Magnum, P.I. - The Complete
First Season
on DVD
Amazon.com DVD Review - A ratings hit for eight seasons on CBS,
the action-mystery series Magnum, P.I. makes its DVD
boxed set debut in an impressive five-disc package
that offers not only the entire first season, but
some rarely seen episodes. Positioned in the old
Hawaii Five-O time slot (Thursdays at 9) in December
of 1980, Magnum quickly became a hit, thanks to the
combination of smart and witty scripting, gorgeous
locations, and the considerable charm of lead Tom
Selleck as former Naval Intelligence officer Thomas
Magnum, who gives up his position to become a
private investigator on Oahu with the help of fellow
Vietnam vets T.C. (Roger E. Mosley) and Rick (Larry
Manetti). Magnum also provided security for the
lavish estate of wealthy (and never-seen) mystery
writer Robin Masters, which gave him access to the
author's expensive vehicles (including a prized
Ferrari), much to the disapproval of Masters's
manservant Higgins (Jonathan Hillerman). A
rare series that skillfully blended action, humor,
drama, and suspense, Magnum, P.I.'s first season
gets the boxed set treatment its fans have been
hoping for, with all 18 first-season episodes
(including the two-part pilot, "Don't Eat the Snow
in Hawaii") included on four discs. The fifth disc
contains four rarely shown bonus episodes, including
season 3's "Ki'ls Don't Lie," which featured a
crossover plot with Simon and Simon, as well as its
conclusion ("Emeralds Are Not a Girl's Best
Friend"), which kicked off S&S's second season; the
latter episode has never been aired as part of
Magnum's syndicated package, which is another reason
for fans to pick up and enjoy this long-awaited set.

Magnum, P.I. - The Complete
Second Season
on DVD
Amazon.com DVD Review - Return to the Big Island for more
adventure with Tom Selleck’s charmingly roguish
detective hero, Thomas Magnum, courtesy of this
three-disc set, which compiles the entire second
season (1981-1982) of Magnum, P.I.. The 22 episodes
included here (among them the two-part "Memories Are
Forever") crystallize the key to the series’
success: an appealing blend of action, drama,
mystery, and comedy, cemented by Selleck and his
likable castmates, especially John Hillerman, who
would earn a Golden Globe for his work on Magnum in
’82. Highlights of the season include Magnum’s
attempt to stop an international assassin ("The
Jororo Kill," with Tyne Daly), the arrival of
Hemingway-esque author Mad Buck Gibson (Darren
McGavin) in the episode of the same name, and the
aforementioned two-parter, which reunites Magnum
with a woman he thought to have died after marrying
her while serving in Vietnam. The usual array of
classy guest stars are also on hand for this season;
in addition to the aforementioned actors, there are
turns by Mimi Rogers, Vic Morrow, Vera Miles, Jill
St. John, and Elisha Cook Jr. (who plays a much
different character than his recurring role as "Ice
Pick" in future seasons). And Magnum obsessives
should note early appearances by Gillian Dobb, who
played Agatha Chumley in numerous subsequent
episodes, as well as one of Higgins’s colorful,
estranged half-brothers in "The Elmo Ziller Story."
It’s unfortunate that the set itself doesn’t match
the quality of the Episodes--extras are limited to
second-season episodes from Knight Rider and The
A-Team--but Magnum fans should be pleased to have
all the episodes in a single set, and best of all,
commercial-free. --Paul Gaita |
