I now have the whole series of Magnum P.I. Much to my amazement my son
enjoys the series too. I am very happy with my collection.
My Favorite SeasonJan 18, 2008
I love this 1981-82 Season of Magnum, PI the best throughout Magnum's whole 8-year run on CBS, since it had most of my favorite episodes like Try To Remember, Italian Ice, The Last Page, Wave Goodbye, The Taking Of Dick McWilliams, Texas Lightning, Three Minus Two, The Elmo Ziller Story, etc.
In addition to why I like Magnums Second Season the best, I also noticed that in the 1981-82 Season that it's funnier incidents would happen between Magnum(Tom Selleck), Higgins(John Hillerman), TC(Roger Mosley), and Rick(Larry Manetti), plus Magnum used the Ferrari more in the 2nd Season than he did in most other seasons, especially more than he did in the last 4 seasons of this show, which was another reason why I was so excited and dying to have Magnum's complete 2nd Season released on DVD.
In addition to that; this Magnum, P.I. DVD was complete and uncut like they were originally shown on CBS with the proper introduction, unlike the case when Magnum was shown in reruns on WGN, USA, and A&E, which had too many deleted scenes with too many added commercials in between, plus A&E, USA, and WGN didn't use the proper introduction to this season or most other seasons of Magnum on top of that, since USA, A&E, and WGN had revised all the episodes of Magnum, PI to use the Sixth Season introduction to every single episode instead, which really sucked, because that made the seasons less interesting to watch, since there wasn't much to compare to between each season all the way from the First Season to the Eighth Season.
But it was very interesting when you'd watch an episode from an earlier season and compare it to a later season, especially when the introduction between older and newer episodes are different, so you can compare to see how Magnum, Higgins, T.C., and Rick and them looked in the earlier seasons and how they ended up looking in the later seasons, which the introductions show you as well when they don't use the same intro to every single episode along with the fact that the same introduction to any show gets old and boring after while, unless of course the introduction changes eventually.
So now I am anxiously and eagerly awaiting for Magnum's 8th Season to be released on DVD. I also noticed that this was the season when TC started calling the grouchy ole Higgins "Higgy Baby" more often, but I think TC called Higgins "Higgie Baby" the most in this 1981-82 Season of Magnum more than any other season.
Therefore, this was practically the season when TC started using the name "Higgie Baby", which I always got a kick out of. So this review should be helpful to anyone who religiously watched Magnum every week like I did back then when this season was on CBS.
This also takes me all the way back to memory lane when CBS's motto was "Reach For The Stars" and when Magnum(Tom Selleck) was voted as TV's sexiest detective back in the early 1980's as well as his second year of being a superstar.
I was also interesting seeing
-Joanna Kerns in "The Last Page" episode before her days on GROWING PAINS
-Julie Sommars in the "Texas Lightning" episode before her MATLOCK days
-Beverly Garland in the "Two Minus Three" episode before her SCARECROW & MRS. KING days
-Jim Whitmore, Jr. in the "Billy Joe Bob" episode before his co-starring days as Hunter & McCall's geeky fellow officer(Sgt. Bernie Terwilliger) on HUNTER.
-Tyne Daly in "The Jororo Kill" episode before her CAGNEY & LACY days
-Football celebrity(Dick Butkus) in the "One More Summer" episode
-Judith Chapman in "The Woman On The Beach" episode before her days on YOUNG & THE RESTLESS and DAYS OF OUR LIVES
Additionally, this season takes me all the way back to memory lane to the recession we had back in 1981-1982 when Ronald Reagan was the president.
So now that Universal has all 8 seasons of MAGNUM out on DVD, I'm hoping it will inspire Warner Bros. to finally put the private detective drama MATT HOUSTON with Lee Horseley & Pamela Hensley out on DVD soon, since I've been waiting for MATT HOUSTON to be released on DVD for years now, especially throughout all the years I'd been awaiting for all 8 seasons of MAGNUM, PI to be put on DVD, since MATT HOUSTON was also a cool TV show that was in competition with MAGNUM throughout MATT HOUSTON's 3-year run on ABC, not to mention the amazing slight resemeblence between Magnum(Tom Selleck) and Houston(Lee Horseley).
