Description of Magnum, P.I. - The Complete First Season:
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. --Paul Gaita
Magnum, P.I. - The Complete First Season Reviews:
Magnum P I The Complete Sixth Season 
2009-08-04 - I have watched three of the DVD's so far and most are entertaing and the quality is good. However, the third one broke up a good bit and I had a problem watching it to the end. I enjoy watching Tom Selleck. He is my favorite actor.
I had forgotten how good this show was! 
2009-07-04 - I used to watch the show back when it was on prime time. I had forgotten how good the show was! Interesting storylines, humor and suspense make for great family entertainment. Even with the outdated fashions and low budget special effects, the human interest of the stories still makes for great tv. In fact, it's kind of like a time capsule in that you can see what people were wearing, driving and doing for fun 30 years ago, and it's great fun! Of course, the uber gorgeous Tom Selleck is always a nice bonus!
Are you kidding me??
2009-04-29 - Listen, Magnum, P.I. is one of the best shows ever, no doubt, but almost $40 a season, you have to be kidding me. Before I actually looked, I figured to myself, inside my own brain "Hey, I should buy all eight seasoons on DVD... can't be more than $10 -15/season" NOPE, almost $40/season. I love the show.. Magnum, T.C., Rick, and even Higgins... even loved the almost reunion on "Las Vegas", but this show is a quarter of a CENTURY old... give the real fans a break... because you probably aren't going to make a whole lot of new ones!! Drop the price by... well... drop most of the price already!!!!
