My wife and I are buying a place in Kauai and giving all our good stuff away and gonna live carefree like magnum,We both have been working oversea now for years and saved our money,can't wait to start burning that good weed and running and swimming every dayOr whatever we want @50 and 45
A year after this show got canceled, I started living as carefree as Magnum's character. I was finishing my second year as a school teacher. I woke on my birthday and was 26 years old and realized I'd never been 16, just like Magnum was 33 in the beginning and realized he'd never been 23 (his reason for leaving the Navy). That summer of '89 I did whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted as long as it was safe and legal. At the end of the summer, I met my wife! Life's been great since!
Magnum p.i was in a class all by itself,, and It was never boring,the scripts were tight, the characters were ALL well defined and Higgins was absolutely AMAZING !!!
i think one reason the shows of yesteryears are better is back then they couldn't use too much sexual or violence scene to draw audience like today. So the storyline became more important.
so between shows like Twilight Zone (original) and CSI, I would go for the Twilight Zone anytime, even when it's in black and white.
Yes, John Hillerman is a native Texan, who can switch from his Texas draw to his Higgins "British" accent, then back at will. His "Elmo Zeller" character benefited his home town gruff, as well as his "Father McPatty" from his brit accent, but with an Irish twist. The British told John For his success on the series, "Good show,ol' boy!" John replied, "Thank you, but I have a confession to make..." You go, John!
@LethalBanjo I rather like Burn Notice, in comparison to all the rest of the new garbage. It's like a cross of Magnum P.I. and McGuyver, narrated and all!
@golfprov1x Coz you know what real tv is, not that mainstream riff raff & silliness they play nowadays. The 80s was well known for it's best movies, tv shows & music.
Always great fun to watch... They don't make shows like Magnum PI anymore... We enjoyed every week the years it was on... Great drama, fun, good humor, and of course, who could beat a such a great combo of actors like Selleck and Hillerman. Of course, there's only one Magnum, and it's Tom.
@mantra3000 there are great ones today fringe, mad men, archer (animated), TSCC(cancelled like every other good show remember firefly anyone :D?) but Magnum P.I. is a classic now cuz they dont make it like this anymore.and it's not like i love every other show from the 80s...just magnum p.i.
This is so mondo-righteous! This was the best times of television! A time when shows like this were sometimes cheesy but totally fun to watch! Yes, let's go back to those "better than now times! Thanks for the drive down memory lane! The best of times, the best of times...
I happen an episosde of Magnum the other day which was the first time since I use to watch it religiously in the 80's.
I had completely forgot how entertaining this show was. If only they could produce shows like this today! Nothing at the moment comes close. 80's television was simply out there.
yeah we had a social life too, and believe it or not, but we could live without a cellphone!
And life wasn't over if we lost one, because we didn't had or needed one! Now how about that? Now what did we have? We had Magnum, and that's al we needed, and we are proud of that. Yeah, those were the days.
We were a generation that did spend most of our freetime OUTSIDE, and not locked inside our rooms with the cutains closed so that
the light can't shine on the monitor from the x-box, and reduce social life and health to zero, because of sitting al day and getting fat from al those snacks because there's no time between the levels to eat propperly.
We did catch some sun, and stayed fit al day
because we were always playing some sport or rode a bike or anything that is powered by mussle only.
agreed, I grew up in the 80's and looking back, ok Maggie was scraping the country back to its feet and we only had furguson videostar top loader t orecord magnum on (god those were ace!!) but life was better somehow. I tried to explain this to a 18yr old friend of mine other day, she said she couldnt imagine life without her Mobile phone. HAHAHHAHAA

TOM SELLECK is the best Thomas Sullivan Magnum there is and ever will be!
I really REALLY hope they cast him as magnum for the MAGNUM P.I. MOVIE (in 2011)
