Summary: Oh My GOD!!!
Review: Err, sit down Higgie Baby, take a chill pill.This was easily one of the best TV series ever made. In many respects it symbolized the vibrancy and optimism of the 1980s, following the dismal malaise that followed the Vietnam war.

Summary: Awesome! A Dream Come True!
Review: I got this for Christmas and haven't stopped watching it! I can't wait for Season 2 to 8! Seeing Magnum, Rick, TC, Higgy Baby, Zesus and Apollo is great! If you're a real die hard Magnum fan like me you'll enjoy this 4 DVD set. The Bonus set is even great. Having the Simon and Simon cross over and plus seeing the Sharon Stone Double Feature was cool too!
My other favorite part was the pilot episode "Please Don't Eat the Snow in Hawaii". I liked this because Tom was running a security check at Robin's Nest and the dogs were coming after him and he kept saying "Don't look at the dogs, pick the lock" and he turned and looked at the dogs and he said, "you looked at the dogs". Then the other part was when he finally by passed the alarm on the Ferrari he looked into the camera smiled and raised his eyebrows! LOVE THAT PART! :-)

Summary: Great Hawaii Memories
Review: I have been living on Oahu all my life, and as a kid I used to hang out on set while they filmed Magnum PI. This show brings back great memories.. I am happy it came out on DVD. Its one of the few shows that took place in Hawaii that shows an accurate image of what the people are really like here.. and also accurate on the physical geographic locations they used. Great plots.. Cant wait till it comes out!!

Summary: All Magnum fans should have this DVD
Review: I have owned this DVD for many months now. It is definitely worth the money. There have been very few shows that combine a great series of characters, a hot car, and the unbelievable beauty of Hawaii. I was excited to hear that a 2nd season is planned to be released. I hope all seasons are released.
I really love that they bring back the original opening credits with the original music and previews. I had forgotten about the old opening music, but instantly remembered it.
My only complaints are the tabs on the packaging, as others have stated, plus I did have one episode that was skipping and another that the voices did not match up with the lips. However, I am not positive this was the DVD. It might have been my DVD player.
The next series that I want is Hawaii 5-0!

Summary: BEST TV SERIES OUT ON DVD
Review: I purchased "Magnum, P.I." for my husband for Christmas, but we have both been glued to the TV watching episode after episode. Tom Selleck is as cute as ever, and my husband is all for getting a 1980's Fararri in red after rewatching the show!
The thing that keeps hitting us is that it was made in the 80's...who would have guessed that from the great plotlines and acting from all of the characters?! When compared to many of the 1980's shows (i.e. Knight Rider), "Magnum, P.I." is in a class by itself. It could be on TV today and would still have a HUGE audience.
We both watched the show when it first came out on TV, but we have found it all the more enjoyable now...especially compared to all the lame shows that are on TV these days. Our nightly discussions go something like this, "Wanna watch some TV?" "Sure...let's pop 'Magnum, P.I.' into the DVD player!" Our only problem is that we have had to ration our watching because we're down to the last three episodes...and those are from seasons 3 and 5, and one "Simon and Simon" episode! :-)
The DVD set is loaded with everything you would want to watch--ALL THE EPISODES FROM THE FIRST SEASON!! If you want a bunch of extras, don't look for it here, but if you just want to watch the show, this is a GREAT buy. Let's just hope that they come out with Seasons 2-8 for us diehard Magnum fans!!

Summary: Good show with average DVD packaging!
Review: I was only a casual fan of the show when it originally aired. If I was able to catch an episode that was great, if I missed an episode it was no big deal. However, I find there are very few shows that I like that are produced today and so when I found they were releasing MAGNUM P.I.-season one I made sure I obtained a copy. Compared to shows in production today M-P.I. is like a breath of fresh air. Seaon one really sets up the background relationship for the 4 main cast members. It has an almost perfect blend of mystery, humor and action. I can see why it ran for eight years.
As for the DVD packaging, it seems to have what is turning out to be the standard Universal packaging for the television shows they release in season format. The menu seems almost identical to the one used for KNIGHT RIDER-season 1. The disks are double-sided. I guess I'm lucky, I didn't have any problems with the playback of DVD's. I've purchased other universal disks that freeze up and had to exchange them for another set but this time I lucked out. As other reviewers mentioned not all the shows seem to have been cleaned up that well but they are still better than what is aired on television. This DVD package deserved a few commentary tracks and a documentary. I did enjoy the SIMON & SIMON crossover episodes and the Sharon Stone episodes. However, it made me wonder if the studio included them with season one because they did not have plans to release all the seasons for M-P.I.
All in all, while this DVD set could have been better developed it does deliver what fans of the show want most, a decent collection of M-P.I. shows that will provide hours of good entertainment.

Summary: See you in September
Review: I'm sure we can't wait till September and the release of the first season of Magnum on DVD. I for one pre-ordered it here at Amazon since forty-one dollars and ninety-nine cents for a whole season of Magnum is a steal. The shipping was even free. I hope it is not to late for the person that paid two hundred to stop their order for a transfer of VHS tapes of the show to DVD. This is by far one of the best detective series or overall television series I have seen. This is a show that you never get tired of seeing over and over. The cast and stories made it very watchable. Add in the gorgeous Hawaiin scenery and it couldn't be beat. Someday I hope that we may see Simon and Simon on DVD as well.

Summary: My favorite show. Season 1 is a great introduction.
Review: Magnum P.I. is my favorite TV show of all time. I will gladly purchase all 8 seasons on DVD if they are released. Season 1 aired during the 1980-1981 TV season, and consisted of the 2 hour pilot, plus 16 regular 1 hour episodes. Season 1 is a great introductory season. However, it's also one of my least favorite seasons. That's not to say it's a bad season, because it's not. However, season 1 doesn't have any of the truly outstanding episodes of future seasons, such as "Memories Are Forever" (season 2), "Did You See The Sunrise?" (Season 3), "Home From The Sea" (season 4), "Echoes Of The Mind" (season 5), "Limbo" (season 7), and "Unfinished Business" (season 8). Thus, I'm giving season 1 a 4 star rating. The episodes from season 1 are: "Don't Eat The Snow In Hawaii" - This is the 2 hour pilot. "Don't look at the dogs. Work the lock. Work the lock. Don't look at the dogs. Oh! You looked at the dogs." This is a great introduction to the series. However, if you really want to recruit new fans, I recommend you show them the season 4 episode "Home From The Sea." "China Doll" - This is a good action/adventure story. "Thank Heavan For Little Girls And Big Ones Too." Magnum gets hired by 5 little girls. Not one of my personal favorite episodes. "No Need To Know." - This is my favorite episode from season 1. Alfred Hitchcock said that having a bomb go off isn't suspenseful. What is suspensful is knowing that there's a bomb that's about to go off. The last several minutes of this show are Hitchcock all the way. "Skin Deep" - This is the episode where Magnum seems to think, "Well, as long as she's dead, I might as well eat the food in her refrigerator." And I love Higgins's graphic descriptions of the effects that a gunshot wound has on the human body when fired from various distances. This is one of the better episodes from season 1. "Never Again Never Again" - Magnum realizes that "Kessler is a Jew." Yes. And later he would become Doc Ibold. Good episode from this season. "The Ugliest Dog In Hawaii" - Actually, the dog looks fine to me. But this episode if just too formulaic. "Missing In Action" - A mysterious plot involving the military doesn't save this relatively boring episode. "Lest We Forget" - Another routine episode with too much forumla. "The Curse Of The King Kamehameha Club" - Since the Club plays such a big role in the series, why not give it its own episode? "Thicker Than Blood" - Magnum and T.C. get into a big fight. "All Roads Lead To Floyd" - The old guy is a really, really bad driver. Boring episode. "Adelaide" - A good story about a woman and her horse. Women sure do love horses. Pretty interesting story. And the horse knows how to defend himself. "Don't Say Goodbye" - The Ted Danson character gets killed by a boat propellor. "The Black Orchid" - This is a very enjoyable episode, with some nice homages to Bogart type characters and stories. This is one of my favorite episodes from season 1. The presence of guest actress Judith Chapman makes this a very interesting episode. She will return in the far superior season 2 episode "The Woman On The Beach," which, in my opinion, is better than anything from season 1. "J. Digger Doyle" - We get to see and hear Robin Masters in this episode. Notice how he gets his ideas from everyday occurences. "Beauty Knows No Pain" - Magnum gets a little more exercise than he had wanted. Magnum P.I. is my favortie TV show, and I think I have a right to point out its flaws. I never did like the idea of just blindly praising every episode. I recommend season 1 to all Magnum fans. But please keep in mind that most of the future seasons are better.
