Yeah I bought it off iOffer.com $25 - the other shows I've got off there are just average quality recorded from TV. I assume this one will be the same. But that's ok, if that's all I can get it'll have to do. The 'North Shore' series I had from the net was quite good quality - so I'm assuming that ...

Hmm I wonder if it's unhealthy to look back fondly on the Cold War days??? Not at all. USA v USSR, 1980 Winter Olympics, Lake Placid, New York. :) True. But being a Canadian, the '72 Canada Russia Summit hockey series is a little more up my alley...even though it took place before I was born. A piv...

It looks like the Jungle Bird shirt Selleck wore in the show didn't have the front pocket, I wounder if the pocket can be removed without damaging the shirt. I've read that the exact design of the original Jungle Bird shirt that Selleck wore on the show has purposely been slightly changed...so as t...

Bought it on DVD a few weeks back, will leave my thoughts here once I get around to watching it. Yeah...I saw it for sale on a website about a year ago. I considered buying it, but it was pretty expensive...so I decided to wait. I loved the show, so I would love to have it on DVD...but I don't know...

In all honesty the plot of this episode is somewhat silly and even predictable. However, I love the interesting cast choices including Jill St. John from the 007 movie "Diamonds Are Forever", and Beverly Garland who I'll always remember as Kate Jackson's mother in "Scarecrow & Mrs. King". This episo...

Very good episode! The Vietnam backstory was done very nicely, and everyone gave awesome performances. I'll always remember Joanna Kerns as Mrs. Seavers from "Growing Pains"...but it's interesting to see her in more serious roles--and she's so young here! :o I also love the tie-ins with "Hawaii Five...

As I stated in my post/rating for the episode "Billy Joe Bob"...I do not really like cowboy/western type episodes or movies! They're just too "hick/hillbilly" for my taste. I know usually they're supposed to be for humor purposes...but they're not funny--just stupid! :? "The Elmo Ziller Story" was n...

This one was okay...not bad, but not great either. Every show in the 70's and 80's seemed to have to do one or 2 episodes about Russian atheletes or ballet dancers. In turn there's always KGB and bad spies. These episodes are usually predictable, and this one was no different. It was a decent episod...

I really like this episode! It has an awesome plot and performances by everyone! Dana Wynter, as always, was superb! Even though the ending was kind of predictable about half way through, it still was captivating to watch it unfold...and how Magnum came to realize that one of his childhood idols was...

This episode was allright, I guess. Not a "Blockbuster", but not terrible either. For some reason it just kind of bored me, and couldn't keep me interested. The woman who was the supposed spy was also not that believable. But, overall the episode was decent.

Just a quick comment on the car that tried to run Magnum down and was then chased by Magnum. Some may already know this, but it's a 1977 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme . http://img444.imageshack.us/img444/4128/cmcapture3.th.jpg I love cars, and I love watching episodes of TV shows and studying all the ...

This is one of my all-time favorites!!

Superb plot, with Magnum being more helpless (which is something you ha...

This is one of my all-time favorite episodes!! Superb plot, and acting by everyone! Very touching and heart-felt flashbacks to Magnum and Kate's Vietnam days. The idea of a cross-dressing killer was "wild" and something you don't see much...and dressed as the nun at the end--positively frightening! ...
