Kind of a weird mix of episodes I think. I was tempted to buy it, but it appears there are no extras or bonuses and I already have all the season DVDs. Don't they know they could get some more money out of the fans if they had added something we haven't already seen or own? Ha-ha!
Only Styles picked The Kona Winds and no one picked Blind Justice. Two pretty good picks however but they sure did need about a half a dozen more to really get to the heart of "The Best Of"................

Thanks for posting the list!

Blind Justice certainly stands out as an odd one to me in the list. A good episode, but not a stand out.

I looked on all local retailers web sites and it says online only for the knight rider one at least.

I'm surprised they didn't include at least one episode to showcase the "lighter" side of Magnum. The finale also seems like an odd choice, since I'm not sure it would be that satisfying to viewers unfamiliar with the show's history.
A decent lineup, though, and perhaps a better selection than what the other shows were given. For example, The A-Team's "Best Of" includes an episode routinely considered one of the worst by fans ("Body Slam").

Damn, I got 0 out of the 6!
Somewhat of a strange collection and not sure it would flow very well for someone who's never seen the series eg. 'Limbo' then directly followed by 'Resolutions' - so as far as they know, TM miraculously survived somehow (though they don't get to see what happened next), then straight to the finale with Lily etc.
Oh well, not a problem for us - don't think anyone here's is planning on buying it. And it may generate some more followers/interest in MPI which is the studios theory behind the release.

Wow, no "Sunrise"??
Still, not a bad little starter set for the casual fan. Would make for a great Father's Day gift.
