The first show I watched that seemed to my liking was Magnum,pi. Tom Selleck John Hillerman, Roger E. Mosley, Larry Manetti...later the stars would line up to be reconstructed on this show, as a sort of comeback special. Angela Lansbury had murder she wrote, Tom selleck appeared on her show and she on his. And then there was Simon and Simon the 2 season, where Tom selleck appeared on that show and they on his show. The very first pilot show...every one would remember, the missing viet vet turned sniper. The show that is not released. Because of the questionable ethics that is shown. This was the first tv private detective show that touched that small nerve on the back of the head. The crazed viet vet-was he really crazy? Or did he go crazy at home? This show really touched on the small tight spring that was still wound tightly in most of us. Here was a tv show that spanned longer than most tv shows of it's type. out lasting the cbs movie special mcloud and colombo. Sea Hunt and the Blue Centurion. A new type of crime hero was emerging in our society and included landing in our living rooms, office buildings, bedrooms and front seats of cars. Crime fighters, who knew what they were doing. They were taking the initiative and fighting back. They were solving the missing persons, or taking back control of a fellow citizen. Here we had 3-viet friends...Thomas Magnum, Rick (orville) wright and TC all from Viet Nam spoending their days in paradise. In later episodes we learn more about John Hillerman the sgt maj domo...Johnathan Higgins...and his memoirs...and his confession in the season one that he is really Masters...and in the final show of magnum pi Aloha, Magnum. we learn that Higgins says_ I lied. Where as he smiles. All of these Magnum shows are classics. We will forever return to a simple time in our lives and recall every emotion and feeling from the day that we saw these shows. Should we say thank you to Donald P. Belasario who directed the show or to the many stars who did their jobs, or the stars who were the regulars...the line is so long whom to thank first.Read full review
I grew up watching Magnum along with other great TV shows of that era. It was Must See TV back then and now! It had great actors with well-written story lines and execution...unlike much of today's TV. If you are like me, and love old-school TV, you're in for a REAL treat! Magnum P.I. delivers with a bang. Tom Selleck, along with his co-stars fill out the show along with top-notch guest stars like Sharon Stone and Gerald McCrary. Give it a watch; you won't be disappointed!

With TV shows now scheduled for viewing , my wife and I are not pleased with the content of the shows. For good TV that is appropriate to our liking I purchased Magnum P.I.- The Complete First Season (2004, DVD). Now when the TV listings do not have shows that we like, we watch our Magnum P.I. dvds. We can control our TV for excellent viewing, I will be looking for other Magnum dvds to add to our collection.
While Magnum P.I. was a much loved show in the 80's and has many fans still today, it can be difficult to locate the series in a boxed set as most smaller retailers don't carry it in stock and the larger ones offer a back-ordering system that takes time and money. This boxed DVD set was easy to find, well under half the price of most retailers and arrived in a reasonable time frame.
I bought this DVD set for my wife's Birthday gift, we used to be able to watch Magnum Re-runs on a TV channel until our company moved it to a higher tier. Magnum is the type of show that you can put in the player,lay back and enjoy watching with the family, without wondering if you are going to have to skip through an inapropriate scene or not, sure he swears a little, but it still is nothing compared to what we have to listen to these days on TV. We also like the way that Magnum and Higgans interact.
