14th Annual Convention of Private Investigators, Magnum is to be awarded a ‘Local P.I. of the Year’ award, but proceedings are halted when Jea...

A new week, a new batch of reviews. This episode is okay, but like MyGod!, Leslie is one of my lesser favourite recurring characters, I find her hard to warm to. She is slightly better here, though. [rating=8.0] Thomas injures his ankle while training for an upcoming charity relay race, and things g...

I recently re-watched 'Who Is Don Luis Higgins... ...And Why is He Doing these Terrible Things to Me?', and while others seem to like it, I was personally rather disappointed in it after the excellent first two 'half brother' stories. So... it may be an obvious question... but which is your favourit...

Although it sags a bit in the middle, this is a pretty good episode IMO. [rating=8.5] Carol asks Magnum to protect a deaf artist who was the only surviving witness of a violent armed bank robbery. But the culprit is determined to see that she never makes it to testify. A pretty decent episode… -----...

Part two of this mixed story; not much more to say than with Part I. [rating=7.5] As T.C., Higgins and Rick search for the missing Kenny, back in Los Angeles, Magnum and Cynthia grow closer as they investigate the string of murders. The conclusion to this, the weakest of the show's feature-length st...

Wow, am I really up to the seventh season already? Anyway, although I warmed to it slightly more this time around, I consider this to be the weakest of the feature-length stories… [rating=7.0] Magnum is in Los Angeles to issue a subpoena to a film company, but the young comedienne who befriends him ...

Well, I've just finished my reviews of Season 6, so seems like a good time to revive another ancient thread. I've decided I've been too hard on S6 over the years - I find it much better than the terrible Season 5! 1. WAY OF THE STALKING HORSE - One of the grittiest feeling stories, this is a really ...
