I'm a bit late to this thread but I'm a bit of a fan US made-for-tv movies. I'd say anything action/thriller related with either David Jannsen or Robert Urich in it is worth a punt. Whether they are 'obscure' though is debatable... Some of my Jannsen faves: Warning Shot (1966), The Longest Night (1...

I just watched the first one 'The Return of the Black Dragon' - if you can manage to get past arguably the cheesiest 90s opening titles ever made, this was actually quite good fun and pretty enjoyable. There is only one major flaw in the slaw in this episode - when Ski protects the girl he ends up s...

I'll confess, I am happy they have brought back the new show. Sure, it AIN'T original Magnum, but I have been enjoying this alternative version for a few years and well done to all concerned for getting Magnum back on air. Nothing will spoil the legacy of original Magnum, it will always be a classic...

I've ordered the set, I must be nuts.

Oh my word, I might just go and order this now.

In contrast to Magnum's shorts, those things he's smoking a looong! Without wanting to digress, I guess he's no worse than Telly Savalas doing work on the side for a bit of extra.

The question is, did Magnum smoke?



Smoke these kids, I do



P.S. Apologies if this has been posted before.

Great reviews on here Little Garwood. You have inspired me to restart watching Simon & Simon (which I'll do after I've finished 70s UK series Z-Cars).

I was very sad to b hear of Alex Cord's passing - he was an excellent actor and superb in Airwolf.

I have the German Blu-Ray release of the series, and it incudes the very much maligned fourth season too (all with English soundtracks of course). Love Airwolf.

I'll confess that although I like a lot of ITC shows, I've always struggled to get into The Persuaders. In Germany & Austria the show is known as 'Die 2' (The 2) as is renowned for its OTT dubbing into German. John Barry's theme is superb too, as it is to 'The Adventurer' too (starring the very much...

Thanks for posting that Little Garwood.

I recently invested in the entire series of original H-5O dvds but it'll probably take me a lifetime to get through 'em all. 281 episodes X 45 minutes = 12,645 minutes = 211 hours = 8.8 days. It's a lot. :lol: If you have a set schedule it goes pretty quickly. For me, I watch 3 or 4 episodes a week...

Great reviews on here, a great read! Love it.

Watched the first two - it's not bad, it's ok but often played for laughs. Certainly based on the first two, Magnum PI is head and shoulders above this show. Noticed Gulls Way (from Hardcastle & McCormick) in episode 1 proper. Lee Horsley as Matt Houston sounds like a mix of James Garner's Rockford ...
