I'm 29 and sadly don't know anyone in my age group who is even remotely interested in Magnum I even met one guy my age who had never even heard of Magnum PI, can you imagine??? A wasted life... The only people in my life who I can discuss Magnum with are my father in-law and step-ish father, a sad state of affairs really! So, am I really alone in being a "younger" person who loves Magnum? is there any hope for the next generation?
It would be great to see an average age of Magnum lovers so, how old are you?
Apologies if this has already been done, I did have alook and couldn't see anything similar.
I'm 32- so close enough to your age group...
I remember Magnum being on TV as a kid, but I was into Transformers and Star Wars. It wasn't until my 20s and Magnum came on DVD that I got into it!
I still haven't seen Season 8. I'm holding off for a little while longer- there were a few Season 4 episodes I missed somehow as well.

Hey Dan! I actually remember my dad watching Magnum on tv in the 80's but back then I didn't have much interest either, Punky Brewster and You Can't Do That on Television were much more up my alley at the time
I hope my daughter's love for the show helps carry Magnum through another generation!
I wish I'd held off on watching Season 8, I hate knowing there is nothing left now, so final
I watched it at the beginning. My parents were big fans. I really didn't come to love it as much as I do though until about 1/2 way into its original run when they started airing it everyday on a local channel.
When I was a kid, I loved cop shows like Streets of San Francisco and Harry-O. Magnum and Rockford were the lighter ones of course, but I watched 'em all!
Just turned 63! I watched Magnum "the first time around" whenever my ex didn't have other plans for the TV.
Ten years ago I found my self in a TERRIBLE situation! I bought a house that was not...and still is not...in an area that is serviced by cable. So I went looking for SOMETHING to watch and stumbled upon DVDs...and, more specifically, Magnum PI DVDs!! Started with the first four seasons and only added the last four a couple of years ago.
I agree that having watched them all is a let-down...no closure...and leaves me YEARNING for an original cast movie. But there are a couple of great episodes in those last seasons, too, and I wouldn't have wanted to miss them.
Good topic, Jelly Doughnuts!

I'm 29 years old. It's the same here with me Jelly Doughnuts, none of my friends watch Magnum. When I was younger I never watched, last year I started watching Magnum and was hooked .

Spooky Amanda, you stole my life story, and I mean every bit of what you wrote including your age. But did you sit on your dad's lap at age 7 or 8 and watch reruns of The Wild, Wild West with him?

lol. No I didn't. I didn't even see Wild, Wild West until I was an adult, which is funny because it was right up my parents' alley. I remember watching My Favorite Martian with my dad when I was little, even younger than 7. Around then I think we were watching Battlestar Galactica and Buck Rogers together...
I'm 36. Used to watch Magnum when I was a kid, but not religiously. In the early years it was on past my bed time anyway! I thought I had watched most episodes in rerun throughout the '80s, but watching them on DVD made me realize how many I'd never seen.
