How often do you watch Magnum PI?
Just how often do you watch MPI? Is it daily, via syndication? Or whenever you get the urge, via DVD collection?
For myself, MPI has become our "go to" show, typically when there is nothing else to watch (which can be often). It's easy to pop in a DVD and get swept back to Hawai'i with our heroes, if just for a short time.
At other times, I get on a MPI tear and watch numerous episodes over short period of time.

I have an exercise room and an episode provides me with 45 minutes of entertainment while on a machine. I don't always watch an episode, like if a good football game is on or a golf tournment with Tiger in contention, I'll forego MPI.
On average, I watch MPI 3x per week so the entire series will last me a year. Tonight I'll watch the second hour of "Memories are Forever."

Currently every day, in the middle of my watch-and-review marathon, I watch an episode each weekday (each night before I go to sleep) and review it the next day (though I review Friday's on the same day).
Outside of that, I'll watch an episode that takes my fancy about once or twice a week, although I do go through phases of more or less.

Syndication just went off the air last week. I was watching that and the odd Season 1 episode in sequence on DVD up to then.
Now I'm going to pick up the pace with the DVDs.

Once in awhile, depending on what episode I want to see, and how busy my life is. Right now I'm trying to watch all of GAH, noticing a lot more guest stars from that show that were on MPI.
Mind you, over the crazy winter, I watched all of them throughout as I was getting back into the show, and hadn't seen some of them in over 10 years.

Our local "retro-station" only shows it on Saturday's now so I normally watch it then. I do have season's 1 thru 4 on DVD but just don't get around to watching them as much as I should. I do have a kind of a funny story, two years ago when I was in Sturgis for the big Motorcycle Rally I had the brilliant (at the time) idea of renting a ten foot Budget truck, loading up my bike in the back and camping out of the back of it during the Rally to save money(I made it three days before the heat and lack of proper toilet facilities sent me whinning like a little girl to a $300.00/night Hotel). Anyway, I borrowed my Son's portable DVD Player and brought along all of my Magnum DVD's that I would watch at night. My neighbors on either side of me in huge motorhomes would either feel sorry for me, or just liked what I was watching and would pop over to watch an episode or two with me.....

Steve, did you know that every year Indians from all over North America descend on the area near Sturgis / Rapid City for sundance ceremonies? Fasting is part of the ceremony, and for them means no water as well. They will sit alone for days with nothing other than a blanket in a small isolated square area and face 120deg days, thunderstorms, coyotes, snakes etc. Women do 4 days and men up to 7. Can you imagine? Makes your budget truck seem like the Ritz.Steve wrote:I made it three days before the heat and lack of proper toilet facilities sent me whinning like a little girl to a $300.00/night Hotel).

That's hilarious Steve! Those are the things you'll look back on with a smile; at Sturgis, in a Budget rental truck, watching Magnum with the well-to-do's!Steve wrote:My neighbors on either side of me in huge motorhomes would either feel sorry for me, or just liked what I was watching and would pop over to watch an episode or two with me.....
